Abstract

Objective The effect of carbonated beverage containing resistant maltodextrin on the postprandial serum triglyceride was evaluated by a randomized double-blind crossover study. Method The subjects were 90 healthy volunteers(fasting serum triglyceride:120-200 mg/dL)and randomly divided into two groups. They ingested the test beverage containing 5 g(as fiber)of resistant maltodextrin or the placebo beverage containing none of resistant maltodextrin with a high fat diet. Serum triglyceride was measured before and 2, 3, 4 and 6 h after ingestion.Result In comparison with the placebo beverage, the test beverage significantly lowered the postprandial serum triglyceride at 2, 3 and 4 h after ingestion. In addition, postprandial serum remnant-like particle cholesterol was significantly lowered at 2, 3 and 4 h after ingestion of the test beverage. Conclusion These results suggest that the elevation of postprandial serum triglyceride issuppressed by the carbonated beverage containing resistant maltodextrin.
