Problems solved by technology

Some reasons have been suggested that currently commercially available amylase inhibitors are unstable in the gastrointestinal tract due to pH, are insoluble in water, and / or lose potency due to the use of solvents and heat treatment

Embodiment 1

[0055] Purification of Amylase Inhibitors by Spray Drying

[0056] 1. Grinding

[0057] All dried non-GMO beans were checked for cleanliness. After confirmation of the quality control of the beans, 1000g of dried beans are put into Fitzpatrick  in the grinder. A #4 screen (process mill size) was used in this mill. Grinding continues until the beans are the right size.

[0058] 2. Extraction

[0059] Coarsely ground beans are placed in an extraction tube and then 2 to extract. The extraction process is carried out under vacuum pressure at a temperature of about 145°F for about 2 hours. Supercritical CO 2 Impurities (eg, lipids, oils, fats, and spices, etc.) are removed from the roughly ground beans while leaving the beans in pieces.

[0060] Then reduce the pressure in the extraction tube. The reduction in pressure causes impurities in the beans to precipitate out of the supercritical solution and into the separator.

[0061] 3. Heat preservation

Embodiment 2

[0071] Purification of amylase inhibitors by freeze-drying

[0072] 1. Grinding

[0073] All dried non-GMO beans are checked for cleanliness. After confirmation of the quality control of the beans, 1000g of dried beans are put into Fitzpatrick  in the grinder. A #4 screen (process mill size) was used in this mill. Grinding is continued until the beans have reached the proper size.

[0074] 2. Extraction

[0075] Coarsely ground beans are placed in an extraction tube and then 2 to extract. The extraction process is carried out under vacuum pressure at a temperature of about 145°F for about 2 hours. Supercritical CO 2 Impurities (eg, lipids, oils, fats, and spices, etc.) are removed from the roughly ground beans while leaving the beans in pieces.

Abstract

The present invention provides a purified amylase inhibitor obtained by a superior process that includes extracting ground beans with supercritical carbon dioxide. The invention also provides a method for inducing weight loss in a mammal in need thereof comprising administering to the mammal, an effective amount of an amylase inhibitor obtained by the superior process. A method for improving post-prandial glucose tolerance in a diabetic mammal comprising administering to the mammal, an effective amount of an amylase inhibitor obtained by the superior process, is also provided.

Description

Background technique [0001] Amylase is an enzyme used to break down a major source of carbohydrates in the human diet, namely starch. Digestion of starch begins in the mouth, where the glycosidic bonds of starch are hydrolyzed by alpha-amylase present in saliva. [0002] By the time thoroughly chewed food reaches the stomach, the average chain length of starch has been reduced from a few thousand glucose units to less than eight glucose units. The acid concentration in the stomach inactivates salivary alpha-amylase. Further digestion of starch continues in the small intestine by pancreatic alpha-amylase similar to that of salivary alpha-amylase. [0003] For example, reducing carbohydrate absorption by inhibiting starch digestion is a very promising strategy in the fields of weight loss and diabetes. From a dietary standpoint, it is important to target the breakdown of starch since it is a relatively non-essential nutrient providing few beneficial calories. [0004] Amylas...
