摘要:
Cereal β(1→3) β (1→4) glucan is used as a film or coating agent to produce clear, edible, biodegradable, delivery, lubricating, and protecting agents. Cereal β(1→-3) β (1→4) glucans are distinctive polymers of glucose differentiated from other polymers by not only their source but also their physicochemical properties. The β(1→3) β (1→4) forms a matrix to sequester other materials, such as pharmaceutical, medical and therapeutic agents, flavours, fragrances. The technology has applications to essential oils and non-aqueous materials that are rendered deliverable by the β(1→3) β (1→4) glucan. The β(1→3) β (1→4) glucan films described may be consumed whereby they dissolve in the mouth in a controlled manner and may be used for the delivery of pharmaceutical, medical or confectionery products.

The present invention relates to a method for the treatment and/or prevention of overweight in a monogastric mammal. More particularly, the invention is concerned with such a method comprising administering to the mammal a liquid edible composition with a pH of more than 5, a viscosity below 50 mPas at a shear rate of 100s -1 and 20°C, and a viscosity of at least 125% of the aforementioned viscosity at a pH 3 and a temperature of 37°C; and with a caloric density between 0 and 500 kcal per liter, the composition comprising: a. between 0.01 and 5 wt.% of one or more polysaccharides selected from the group consisting of pectin and alginate; and b. between 0.01 and 3 wt.% calcium.
摘要:
The present invention relates generally to a method of blunting the postprandial glycemic response to a meal by feeding an acid controlled induced viscosity fiber system. The first component of the induced viscosity fiber system is anionic soluble fiber. The second component of the induced viscosity fiber system is water-insoluble, acid-soluble multivalent cations. The fiber system will typically be incorporated into a meal replacement nutritional. The present invention also refers to a method of delivering soluble fiber to diabetics and to persons needing to lose weight. Additionally, the invention refers to a method of promoting the feeling of fullness and satiety by feeding a nutritional product containing the induced viscosity fiber system.
摘要:
A combination of one or more non-nutritive sweeteners, a sugar alcohol and D-tagatose are included in a zero- or low-calorie beverage or food product to achieve a taste substantially similar to that of a full-calorie beverage or food product. The combination is suitable for use in zero- or low-calorie frozen carbonated beverages.
摘要:
A composition which is obtained by causing a specific compound to be present together with sucralose. The composition provides a sucralose in a stable form, more particularly, a sucralose which is still stable and thus is significantly suppressed with respect to the decrease in sweetness and discoloration (browning, blackening), even when it is subjected to a warming treatment under a condition wherein temperature is high and especially water content is low and/or pH is low. The stabilized sucralose-containing composition can be used as a sweetener by itself and as a compound with a food or a drug.
摘要:
Novel utilization of sucralose which is a sweetener having a high sweetness. Compositions containing sucralose including: sweet compositions having excellent sweetness qualities based on the characteristics of sucralose; food compositions having masked offensive smell/offensive taste; functional food compositions (viscous food compositions, gelling food compositions, emulsifiable food compositions); food compositions with improved flavor; preservatives and food compositions with improved taste characteristics; and perfume compositions having improved flavor. Novel utilization of sucralose as a sweetness improver, a masking agent for offensive smell/offensive taste, a flavor improver, a function improver (viscosity, gelling properties, emulsification properties), a taste characteristic improver, and a flavor improver/enhancer.
摘要:
A low calorie, palatable fiber-containing, sugar substitute suitable for use as a substitute for table sugar and in the preparation of baked foods and other prepared solid and semi-solid comestibles is provided.
摘要:
The present invention relates to compositions and methods for masking the taste of an agent. In certain aspects, the invention comprises a microsphere and at least one sweetener therein. In another aspect, the invention comprises an edible material comprising at least one microsphere comprising an agent and at least one microsphere comprising a sweetener.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a sugar replacement composition, which is based on a novel and innovative combination of ingredients such that the sugar replacement composition gives rise to one or more advantageous use characteristics of comparable or superior to those of sucrose, including excellent taste, sweetness of sucrose, superior structural properties, e.g. in cake, sorbet and ice cream, improved crunchiness of biscuits, excellent organoleptic properties, low calorie content (in certain embodiments 100 kcal/100 g or less), permits reduction of fat content of certain foods such as chocolate, as well as significant health benefits, including low glycemic index, low cariogenicity, and prebiotic properties supporting growth of advantageous intestinal bacteria, beneficial effects or lowering blood sugar and slowing down the emptying of the stomach. The sugar replacement compositions of the present invention comprise polydextrose, and at least one polyol, wherein the content of the at least one polyol is from 20 weight % to 70 weight %, wherein at least one of the polyol components is erythritol, wherein the content of erythritol is from 20 weight % to 60 weight %, and wherein all weight % indications are based on the total of the sugar replacement composition being 100 weight %.
摘要:
The present invention relates to edible compositions which are reduced in fat and have an improved mouthfeel. The compositions find particular application in beverages and non-dairy creamers, but can be used in other edible products. The invention also relates to the agglomeration of micelles.
