Abstract
A prebiotic composition includes a black tea ferment and a bioactive substance. The bioactive substance is soybean peptide powder, pea protein, rice protein, corn oligopeptide powder, or a combination thereof. The black tea ferment is prepared by the following steps: extracting tea leaves of Camellia sinensis with water at 50° C. to 100° C. for 0.5 hours to 3 hours to obtain a black tea extract, and fermenting the black tea extract with Saccharomyces cerevisiae BCRC20271, Bifidobacterium lactis BCRC910887, Lactobacillus gasseri BCRC910886, and Gluconacetobacter xylinus BCRC12335 for 12 days to 25 days to obtain the black tea ferment.
Claims11
A method for weight loss of a subject in need thereof, comprising:
- administering an effective dose of a prebiotic composition to the subject, the prebiotic composition comprising a black tea ferment and a bioactive substance, a weight ratio of the black tea ferment to the bioactive substance being 9:1 to 1:9, the bioactive substance being soybean peptide powder, pea protein, rice protein, corn oligopeptide powder, or a combination thereof, and the black tea ferment being prepared by the following steps:
- extracting tea leaves of Camellia sinensis with water at 50° C. to 100° C. for 0.5 hours to 3 hours to obtain a black tea extract;
- and
- fermenting the black tea extract with Saccharomyces cerevisiae BCRC20271, Bifidobacterium lactis BCRC 910887, Lactobacillus gasseri BCRC910886, and Gluconacetobacter xylinus BCRC12335 for 12 days to 25 days to obtain the black tea ferment;
- wherein the effect of weight loss is achieved by promoting growth of Hafnia alvei in the intestinal tract of the subject.
