  • COMPOSITION FOR INHIBITING FAT ACCUMULATION
    Publication number: 20210260015
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a novel composition for use in suppressing fat accumulation, a novel composition for use in suppressing body weight gain, and a composition for use in promoting the production of a ketone body. According to the present invention, there is provided a composition for use in suppressing fat accumulation, suppressing body weight gain and/or promoting the production of a ketone body, comprising, as an active ingredient, a medium chain fatty acid glyceride comprising a saturated fatty acid having 8 carbon atoms as a constituent fatty acid. The ratio of the amount of the saturated fatty acid having 8 carbon atoms to the total amount of medium chain fatty acids of the medium chain fatty acid glyceride can be set to 0.6 or more. The medium chain fatty acid glyceride may further comprise, as a constituent fatty acid, a saturated fatty acid having 10 carbon atoms and/or a saturated fatty acid having 12 carbon atoms.
