Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an easy-to-swallow composition and foods and medicines containing specific carbohydrates, and more particularly, it can be safely swallowed by elderly people and persons with dysphagia, and can be left at room temperature for a long time. The present invention also relates to a non-cariogenic easy swallowing composition excellent in swallowing suitability, and a food and a medicine using the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As the population of the elderly increases, the population of dysphagia people who have difficulty in swallowing food tends to increase. In addition, dysphagia often accompanies cerebrovascular disorders and tumors. For people with dysphagia, dry food like water is easy to aspirate (accidentally having food in the trachea), which often causes aspiration pneumonia. On the other hand, sticky foods can be stuck in the throat and risk choking. Due to such fears, dysphagic persons are apt to refuse to eat and to fall into low water and low nutrition. Therefore, for people with severe dysphagia, water and nutrition are supplied by tube feeding through the nose and the like. However,
It is not an exaggeration to say that this situation has significantly reduced the dignity of dysphagic persons such as the elderly as humans.
In recent years, the movement to improve the quality of life (QOL) of people with dysphagia has been increasing in society, and it is possible to enjoy oral eating, to enjoy eating, and to improve the eating function. There is a need for foods that can be processed.

[0003]

As foods suitable for swallowing, (1) having moderate hardness which is easy to chew;
(2) excellent bolus formation (easiness of uniting food in the mouth); and (3) low adhesion to the throat. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, hospitals and the like have been using agar, fruit jelly hardened with gelatin, pudding, and the like to supply water and nutrition. However, in agar, the bolus formation was poor and it did not melt at body temperature, and in some cases, it became clogged in the throat. For gelatin, the above (1)-
Although the swallowability described in (3) is excellent, it is melted at room temperature, and may be aspirated when it becomes a liquid.
Therefore, when gelatinized using gelatin, there is a problem that temperature control after gel setting is extremely difficult. On the other hand, sucrose, isomerized sugar and the like are conventionally used as sweeteners in fruit jelly and pudding, and these sugars are metabolized by bacteria in dental plaque attached to the tooth surface, and lactic acid and the like. It becomes an organic acid and lowers the pH of plaque. For this reason, the demineralizing action of the teeth is likely to occur, which causes caries. In particular, in the case of a dysphagic person, food is more likely to stay in the oral cavity for a longer time than in a healthy person, and is in an oral state in which caries are more likely to be generated. For this reason, sepsis and bacterial pericarditis may occur in not only tooth decay but also elderly people whose protective function has deteriorated, and death may occur.

[0004] By the way, the following are known as a swallowing aid, a non-cariogenic composition, a food for easy swallowing, or a drug for easy swallowing. JP-A-6-70704 discloses a sugar-free gummy jelly. It is a gummy jelly using gelatin and a sugar alcohol such as maltitol, xylitol, and ersultol as a sweetener, but the gel strength of the gummy jelly is so strong that the swallowability is extremely poor. In JP-A-7-274915, as a jelly drink in a flexible container, basically, a normal jelly is placed in a flexible container, the swallowability is insufficient, the water separation is large, and the bolus forming property is high. Is also extremely bad. JP-A-8-9901 discloses a long-term edible gelatin gel prepared by adding gelatin and an acid to a sugar alcohol, but mainly relates to sugarless gummy candy, Not suitable for people with disabilities. JP 9
The jelly-like oral pharmaceutical composition disclosed in JP-A-194346 is a composition based on carrageenan, locust bean gum, and polyacrylic acid. Although water separation of the gel is suppressed by polyacrylic acid, bolus formation It has poor properties, such as poor gelability, changes in gel hardness in the presence of calcium and potassium, and limits the foods used. JP-A-10-108633 discloses an auxiliary agent which is added directly to a liquid food to give an appropriate viscosity to the food, and guar gum,
Disclosed are those comprising xanthan gum and dextrin. However, the composition described here is basically liquid and has the above-mentioned swallowability (1) to (3).
Is inadequate. JP-A-10-117704 discloses that
It is a low-cariogenic, low-calorie jelly that is characterized by containing maltitol, erthritol, and a high-intensity sweetener, but does not sufficiently consider swallowability. As described above, the swallowing suitability (1)
Non-cariogenic products excellent in (3) and excellent in shape retention even at room temperature have not yet been realized.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and is capable of safely swallowing elderly people and persons with dysphagia, and has excellent swallowing suitability and excellent non-cariogenicity even when left at room temperature for a long time. An object of the present invention is to provide a sex swallowing composition, a food composition using the same, and a pharmaceutical composition.

[0006]

Further, the non-cariogenic swallowing composition of the present invention comprises:
It is preferable that the value of the adhesiveness of the gel during eating measured by the following measuring method is 100 gs or less. In the method for measuring adhesiveness according to the present invention, a gel is prepared by completely dissolving a non-cariogenic swallowing composition in deionized water, and the gel is placed in a plastic container having a diameter of 6.0 mm and a height of 35 mm. Insert so that the length is 14 mm. Then, Sta
Using a texture analyzer (TA-XT2) manufactured by bleMicro Systems, the gel was placed in the plastic container, and the diameter was 25 mm and the length was 25 m.
A collagen membrane (product name: Collagen Casing 270) manufactured by Nippi Co., Ltd., which was sufficiently washed with deionized water, was attached to a plunger made of aluminum cylinder having a diameter of 0.5 m. To raise. Then, in a chart drawn when the plunger is raised (vertical axis; load (g), horizontal axis; time (s)), the area of the portion surrounded by the curve and horizontal axis when the load is 0 or less is obtained. The value is defined as adhesion (unit: gs). FIG. 1 shows an example of a chart drawn at the time of measuring the adhesiveness, and the value of the area indicated by the hatched portion in the figure is the adhesiveness (gs).
Represents The concentration of the non-cariogenic swallowing composition in the gel provided for adhesion may be any concentration provided for eating. According to this method, the adhesion between a membrane composed of collagen, which is a main protein constituting human skin, and a gel containing a non-cariogenic swallowing composition is measured. When the gel containing the swallowing composition is swallowed, it serves as an index indicating the adhesion to the throat. If this value is 100 gs or less, it can be evaluated as a non-cariogenic easy-swallowing composition that has relatively low adhesion to the throat and is easy to swallow.
