As a convenient and controllable calorie nutritional alternative, meal replacement powders have been widely used in recent years in areas such as weight management, blood sugar regulation, and gut health.
[0003] Currently, commercially available meal replacement powders mainly rely on whey protein and soy protein isolate as protein sources, and adjust taste and energy density by adding fast-digesting carbohydrates such as maltodextrin and glucose syrup. To enhance satiety, some products introduce water-soluble dietary fibers such as inulin, polydextrose, or resistant dextrin; other products utilize oat beta-glucan or fructooligosaccharides to regulate blood lipids and gut microbiota.
[0004] However, existing technical solutions generally suffer from the prominent problem of high glycemic index (GI) of meal replacement powders. Therefore, it is crucial to provide a meal replacement powder with a lower glycemic index after consumption, and to overcome the technical bottlenecks of existing meal replacement products in terms of sugar control safety, nutritional integrity, and natural properties.

When preparing the meal replacement powder, the high-resistant starch high-sugar rice flour and the remaining raw materials were mixed evenly according to the specified weight proportions.
[0045] Test case To verify the glycemic index of meal replacement powders with different formulations, the total dietary fiber, β-glucan, protein, fat and resistant starch content and in vitro glycemic index (GI) of the meal replacement powders prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were measured. At the same time, the reconstitution solubility of different meal replacement powders and the overall preference were also evaluated by sensory evaluation.
[0046] Total dietary fiber content was tested according to the national standard GB 5009.88-2023, enzyme gravity method-liquid chromatography, and was commissioned to Titanium and Zhongpu Detection Technology (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd.
[0047] β-glucan content detection: The method for determining β-glucan content in cereals and their products was performed in accordance with NY / T 2006-201.
[0048] Detection of resistant starch content: The RS content was determined using the RS content assay kit provided by Megazyme (Megazyme, Co. Wicklow, Ireland), with a slight modification to the method. The specific steps were as follows: Accurately weigh 100 mg of sample and carefully place it into a screw-capped plastic test tube. Add α-pancreatic amylase reaction solution and amyloglucosidase (AGM) sequentially. Incubate at 37°C with shaking for 16 hours. Non-RS components are dissolved and hydrolyzed into D-glucose. After incubation, add 99% ethanol to terminate the reaction. Centrifuge the solution, discard the supernatant, and the remaining flocculent clump at the bottom is the RS in the sample. Wash the precipitate with 50% ethanol. Invert the centrifuge tube, dry the precipitate, and then rinse with 2 mol•L... -1 Potassium hydroxide was used to dissolve the precipitate, and AGM was added. The mixture was then incubated in a 650°C water bath for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Finally, the glucose content was determined using D-glucose with glucose oxidase / peroxidase (GOPOD) reagent, and the RS content was calculated.
[0049] Protein content detection: conducted according to GB5009.5-2025 method (National Food Safety Standard for Determination of Protein in Food).
[0050] Fat content testing: Performed in accordance with GB5009.6-2016 method (National Food Safety Standard for Determination of Fat in Food).
[0051] In vitro GI assay: The in vitro glycemic index (GI) is determined using an in vitro enzymatic digestion method that simulates the human digestive process, referring to the internationally accepted Englyst method. This method requires no human trials, is safe to operate, and has good reproducibility. It has been widely used for GI screening and formulation optimization of functional foods, and its results show a good correlation with in vivo GI values (R0). 2 >0.85).
[0052] The experimental steps are as follows: Weigh 200 mg of sample into a 50 mL centrifuge tube, add 5 glass beads and 20 mL of 0.2 mol / L acetate-sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.2), cool to room temperature, add 10 mL of porcine pancreatic α-amylase (290 U / mL) and saccharifying enzyme (15 U / mL), and place in a 37℃ water bath with shaking (150 r / min) and accurate timing. At 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, and 120 min, take 1 mL of the digestion solution, inactivate the enzymes in a boiling water bath for 5 min, and centrifuge at 4000 r / min for 5 min. Take 100 μL of the supernatant, and then determine the reducing sugar content in the digestion solution at 540 nm using the 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid method (DNS). Calculate the starch digestion hydrolysis rate (%). Plot the starch hydrolysis curve by taking the average value of three parallel experiments. A graph of starch digestion in vitro was plotted with sampling time (t) on the x-axis and starch digestion and hydrolysis rate (%) on the y-axis.
[0053] The formula for calculating the starch digestion hydrolysis rate (%) is as follows: Where Gt is the glucose content (mg) produced after digestion time t, and M is the total starch content (mg) of the sample. The starch hydrolysis curve was fitted using the first-order mechanical equation C=C∞(1-e-kt), and the area under the starch in vitro digestion curve (AUC) from 0 to 120 min was calculated. The starch hydrolysis hydrogenation index (HI) was then calculated, and the GI was obtained. The formulas for calculating RSD, SDS, and RS are as follows.
[0054] Starch hydrolysis rate (%) = Gt × 0.9M × 100 (1) HI=AUC 样品 / AUC 白面包 ×100 (2) GI = 0.862 × HI + 8.193 (3) In the formula: AUC sample is the area under the hydrolysis rate curve of starch in the sample; AUC white bread is the area under the hydrolysis rate curve of standard white bread.
[0055] Meal replacement powder reconstitution solubility: To evaluate the dispersibility of meal replacement powder in water, the following reconstitution solubility test was conducted. 25g of meal replacement powder was added to 200mL of 90℃ hot water, and the mixture was stirred rapidly with a stirring rod. The dissolution process was observed. The powder was able to disperse completely within 1 minute of stirring, and no obvious stratification was observed after standing for 10 minutes. The evaluation criteria are shown in Table 1.
[0056] Sensory evaluation: Ten people were randomly selected, and each person consumed 25g of meal replacement powder (25g of meal replacement powder was mixed with 200mL of 90°C warm water). Each sample was evaluated for appearance, aroma, taste, and aftertaste, and scored independently according to the above criteria. The rating standards are shown in Table 1. Scoring calculation: All evaluation forms were collected, and the average score for each sample across the four dimensions was calculated. Finally, the average scores across the four dimensions were summed to obtain the final sensory score for each sample. The specific results are shown in Table 2.
[0057] Table 1 Sensory Evaluation Criteria
[0058] The results in Table 2 show that, compared with Comparative Examples 1-3, the low glycemic index and high fiber meal replacement powders prepared by Examples 1-3 using high-resistant starch high-glycemic rice flour as raw material are more balanced in multiple nutritional indicators, with significantly increased protein and β-glucan content. In terms of overall preference score, Examples 1-3 scored significantly better than the comparative examples (7.2-8.5 points), showing better flavor and taste acceptance. It is worth noting that, according to the in vitro GI measurement results, although the comparative examples (with added oat bran) can also achieve a low eGI value, Examples 1-3, while maintaining the same excellent low GI characteristics (eGI value of about 50), successfully solved the technical problem of poor taste and better cutting and mixing properties of high-fiber products.
[0059] In summary, the meal replacement powder formula of Example 1 of this invention has the characteristics of high dietary fiber content (33.2g / 100g), low GI (GI=50.4), good taste, strong satiety, and good reconstitution properties, making it suitable for mass consumption. It is the optimal embodiment of this invention. Example 2, by increasing the source of plant-based protein and optimizing the nutritional structure, is suitable for fitness enthusiasts or muscle-building individuals with high protein requirements. This formula significantly increases protein content due to exogenous protein powder, making it non-natural. Dietary fiber content is slightly reduced, resulting in a slightly weaker satiety and blood sugar control effect, and the taste is not as natural as Example 1. The formula of Example 3, by optimizing the ingredient ratio, significantly reduces fat content while maintaining high dietary fiber content, making it suitable for people trying to lose weight and control oil intake. It has the highest dietary fiber content (35.1g / 100g) and the lowest fat content, making it suitable for people trying to lose weight. However, the taste is drier, palatability is worse, and protein content is lower.
[0060] Comparing the results of Comparative Examples 1-3, it was found that Comparative Example 3, due to the addition of oat bran, had a β-glucan content as high as 2.45 g / 100 g, while Comparative Examples 1 and 2 had extremely low β-glucan content (<0.2 g / 100 g), mainly derived from trace background levels in the raw materials. This indicates that the present invention successfully introduced a high concentration of functional dietary fiber. By introducing oat bran, the present invention utilizes its rich high-viscosity β-glucan to form a gel network structure in the gastrointestinal tract, physically encapsulating starch granules and inhibiting amylase diffusion, producing a synergistic effect with high-resistant starch-rich rice. This "dual blocking mechanism" enables the formulation examples 1-3 of the present invention to achieve a significant effect in reducing postprandial blood glucose peaks that cannot be achieved by existing technologies.
