It is disclosed herein that; a defatted rice germ, which was obtained by defatting the rice germ with an organic solvent or through a super critical extraction method, is further water-extracted to obtain a crude product containing a lipase inhibitor, and thus-obtained crude product is further purified by conducting a dialysis, ultra filtration or the like to obtain a partially purified lipase-inhibitor preparation. n The above rice term-resulting lipase inhibitor-containing crude product or its partially purified preparation is added to foods or pet feeds thereby allowing them to be remarkably excellent in anti-obesity effect as compared with prior art such as that derived from wheat germ or soybeans. |
