Suntory Finds That Oolong Tea-derived Polymerized Polyphenol Has Anti-obesity Effect
26 May 2006
Suntory announced on May 22 that it has found a unique property of polymerized polyphenol derived from oolong tea.
The company's R&D unit has confirmed that oolong-tea polymerized polyphenol demonstrates an anti-obesity effect in experiments with mice. Specifically, mice administered with a polymerized polyphenol-added high-fat and sugar diet showed the dose-dependent inhibition of weight and body fat.
Details of the research were presented at the 60th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Nutrition and Food Science.
