<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a food enabling minerals to be absorbed in high efficiency, and to provide a method for promoting minerals absorption. <P>SOLUTION: A minerals absorption-promoting food containing agave inulin is provided. A minerals-absorbing food containing at least a minerals-inulin conjugate of metal ions composing minerals including calcium, copper, zinc and iron and/or metal complexes and agave inulin as a minerals absorption promoter, is provided. The method for promoting minerals absorption is also provided, comprising the following process: The inside of the large intestine is made weakly acidic owing to bacterial decomposition of an inulin conjugate formed by including agave inulin in minerals and/or agave inulin to effect increasing the solubility of the minerals to water. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
