A composition containing one or more materials selected from the group consisting of fatty acids, proteins, peptides, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, alcohols, sweeteners, acidulants, antioxidants, thickening stabilizer, and surfactants, and a flavonoid-cyclodextrin inclusion compound, wherein the inclusion compound contains an inclusion compound obtained by treating a flavonoid having a rhamnoside structure with an enzyme having rhamnosidase activity in the presence of a cyclodextrin. According to the present invention, the bitterness and the changes in color tones originated from flavonoids can be inhibited, and foodstuff or the like having an unpleasant taste can be improved, so that the present invention can be suitably utilized in fields such as medicaments, foodstuff, health foods, foods for specified health use, and cosmetics.

A composition comprising one or more polyphenols, such as oleuropein, rutin, curcumin or quercetin, can treat or prevent sarcopenia, reduce a loss of muscle functionality (e.g. muscle strength, gait speed, etc.), increase muscle functionality, and/or improve recovery of muscle functionality after muscle atrophy. The composition can be administered to an individual who is elderly and/or frail.
