Abstract:
This paper studied the preparation of the instant coffee beverage with weight-reducing function which used Calcium pyruvate and l-carnitine as main materials. In addition, the problems about improving the solubility of calcium pyruvate and the taste of the instant coffee beverage were solved. The best formula of the functional beverage (per 200 mL) were : 0.5g l-carnitine, 2.5g calcium pyruvate, 1.8g coffee, 5g malt dextrin, 0.66g Solubilizer, 0.08g xanthan gum, 0.5g sodium caseinate, 6g xylitol, 0.35g cyclamate, 0.10g defoamer and 0.003mL flavor. This research also studied the effect of the coffee on rat weight and its TG、CHO and HDL-C concentration in serum. In the animal experiment, the Wistar male rats were randomly divided into high, middle and low dosage groups and a control group. For the former three groups, they were separately fed with different dosage of the instant coffee beverage (20, 10 and 5 times higher than the recommended dose, respectively). Compared with the control group, the rat weight of low dosage group showed a decreasing tendency, and the concentration of TG was also obviously decreased. This study confirmed that this instant coffee beverage had significant effects of losing weight.
