Summary:Liquid coffee and milk based liquid coffee, both containing 1.0 g of mannooligosaccharides (MOS) from coffee mannan, were administered to two groups of six subjects each. The subjects consumed one or the other of the beverage everyday for two weeks. The level of fat in their excrement was subsequently analyzed. In both liquid coffee (p < 0.05, respectively) and milk based liquid coffee (p < 0.05, respectively), the concentration of the beverage containing MOS intake showed a significant decrease in comparison with the placebo and interval or those who did not drink any coffee. The result suggests that the intake of MOS can increase the level of fat excreted from the body irrespective.
