Embodiment 1

[0078] Probiotics in common fiber blends with powdered fiber (see Table 1) and probiotic (Lactobacillus reuteri) (eg and ) compared to the viability of the probiotic in a modified fiber blend with agglomerated fiber granules and probiotic (see Table 2). result in figure 2 displayed in . like figure 2 As seen in the table, the data show that the water activity of the modified fiber blend is maintained at a lower level, which allows for better maintenance of the viability of the probiotic component over time. The amount of probiotics is 1X 10 8 CFU / sachet, this is the defined effective dose of Lactobacillus reuteri.

Abstract

Nutritional compositions including fiber blends having a stable amount of probiotics and methods of making the nutritional compositions are provided. In a general embodiment, the present disclosure provides a nutritional composition including a fiber blend having agglomerated fiber particulates and a probiotic. The fiber blend can have a water activity of less than about 0.15. The nutritional composition can be in an administerable form such as pharmaceutical formulations, nutritional formulations, dietary supplements, functional foods and beverage products.

Description

Background technique [0001] This disclosure generally relates to health and nutrition. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to nutritional compositions comprising fiber blends with a stabilized amount of probiotics and methods of making the fiber blends. [0002] Prebiotic microorganisms (hereinafter "probiotics") are microorganisms that beneficially affect the host by improving the host's intestinal microbial balance. Generally, these microorganisms are believed to inhibit or affect the growth and / or metabolism of pathogenic bacteria in the intestinal tract. Probiotics can also activate the immune function of the host. For this reason, many different methods of including probiotics in foods already exist. [0003] However, incorporating probiotics into foods presents many difficulties. One difficulty is having or maintaining sufficient daily numbers of viable colony forming units ("cfu") in foodstuffs. If the concentration of live probiotics in the food does...
