Zusammenfassung:	PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an anticariogenic composition capable of suppressing production of glucan due to bacterium causing dental caries by including α- mannooligosaccharide. SOLUTION: This anticariogenic composition comprises an αmannooligosaccharide. The α-mannooligosaccharide consists mainly of an oligosaccharide obtained by bonding 2-10 mannoses at α-position and the bonding includes α-1,1, α-1,2, α-1,3, α-1,4 or α-1,6 bond. Such α-mannooligosaccharide is obtained by a method decomposing mannan of cell wall, etc., of microorganism with oxygen or an acid, a method, etc., carrying out condensation reaction of α-mannosidase from mannose. Further, commercially available α- mannooligosaccharide can also be used as the α-mannooligosaccharide. A composition for oral cavity or beverage and food are exemplified as the anticariogenic composition and preferable concentration of the α-mannooligosaccharide in these compositions is 0.01-5 wt.%. It is desirable to ingest the beverage or food in an amount of >=1 g, preferably >=5 g/day when the beverage or food is ingested in order to prevent caries.
