Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, a common problem with products used in weight loss or weight maintenance programs, such as meal replacements or low-calorie snacks, is that hunger can come on sooner than desired and / or may not be as full as desired Big
[0034] However, the satiety effect obtained from the above compositions is usually not optimal, and / or requires complex systems to provide

Embodiment 1

[0177] Commercially available meal replacement beverages (US Slim*Fast TM Chocolate Royale ready-to-drink beverage, multiple cans of the same batch) added 1.75% Protanal LF5 / 60 TM (The content of L-guluronic acid is 69%, and the weight average molecular weight is 1.0-1.2×10 5 Alginate from FMC Biopolymer), so that 325ml beverage contains 5.69g alginate. This meal replacement drink contains approximately 6.6g of protein.

[0178] Shake beverage cans, open, weigh and pour into Wolff food processor. Alginate, lactulose (5 g, added for calculation of intestinal transit time) and tricalcium phosphate (10% by weight of alginate) were mixed at 1500 rpm for 2 minutes at room temperature. The mixture was then evacuated and mixed for an additional 5 minutes. Steam was passed through the Wolff jacket until the contents warmed to 60°C and mixed at 1500 rpm for 15 minutes at this temperature. This mixture was then poured into the premix tank of the UHT plant and stirred slowly during ...

Abstract

The present invention provides an aqueous liquid or spoonable edible composition comprising at least 1%wt protein and from 0.1 to 5%wt of a biopolymer thickening agent which is not denatured or hydrolysed between pH 2 and 4, and wherein the composition has a gastric viscosity at 0.1 s<-1> and 37 DEG C of at least 20 Pa.s and further wherein the gastric viscosity is greater than the viscosity of the composition. The compositions of the invention have good satiety effects and are beneficial for use in weight control plans and may be used for the prevention and / or treatment of being overweight or obese. The edible composition may be a food composition intended for use in a weight loss or weight control plan such as a meal replacer food product.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to a food composition, in particular an aqueous or spoonable composition comprising a biopolymer thickener, providing an increased satiety effect. Background of the invention [0002] The incidence of obesity and the number of people considered overweight has increased dramatically in the last decade in countries following the so-called Western diet. Obesity and overweight are well known to be associated with various diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and atherosclerosis, and the increase of these diseases has become a major health concern for the medical community and individuals. And most Westerners consider being overweight unattractive. [0003] This has resulted in consumers becoming increasingly concerned about their health, creating a demand for products that help reduce or control daily calorie intake and / or manage weight and / or body shape. [0004] Various solutions have been propos...
