Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mixed sugar compositions do not effectively address the issues of crystallization time and color stability, which are crucial for maintaining quality and reducing costs in the production and storage of tagatose.

Innovation Solution

A mixed sugar composition containing sorbose at specific ratios with tagatose, ranging from 0 to 0.9 parts by weight, is developed to enhance crystallization kinetics and maintain color value stability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If separate supplements are used for each nutrient deficiency, then specific nutritional needs can be met, but compliance becomes difficult and inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenutritional coverageVSAvoidcompliance

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple separate nutritional supplements into a single mixed saccharide composition that delivers multiple nutrients simultaneously. This merging approach maintains the ability to address specific nutritional deficiencies while simplifying the regimen to one supplement, thereby improving compliance without sacrificing nutritional coverage.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple separate supplements are taken, then comprehensive nutrition can be achieved, but the risk of adverse interactions increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenutritional coverageVSAvoidadverse interactions

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

By formulating a single mixed saccharide composition containing multiple nutrients, the patent eliminates the need for patients to take multiple separate supplements. This reduces the complexity of managing multiple medications and minimizes the risk of adverse interactions between different supplements, while still providing comprehensive nutritional coverage.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The use of saccharides as a carrier substance serves as an intermediary that safely delivers multiple nutrients in a coordinated manner. The saccharide matrix ensures proper delivery and absorption of each nutrient component while preventing harmful interactions between them.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If conventional supplements are used, then nutrient delivery is attempted, but taste and texture create barriers to compliance

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenutrient deliveryVSAvoidcompliance

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent fundamentally changes the physical and sensory parameters of the supplement by using saccharides to create a composition with improved taste and texture. This transforms the supplement from an unpalatable conventional form into a pleasant-tasting product that patients are more likely to take consistently, thereby maintaining nutrient delivery effectiveness while dramatically improving compliance.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes
