Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pet joint protection technology, specifically to a pet bone and joint protectant based on chondroitin LPM penetration. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing popularity of pet ownership and the growing attention people pay to pet health, pet skeletal health issues are receiving more and more attention. Pet arthritis is a chronic, systemic, inflammatory disease in pets such as dogs and cats, mainly involving the movable joints of the limbs. Clinical manifestations include swelling or lameness of the wrist, knee, and tarsal joints, edema, heat, and fluctuation of the soft tissues around the joints. The incidence rate increases with age, and the symptoms become more obvious.
[0003] Currently, there are various chondroitin supplements on the market for pet bone health. Most of them are mainly composed of minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, supplemented with absorption-promoting factors such as vitamin D. However, while these traditional solutions can enhance bone strength to a certain extent, they often neglect the importance of protecting joint cartilage, reducing inflammation, and promoting cartilage repair. Traditional chondroitin products use high-molecular-weight chondroitin sulfate, which is difficult to penetrate the cell membrane barrier. This results in low absorption and anti-inflammatory efficiency. In the acidic environment of the stomach, the collagen peptide molecular structure of traditional protectants is unstable, leading to a high loss rate. Furthermore, the synergistic effect of active ingredients lacks an effective carrier. Therefore, we provide a pet bone and joint protectant based on chondroitin LPM penetration to solve this problem. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a pet bone and joint protectant based on chondroitin LPM penetration, thereby solving this problem.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a pet bone and joint protectant based on chondroitin LPM penetration, comprising the following components: carrier, water, palatability-enhancing ingredient and functional ingredient, wherein the components of the material by weight percentage are as follows: carrier 1%-30%, water 3-4%, palatability-enhancing ingredient 1%-30%, and functional ingredient 1-30%.
[0006] As a further aspect of the present invention: the carrier is composed of dextrin and corn starch.
[0007] As a further aspect of the present invention: the palatability-enhancing ingredient is composed of meat products, meat product hydrolysate, and yeast extract.
[0008] As a further aspect of the present invention: the functional components are composed of a mixture of chondroitin sulfate, green-lipped mussel, krill, oyster, collagen, turmeric, frankincense, black pepper extract and hyaluronic acid.
[0009] As a further aspect of the present invention: the chondroitin sulfate is a small molecule chondroitin sulfate, which is produced by bio-enzymatic hydrolysis of large molecule chondroitin sulfate. The molecular weight of the small molecule chondroitin sulfate is <1000 Da, and the raw material for the small molecule chondroitin sulfate is selected from any one or more of shark, cow and chicken.
[0010] As a further aspect of the present invention, the paste is selected from supramolecular complex cyclodextrin inclusion complexes.
[0011] This invention also provides a method for preparing a pet osteoarthritis protectant based on chondroitin LPM penetration, comprising the following steps:
[0012] S1. Preparation: Prepare sufficient raw materials for carriers, palatability-enhancing ingredients, and some functional ingredients;
[0013] S2. Raw material preparation: High-purity collagen peptide powder (large molecular weight chondroitin sulfate) is extracted from any one or more of shark, cow and chicken, and then broken down into small molecular weight chondroitin sulfate through modern enzymatic hydrolysis, with a molecular weight <1000Da.
[0014] S3. Premix: The powdered yeast extract from the food-attracting substance and the small molecule chondroitin sulfate, collagen, turmeric, and black pepper extract from the functional ingredients are stirred and premixed to obtain the premix.
[0015] S4. Mixing: Add all the pretreated carriers, water, meat products and their hydrolysates from the attractant, and green-lipped mussels, krill, oysters, frankincense, and hyaluronic acid from the functional ingredients to the premix and stir until well mixed. The stirring speed is 300-500 rpm and the stirring time is 3-5 minutes.
[0016] S5. Drying and Discharging: After drying the semi-finished product obtained after mixing, cut it into equal portions and discharge it. The drying temperature is 75-90℃ and the time is 20-30 minutes.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a pet bone and joint protectant based on chondroitin LPM penetration, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] The protective agent of this invention utilizes enzymatic hydrolysis technology to break down macromolecular chondroitin sulfate (molecular weight > 3000 Da) into small molecule (LPM) chondroitin sulfate, of which > 90% have a molecular weight < 1000 Da. The efficacy of small molecule chondroitin sulfate far surpasses that of macromolecular chondroitin sulfate. Furthermore, the designed supramolecular complex cyclodextrin inclusion complex effectively alters the physicochemical properties of the active ingredient and increases the effective carrier for the synergistic effect of the active ingredient. The molecular weight combination of the designed small molecule (LPM) chondroitin sulfate and the supramolecular complex cyclodextrin inclusion complex enhances its efficiency in penetrating biological barriers, ensuring the stability of the composite structure within the pH range of 2-8 and maintaining gastric acid tolerance. This effectively improves the product's absorption rate, penetration rate, and activity rate, enhancing its efficacy, anti-inflammatory efficiency, and facilitating the repair of pet bone and joint cartilage and pain relief.

[0080] The pet osteoarthritis protectants prepared in Comparative Examples 1-2 above, based on traditional macromolecular chondroitin sulfate and ordinary dextrin, were tested on 12 dogs of similar physical condition and age for 8 weeks. The protectant samples prepared in Examples 1-2 were tested on 6 dogs in four groups of feeding experiments. The specific tests are shown in the table below:

[0090] A comparison of the test results from Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-2 shows that, compared to the use of conventional macromolecular chondroitin sulfate and ordinary dextrin in Comparative Examples 1-2, the protective agent designed in this product (Examples 1-5) resulted in a higher rate of symptom improvement in pets' bone and joint conditions within 0-8 weeks, with better efficacy. Furthermore, serum 1L-1β analysis revealed a more significant reduction in bone and joint inflammation in pets consuming this product. Additionally, the absorption rate and penetration rate of the LPM product were significantly higher after 1-5 days of consumption. Based on experiments on absorption rate and activity rate, the product showed significant improvements in absorption rate, penetration rate, and activity rate. Furthermore, the gastric acid resistance test results indicated that this protectant was more effective in resisting gastric acid after administration. This is due to the molecular weight combination between chondroitin sulfate (small molecule) and the supramolecular complex cyclodextrin inclusion complex, which effectively enhances gastric acid resistance, thereby increasing product penetration rate and activity rate, and improving absorption rate. Additionally, the pet bone and joint protectant samples prepared in Examples 1-5 showed a gradual decrease in adverse events and incidence during 0-6 weeks of feeding, indicating a decrease in incidence over time and demonstrating good applicability.
