There is provided a novel composition for oral cavity application to which a sustained release property is imparted so as to effectively exhibit the effects of a component for preventing bad odor from the oral cavity and/or a flavor component and/or an anti-dental caries component in the oral cavity. By incorporating a .beta.-2,1 linked fructose polymer as a polysaccharide together with a sweetener component, a component for preventing bad odor from the oral cavity and/or a flavor component and/or an anti-dental caries component, the residence time of the effective components described above can be prolonged in the oral cavity to enhance their effects and the residence time can also be controlled. That is, the composition for oral cavity application is characterized by sustained release of the effective components described.

Sustained release composition for application to the oral cavity

There is provided a food and drink having a reduced oil, fat, or sugar content yet retaining good gelation properties and good organoleptic properties, etc. A part of or the whole of gelation materials, low calorie sugars and/or oils and fats is/are replaced with polyfructan.
