Abstract

Objectives To evaluate the effect of the carbonated beverage containing resistant maltodextrin on the postprandial serum triglyceride levels. Trial design Randomized double-blinded placebo-controlling crossover study Methods For evaluation of the effect on postprandial serum triglyceride levels, a double-blinded crossover study was performed. Ninety volunteers were randomly divided into two groups and ingested a fat-rich diet together with 1 bottle（350mL）of the beverage that either did or did not contain resistant maltodextrin. Serum triglyceride levels were measured before and 2, 3, 4, and 6 hours after ingestion. Results Intake of the carbonated beverage containing resistant maltodextrin significantly suppressed the elevation of postprandial serum triglyceride levels at 2 and 3 hours after ingestion compared to levels with intake of placebo beverage（P＜0.05）. Conclusion These results indicated that the carbonated beverage containing resistant maltodextrin taken with a meal had an inhibitory effect on the postprandial serum triglyceride elevation.
