FIELD: food industry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to food products having prophylactic effect. The fat-binding composition contains an inclusion complex with a host molecule and a guest molecule. The guest molecule is represented by alpha and beta cyclodextrins. The guest compound may be represented by one or more quantities of compounds from the following list: amino acids, vitamins, flavouring substances and their related compounds, rutin, betanin and their derivative compounds and mixtures. The guest molecule is bound to the host molecule weakly and reversibly so that to enable substitution of the guest compound molecule with a fat molecule in a physiological medium, binding of such fat molecule being virtually irreversible. The proposed fat-binding composition may exist, for instance, in the form of a tablet or powder and may be included into the formula of a food product such as beverage. The proposed fat-binding composition (if prepared in the form of a tablet of powder) may optionally include a component providing for carbon dioxide release , with the composition to be dissolved in fizzy carbonated or still water.
EFFECT: proposed fat-binding composition may be used in a method for binding fat consumed by an animal, such method involving the animal consuming the proposed fat-binding composition or a food product or beverage containing it.
