PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject agent for inhibiting the activity of α-glucosidase, inactivating the digestion of sucrose, starch and oligosaccharides produced from the starch and having an action for inhibiting the sudden rise of blood glucose level and an action for preventing obesity by including α-methyl-D- xyloside as an active ingredient. SOLUTION: This α-glucosidase inhibitor contains α-methyl-D-xyloside as an active ingredient. A sugar composition comprises one or more kinds of digestive saccharides selected from sucrose, starch and oligosaccharides produced from the starch and the α-glucosidase inhibitor in an amount of 0.01-10 wt.%. A drink or food having an action for inhibiting the sudden rise of blood glucose level and an action for preventing obesity contains the composition. The inhibitor can safely be used for foods or drinks such as food raw materials, sweeteners and feeds to prevent obesity and diabetes without deteriorating tastes and enhancing costs. |
