Benefits of technology

[0006] The present invention has the first object to provide an accelerator for mineral absorption, which is safely administered and is satisfactorily effective on promoting mineral absorption. The present invention has the second object to provide a composition for promoting mineral absorption, which contains the accelerator.
[0007] The present inventors have studied an accelerator for mineral absorption, which contains saccharides as effective ingre

Problems solved by technology

Excessive diet or aging causes breaking down hormone balances, and excessive intake of instant foods or increased frequent eating out in food life may cause a chronic mineral deficiency.
Although this method is more effective than a single administration of minerals, it is not necessarily satisfactory because of its complicated administration schedule and fear of side effect due to excessive administration of oily vitamins or hormone preparations.
In addition, such mineral prepar

Taking Cyclic Tetrasaccharide on Mineral Absorption in Rats

[0036] As disclosed in the specification of International Publication No. WO01 / 090338, it is known that cyclic tetrasaccharide acts as a dietary fiber. The dietary fiber is known to inhibit mineral absorption and increase the excretion of minerals as disclosed, for example, in “Shokumotsu-Seni, Kiso-to-Rinsho (Dietary fiber, basic and clinical)”, published by Asakura Publishing Company, Tokyo, Japan, 1997. Therefore, the following experiment was carried out in order to determine how cyclic tetrasaccharide influenced the mineral absorption.

experiment 1-1

Breeding and Weighing Rats

[0037] Forty of Wister rats weighing 110 to 120 g (five-weeks aged male, commercialized by Charles River Japan Inc., Yokohama, Japan) were bred with a feed containing ingredients (%) shown in Table 1 for one week in order to be familiarized. The familiarized rats were randomly divided into four groups with ten rats each. Each group was experimentally bred for eight weeks with either a feed without cyclic tetrasaccharide shown in Table 1 (hereinafter, it is called as “basic feed”), or another feed of basic feed supplemented with 1%, 2% or 5% on a dry solid basis, of cyclic tetrasaccharide in a crystalline anhydrous powder form with a purity of 99.5%, prepared in the following Example A-3. These basic feed and three kinds of feeds with cyclic tetrasaccharide were prepared to contain 44.75% of the total amount of cyclic tetrasaccharide and corn starch in each feed. From one week before the end of the breeding test, in order to determine the metabolism of calci...

experiment 2

[0050] Experiment 1 confirmed that cyclic tetrasaccharide promotes mineral absorption in alimentary canal of rat concretely in intestinum ileum or its upper alimentary canal. The following experiment was carried out in order to determine a part of alimentary canal, cyclic tetrasaccharide acts on to promote mineral absorption. Twenty heads of Wister rats (nine week aged male, commercialized by Charlesriver Corporation, Kanagawa, Japan) were bred for three days with a usual solid feed for rats. Under the anesthetization with ether, alimentary canal was taken out from each rat which had been bled from a jugular vein and treated by abdominal operation. Each alimentary canal was divided into jejunum, intestinum ileum and colon / rectum and washed with physiological saline to remove the content. The resulting jejunum specimen, intestinum ileum specimen or colon / rectum specimen was cut off to prepare each midsection sized with about 10 cm in length. The resulting midsection of each specimen ...

Abstract

The present invention has an object to provide an accelerator for mineral absorption and a composition containing the accelerator. The object is solved by providing an accelerator for mineral absorption comprising cyclic tetrasaccharide and/or saccharide derivatives thereof and a composition containing the accelerator.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a novel accelerator for mineral absorption and use thereof, more particularly, to a novel accelerator for mineral absorption, which contains as an effective ingredient a non-reducing saccharide composed of four glucose residues which cyclically bind each other via the α-1,3 and the α-1,6 linkages, namely, cyclo{→6)-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→} (hereinafter, it is called as “cyclic tetrasaccharide”), and / or a saccharide derivative thereof, and a composition containing the accelerator for mineral absorption. BACKGROUND ART [0002] Minerals, for example, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and iron, have been being analyzed to be a physiologically important nutrition for living bodies. Modern people would have to make considerable effort for continually attaining the intake of the necessary amounts of minerals everyday in their food lives. Excessive diet or aging caus...
