The present invention provides plant-derived glycolytic enzyme inhibitors and foods, beverages and pharmaceuticals containing the same, which are effective for the prevention, alleviation of diabetes and the prevention of obesity. The present invention is carried out using an α-amylase inhibitor, α-glucosidase inhibitor, which is extracted from chestnut skin using ethanol or an aqueous ethanol solution, as a glycolysis inhibitor. The present invention may also be carried out by adding the above glycolytic enzyme inhibitor to a food composition or a pharmaceutical composition as an active ingredient for delaying digestion and absorption of sugars, suppressing blood sugar levels or raising insulin levels after eating, or preventing obesity. .n n n n Diabetes, Chestnut Cuticle, Glycolytic Enzymes, α-amylase, α-glucosidase, Blood Sugar, Insulin, Obesity |
