The present invention relates to an ingestible aggregate comprising a pre-swelled substantially anhydrous hydrocolloid and a substrate. More particularly this invention relates to an aggregate having as a substrate a dietary fiber and/or drug wherein the composition can be administered in a therapeutically effective amount. Hydrocolloids useful include natural and modified gums, celluloses, modified celluloses, pectins, mucillages, modified starches, noncellulose polysaccharides, algal polysaccharides and mixtures thereof. The aggregate should be in the size range of about 4 to about 70 U.S. mesh. The unpleasant taste and mouthfeel of the fiber and/or drug is effectively masked and substantial hydration is delayed until the composition reaches the stomach. The compositions are substantially more palatable, devoid of graininess, bitterness or fibrous texture. The pleasant taste of the composition encourages patient compliance with their fiber or drug therapy.

Ingestible aggregate and delivery system prepared therefrom

Sulfur is removed from a hydrocarbon fuel via contact with a desulfurization agent; the desulfurization agent is then regenerated (wherein sulfur is released) by exposing it to oxygen The sulfur removal and regeneration processes each can be carried out at relatively moderate temperatures, eg, from 300 to 600° C, and pressure, eg, about 079 to about 35 MPa; and the desulfurization agent can include a transition metal oxide, such as molybdenum oxide The process can also include the additional steps of cracking the hydrocarbon, separating high-boiling and low-boiling fractions from the reaction product and contacting the lower-boiling fraction with a secondary desulfurization agent

Ingestible aggregate and delivery system incorporating the same

One aspect of the invention provides dietary fiber compositions comprising effective amounts of glucomannan, xanthan gum, and alginate to produce a desired viscosity. The invention also provides food products comprising an effective amount of a dietary fiber composition. In other aspects, the invention provides methods for preparing a dietary fiber composition or a food product comprising a dietary fiber composition, and methods for promoting satiety, promoting weight loss, lowering blood glucose levels, or lowering blood cholesterol levels in a mammal.

Dietary supplement and methods of use

The present invention is directed to the use of pullulan as a slowly digested carbohydrate and to its incorporation into food products, especially beverages and meal replacement products.

Use of pullulan as a slowly digested carbohydrate

A granular composition of difficultly digestible polysaccharides (dietary fiber) is composed of a combination of one or more difficultly digestible polysaccharides selected from polysaccharides derived from roots of the plant such as glucomannan, polysaccharides derived from fruits of plants such as pectin, polysaccharides derived from seaweeds such as galactomannan, carragheenin, alginic acid, etc., various kinds of celluloses, and various kinds of brans and one or more difficultly digestible polysaccharides selected from alginates, alginic acid esters, agar, carboxymethyl cellulose salts, and pulullan. The granular composition of this invention is useful as a dietary food or dietary food additive.

Granular composition of difficult digestible polysaccharides

PURPOSE: To prepare granules of dietary fibers easily administrable without flying, by kneading a dietary fiber derived from root systems, fruits, etc. with a dietary fiber, e.g. alginate salts or agar, and granulating the resultant kneaded meterial. CONSTITUTION: 80W99pts.wt. one or two or more dietary fibers, e.g. polysac- charide, various celluloses or various barns derived from root systems fruits or sea- weeds, is mixed with 1W20pts.wt. a dietary fiber selected from the group consisting of alginate salts, alginic esters, agar, carboxymethl cellulosic salts, and pullulan or a mixture of two or more thereof, and kneaded with an adequate amount of water or a solvent e.g. ethanol or isopropanol. The resultant kneaded material is then granulated in an extruding granulator, screened and dried. COPYRIGHT: (C)1982,JPO&Japio

Granule of dietary fiber and its preparation

Swelling of a gel film attached to a soft substrate can induce surface instability, which results in the formation of highly ordered patterns such as wrinkles and folds. This phenomenon has been exploited to fabricate functional devices and rationalize morphogenesis. However, obtaining centimeter-scale patterns without immersing the film in a solvent remains challenging. Here, we show that wrinkles with wavelengths of up to a few centimeters can be spontaneously created during the open-air fabrication of film-substrate bilayers of polyacrylamide (PAAm) hydrogels. When the film of an aqueous pregel solution of acrylamide prepared on the PAAm hydrogel substrate undergoes open-air gelation, hexagonally packed dimples initially emerge on the surface, which later evolve into randomly oriented wrinkles. The formation of such self-organized patterns can be attributed to the surface instability resulting from autonomous water transport in the bilayer system during open-air fabrication. The temporal evolution of the patterns can be ascribed to an increase in overstress in the hydrogel film due to continued water uptake. The wrinkle wavelength can be controlled in the centimeter-scale range by adjusting the film thickness of the aqueous pregel solution. Our self-wrinkling method provides a simple mechanism for the generation of swelling-induced centimeter-scale wrinkles without requiring an external solvent, which is unachievable with conventional approaches.
