Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of dietary supplements, specifically relating to a composition, preparation method, resulting product, and application. Background Technology

[0002] Compared to solid powder products that require liquid preparation, ready-to-eat solid powder products have advantages such as being convenient to carry and consume, and are currently favored by consumers. Moreover, because they can be consumed directly, they are more suitable for today's fast-paced consumption experience.

[0003] In existing technologies, edible solid powders with low sugar alcohol content (e.g., sugar alcohol content less than or equal to 30%) typically suffer from poor taste and texture, including noticeable gritty texture, stickiness, and poor dispersibility. When these solid beverages or powders are ingested, the powder tends to clump together and fail to dissolve properly, negatively impacting the overall experience.

[0004] To avoid the aforementioned defects, it is usually necessary to increase the sugar alcohol content. However, when the sugar alcohol content is high, due to the small particle size of the sugar alcohol components, products containing a large number of small-particle sugar alcohols often experience clumping and heat melting problems during production and storage. Existing flash-melting products typically contain xylitol and erythritol. To avoid heat melting and clumping defects, the xylitol content is usually set lower than the erythritol content. This is because xylitol molecules are highly polar, which improves the solubility of flash-melting products but also makes them more prone to particle adhesion and aggregation, making them more susceptible to adhesion upon heating, i.e., heat melting instability. However, the current technology of increasing the total proportion of sugar alcohol components and reducing the proportion of xylitol can only alleviate the clumping defect, but cannot completely avoid the heat melting and clumping defect.

[0005] Therefore, new approaches are needed to prepare the composition. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a composition that, by setting the mass ratio of xylitol and the first component sugar alcohol to 300-500:100-300 and the mass ratio of the sugar alcohol component and the porous medium to 400-700:10-70, forms a stable dispersion system, reduces thermal adhesion, and improves the thermal stability of the composition.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A composition comprising a sugar alcohol component, a porous medium, and an auxiliary component, wherein the sugar alcohol component comprises xylitol and a first component sugar alcohol, the first component sugar alcohol being erythritol and / or isomaltitol, and the mass ratio of the xylitol to the first component sugar alcohol is 300-500:100-300; and the mass ratio of the sugar alcohol component to the porous medium is 400-700:10-70.

[0009] Furthermore, the porous medium is one or a combination of microcrystalline cellulose, resistant dextrin, and maltodextrin.

[0010] Furthermore, the first component sugar alcohol is erythritol.

[0011] Furthermore, the porous medium is microcrystalline cellulose.

[0012] Furthermore, the sugar alcohol component accounts for no less than 40 wt% of the composition.

[0013] Furthermore, the sugar alcohol component has a mesh size of 60-200 mesh.

[0014] Furthermore, the auxiliary components include one or more of silica, fragrance, fruit powder, acidity regulator, and functional composition.

[0015] Further, it includes 400-700 parts of sugar alcohol component, 10-70 parts of porous medium, 1-6 parts of silica, 0.1-50 parts of flavoring, 0.1-50 parts of fruit powder, 0.1-50 parts of acidity regulator, and 0.1-50 parts of functional composition.

[0016] Furthermore, the efficacy composition includes at least one of prebiotics, probiotics, and animal or plant-derived proteins.

[0017] This application also provides a method for preparing the composition as described above, comprising:

[0018] The sugar alcohol component, porous media, and auxiliary components were pulverized, sieved, and weighed separately, and then mixed to obtain a composition.

[0019] This application also provides a product comprising the composition described above.

[0020] This application also provides the use of the compositions and / or products described above in food and pharmaceuticals.

[0021] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] This application abandons the existing formulations that reduce xylitol content, and sets the mass ratio of xylitol to the first component sugar alcohol to be 300-500:100-300, and the mass ratio of the sugar alcohol component to the porous medium to be 400-700:10-70. That is, the xylitol content is higher than the first component sugar alcohol content. At the same time, the use of a porous medium with low density allows the sugar alcohol component and the porous medium under specific components to form a stable dispersion system. At the same time, when the xylitol content is high, the strong molecular polarity of xylitol helps the dispersion system to have better solubility. The addition of porous medium helps to reduce the hydrogen bonding between xylitol and the first component sugar alcohol and water, reduce the probability of thermal adhesion, improve the thermal stability of the composition, and avoid the problem of thermal agglomeration of the composition during the preparation process.

[0027] This application provides a composition comprising a sugar alcohol component, a porous medium, and an auxiliary component. The sugar alcohol component includes xylitol and a first component sugar alcohol, wherein the first component sugar alcohol is erythritol and / or isomaltitol, and the mass ratio of xylitol to the first component sugar alcohol is 300-500:100-300; the mass ratio of the sugar alcohol component to the porous medium is 400-700:10-70.

At the same time, a porous structure is adopted, and the sugar alcohol components with specific content and the porous medium form a stable dispersion system. In this dispersion system, due to the high xylitol content, the strong molecular polarity of xylitol helps the dispersion system to have good solubility (i.e., it has a flash dissolution effect). At the same time, the porous medium in this dispersion system helps to reduce the hydrogen bonding between xylitol and the first component sugar alcohol and water, reduce the probability of thermal adhesion, improve the thermal melt stability of the composition, and avoid the problem of thermal melting and clumping of the composition during the preparation process.

[0184] This embodiment provides a method for preparing a composition, comprising:

[0185] Xylitol, erythritol, microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide, sweet orange powder, compound bacterial powder, whey protein powder, sweet orange flavoring, and citric acid were pulverized and sieved respectively.

[0186] Weigh xylitol, erythritol, microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide, sweet orange powder, compound bacterial powder, whey protein powder, sweet orange flavoring, and citric acid according to the above mass fractions, and mix the weighed components evenly to obtain the composition.

[0187] The specific test methods described in this application are as follows:

[0188] Method for determining the mesh size of sugar alcohols: The manual sieving method in Method II of General Chapter 0982 of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia is adopted. Specifically, an appropriate amount of sample is weighed and passed through a 60-mesh sieve and a 200-mesh sieve respectively to obtain the weight of the 60-200 mesh sieve and calculate its proportion.

[0189] Dissolution test method: Take 2g of sample, pour it into a clean and dry flat-bottomed glass dish (about 7cm in diameter), spread it out, add 10ml of warm water at 30℃~40℃, gently shake the glass dish clockwise 3 times, observe for a time, and evaluate the flash dissolution effect according to the evaluation criteria in Table 1, ensuring that all particles are completely immersed in the water within the specified time.

[0190] Table 1 Dispersibility Test Standards

[0191]

[0192] Thermosensitivity test method: Take 2g of sample, place it in an aluminum composite bag and seal it. Place it in a hot air drying oven at 55℃±5℃ (i.e., the preparation temperature) for 3 hours, then remove and cool to room temperature. Open the bag and confirm the sensory characteristics to characterize the sample's instability index. The lower the instability index, the more stable the sample. In the following testing process, non-caking is indicated by -. Sample image as shown. Figure 1 As shown; pseudo-agglomerates are indicated by +, sample image as shown. Figure 2 As shown; lumps or heat fusion are indicated by ++, sample image as shown. Figure 3 As shown.

[0193] Experiment 1 - Screening for Sugar Alcohols

[0194] The samples from Examples 1, 2, 1, 2, and 3 were subjected to thermosensitivity and disintegration tests as described above. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0195] Table 2 Test results during the screening of sugar alcohols

[0196]

[0197] It can be seen that only the dispersion system formed by xylitol, erythritol and microcrystalline cellulose has good dispersibility and thermosensitivity at the same time. This indicates that only under the dispersion system of specific components can the thermal stability of the composition be improved and the problem of thermal agglomeration of the composition during the preparation process be avoided.

[0198] Experiment 2 - Screening Sugar Alcohol Ratios

[0199] The samples from Examples 1, 3, 4, Comparative Example 4, and Comparative Example 5 were subjected to thermosensitivity and disintegration tests as described above. The test results are shown in Table 3.

[0200] Table 3 Test results during the screening of sugar alcohols

[0201]

[0202] It can be seen that only when the ratio of xylitol to erythritol is maintained at 300-500:100-300 can the resulting dispersion system have both good dispersibility and heat sensitivity. This indicates that only a dispersion system with a specific weight ratio can improve the thermal stability of the composition and avoid the problem of thermal agglomeration during the preparation process.

[0203] Experimental Example 3 - Screening the proportion of microcrystalline cellulose

[0204] The samples from Examples 5, 6, 7, Comparative Example 6, and 7 were subjected to thermosensitivity and disintegration tests as described above, and the test results are shown in Table 4.

[0205] Table 4. Test results during the screening process for microcrystalline cellulose ratio.

[0206]

[0207] It can be seen that only when the ratio of sugar alcohol component to microcrystalline cellulose is maintained at 600:10-70 can the resulting dispersion system have both good dispersibility and thermosensitivity. This indicates that only a dispersion system with a specific weight ratio can improve the thermal stability of the composition and avoid the problem of thermal agglomeration during the preparation process.

[0208] Experiment Example 4 - Screening Other Porous Media Ratios

[0209] The samples from Examples 1, 15, and 16 were subjected to thermosensitivity and disintegration tests as described above, and the test results are shown in Table 5.

[0210] Table 5. Test results during the screening of other porous media ratios.

[0211]

[0212] It can be seen that the dispersion system formed by the sugar alcohol component and microcrystalline cellulose has both good dispersibility and thermosensitivity. When the porous medium is resistant dextrin or maltodextrin, the dispersion system has good dispersibility and slight pseudo-agglomeration. During the application of the composition, the slight pseudo-agglomeration meets the quality standards, and there is no significant difference in sensory perception compared to the non-agglomeration effect. This indicates that resistant dextrin, maltodextrin, and microcrystalline cellulose can all form stable dispersion systems with the sugar alcohol component.

[0213] Experiment 5 - Screening the proportion of sugar alcohol components

[0214] The samples from Examples 8 and 9, and Comparative Examples 8 and 9 were subjected to thermosensitivity and dissolution tests as described above. The test results are shown in Table 6.

[0215] Table 6 Test results during the screening of sugar alcohol component ratios

[0216]

[0217] It can be seen that: in Example 8, the sugar alcohol component accounted for 76 wt% of the formulation; in Example 9, the sugar alcohol component accounted for 55 wt% of the formulation; in Comparative Example 8, the sugar alcohol component accounted for 37 wt% of the formulation; and in Comparative Example 9, the sugar alcohol component accounted for 38 wt% of the formulation. Only when the sugar alcohol component accounted for more than 40 wt% of the formulation did it simultaneously exhibit good dispersibility and thermosensitivity. When the sugar alcohol component accounted for too low a proportion, the thermosensitivity of the dispersion system was relatively stable, but the dispersibility was poor. This indicates that only a dispersion system at a specific weight percentage can improve the thermal stability of the composition and avoid the problem of thermal agglomeration during the preparation process.

[0218] Experimental Example 6 - Addition of auxiliary components and functional compositions

[0219] The samples from Examples 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 were subjected to thermosensitivity and disintegration tests as described above, and the test results are shown in Table 7.

[0220] Table 7 Test results of the addition process of auxiliary components and functional compositions

[0221]

[0222] It can be seen that when the mass ratio of xylitol to erythritol and the mass ratio of sugar alcohol components to microcrystalline cellulose are satisfied, the addition of probiotics, prebiotics, fruit powder, acidity regulators and animal and plant-derived proteins to the composition can ensure that the composition has good dispersibility and heat sensitivity. In practical applications, corresponding auxiliary components and functional compositions can be added according to actual needs.

[0223] Experiment 7 - Screening the Proportion of Sugar Alcohol Components

[0224] The samples from Examples 9, 17, 18, Comparative Example 9, and Comparative Example 10 were subjected to thermosensitivity and disintegration tests as described above, and the test results are shown in Table 8.

[0225] Table 6 Test results during the screening of sugar alcohol component ratios

[0226]

[0227] It can be seen that only when the mesh size of the sugar alcohol component is maintained between 60 and 200 mesh does it exhibit both good dispersibility and thermosensitivity. However, when the mesh size of the sugar alcohol component is less than 60 mesh or greater than 200 mesh, the dispersibility of the dispersion system deteriorates. This indicates that only dispersion systems formed within a specific mesh size range of the sugar alcohol component can improve the thermal stability of the composition and avoid the problem of thermal agglomeration during preparation.

[0228] In summary, this application abandons the existing formulations that reduce xylitol content, and sets the mass ratio of xylitol to the first component sugar alcohol to be 300-500:100-300, that is, the xylitol content is higher than the first component sugar alcohol content. At the same time, it utilizes a porous medium with a high density, so that the sugar alcohol components under specific conditions and the porous medium form a stable dispersion system. In addition, when the xylitol content is high, the strong molecular polarity of xylitol helps the dispersion system to have better solubility. The addition of porous medium helps to reduce the hydrogen bonding between xylitol and the first component sugar alcohol and water, reduce the probability of thermal adhesion, improve the thermal stability of the composition, and avoid the problem of thermal agglomeration of the composition during the preparation process.
