The plant sterol raw material
Particulate plant sterol compositions is normally from the plant sterol feedstock production, for example, and as the description in the following method.The plant sterol raw material can contain above-mentioned one or more plant sterol chemical compounds.For example, the plant sterol raw material can any relative scale (for example, 1: 1,2: 1,3: 1,4: 1,5: 1,6: 1,7: 1,8: 1,9: 1 or 10: 1) contain various plants sterol compound (for example, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,20 or more).
The plant sterol raw material can be from many plant origins, for example, Testa oryzae oil, corn fiber oil, Fructus Maydis oil, Semen Tritici aestivi germ oil, safflower oil, avenol, olive oil, Oleum Gossypii semen, soybean oil, Oleum Arachidis hypogaeae semen, Canola oil, tea, Oleum sesami, Oleum Vitis viniferae, rapeseed oil, Semen Lini oil, tall oil and available from other oils and various other Semen Brassicae Campestris crop of wood pulp.Though plant sterol usually from plant, also can prepare plant sterol by for example synthetic method, so just do not need to obtain from plant origin.In addition, it is the mixture of purified or synthetic each plant sterol chemical compound that the plant sterol raw material can be made into, and perhaps can be the side-product that obtains by purification other products (for example, from plant origin).For example, the plant sterol raw material can be used as the side-product acquisition of making vitamin E and/or tocopherol from vegetable oil deodorizer distillate (deodorizer distillate).
According to the application, the plant sterol raw material can contain or not contain other composition.For example, certain plants sterol raw material can contain vitamin E and/or one or more tocopherols, for example when raw material is the side-product acquisition of conduct manufacturing vitamin E.In some examples, the plant sterol raw material of about 88%-100% (for example, 88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98 or 99%) is made of one or more plant sterol chemical compounds.For example, in one embodiment, the plant sterol raw material is by cupreol, campesterol and the stigmasterol of about 85-90 weight % (for example, about 85,86,87,88,89 or 90 weight %) constitute at the most.In other example, the plant sterol raw material can be made of the mixture of cupreol, campesterol, stigmasterol, brassicasterol, campestanol, β-sitostamol and Δ-5-avenasterol of about 88-100 weight % (for example, about 88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99 or 100 weight %) at the most.In some example, the plant sterol raw material can be made of the mixture of cupreol, campesterol, stigmasterol, brassicasterol, campestanol, β-sitostamol and Δ-5-avenasterol of about 89-91 weight %.
In some applications, the plant sterol raw material does not contain emulsifying agent (for example, lecithin, list-and/or two-glyceride, Isosorbide Dinitrate (soribitan ester), sucrose ester).Bound by theory not, we think that adding these becomes branches to bring undesirable attribute of sensation (for example, with regard to color, taste or mouthfeel) to compositions.
In other is used, contain one or more following compositions in the plant sterol raw material: flowable (for example, sodium aluminosilicate, potassium ferrocyanide); Coloring agent (for example, beta-carotene); Vitamin or mineral (for example, vitamin A, C, D, E and K and vitamin B group; With mineral Ca, Fe, Mg, Zn, K and Se); Cellulose (solubility and insoluble fibre; For example, Fructus Hordei Vulgaris beta fibers, Herba bromi japonici beta fibers, mannan, galactomannan, Semen Tritici aestivi, Herba bromi japonici, corn and Fructus Hordei Vulgaris bran); Protein (for example, aminoacid, soybean protein, milk or egg protein); Or nourishing additive agent (for example, bilobalide (gingko biloba), Radix Ginseng, chrondroitin, glycosamine, Echinacea (Echinacea), chromium picolinate (chromium picolinate), folic acid, soybean isoflavone, tangeritin, sabal, sterol glycoside and flavanolignan (flavolignan)).
The plant sterol raw material can be any form, for example lozenge, the rough solid of wax sample or powder.For example, the plant sterol raw material can obtain from impure tocopherol-sterol mixture by crystallization, with this mixture drying, melt and make the lozenge of the about 1-4mm of diameter (for example, 1,2,3 or 4mm).Plant sterol chemical compound and plant sterol raw material are (for example, sterol lozenge) can be available from for example Cargill, Incorporated (Minneapolis, Minn.), Loders andCroklaan (Channahon, Ill.), Cognis Nutrition and Health (La Grange, Ill.), ForbesMeditech (Vancouver, B.C.Canada) and ADM (Decatur, Ill.).In addition, plant sterol chemical compound and raw material also can synthesize and/or obtain (for example, as United States Patent (USP) 6,411,206 from plant origin; 5,502,045; 6,087,353 and 4,897,224 description).
The particle size distribution characteristic of particulate plant sterol compositions
Here the particulate plant sterol compositions that provides can be described by its PSD feature.The PSD feature can be used particle size analyzer, this apparatus measures Mie-scattered light and Fraunhofer-scattered light, for example Horiba LA-910 type Particle Size Analyzer.Particulate plant sterol compositions demonstrates specific volume weighting or quality weighting PSD feature and specific surface area weighting PSD feature usually.Without being limited by theory, we think that the compositions (for example, food, beverage or Aquo-composition) that described PSD feature that this particulate plant sterol compositions demonstrates can not make them be dispersed in wherein has Chalk, grit, powdery, greasy or other unwanted attribute of sensation (promptly with regard to mouthfeel, taste and color).
For example, phytosterol compositions can demonstrate particulate multimodal volume weighting of one or more plant sterols or quality weighting particle size distribution (PSD).Term " multimodal " is meant that in the text PSD has shown the distribution with at least two kinds of different models or peak maximum.In the certain situation, multimodal PSD can be bimodal.
For example, volume weighting or quality weighting PSD can show, the diameter at first peak of plant sterol granule is less than 2 microns, and the volume weighting mean diameter is about 5 microns or littler (for example, about 3-5 micron, or about 0.3,0.35,0.4,0.45 or 0.5 micron).Wait with term " first ", " second ", " the 3rd " in the literary composition and describe the PSD peak and do not represent the outward appearance at these peaks or the time dependence of measurement, also do not represent the size at these peaks.Diameter is called as " narrow " peak here less than the particulate PSD of 2 microns plant sterol peak.First peak among volume weighting or the quality weighting PSD can account for about 15%-35% or any value between this (for example, about 16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33 or 34%) of total volume weighting or quality weighting PSD.Particulate plant sterol compositions can show that the diameter at second peak of plant sterol granule of volume weighting or quality weighting multimodal PSD is the 2-35 micron.The volume weighting mean diameter at second peak can be about the 8-12 micron, or the arbitrary value between this (for example, about 8.5,9,9.5,10,10.5,11 or 11.5 microns).Second peak can account for about 65%-85% or the arbitrary value between this (for example, about 66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83 or 84%) of total volume weighting or quality weighting PSD.In addition, among volume weighting or the quality weighting PSD, diameter accounts for total volume weighting or quality weighting PSD greater than all plant sterol granules of 35 microns percentage by volume is less than about 3%, for example, and less than about 2.5%, 2%, 1.5%, 1% or 0.5%.
Particulate plant sterol compositions described herein also demonstrates multimodal surface area weighting PSD.Multimodal surface area weighting PSD can be bimodal.Surface area weighting PSD can show, the diameter at first peak of plant sterol granule is less than 2 microns, for example, and " narrow " peak.Diameter less than first peak of plant sterol granule of 2 microns (for example, " narrow " peak) surface area weighted average particle diameter can be about the 0.3-0.5 micron, for example, about 0.3,0.35,0.4,0.45 or 0.5 micron.First peak of plant sterol granule can account for about 78%-92% of surface area weighting PSD.Multimodal surface area weighting PSD can show that the diameter at second peak of plant sterol granule is the 2-35 micron, and surface area weighted average particle diameter is about 8-12 micron (for example, about 8.5,9,9.5,10,10.5,11 or 11.5 microns).
Total specific surface area of PSD also can be to estimate the useful parameter of particulate plant sterol compositions.In compositions of the present invention, total specific surface area of multimodal surface area weighting PSD can be greater than about 2m 2/ g, for example, about 2.5-7m 2/ g, or about 2.8-6.5m 2/ g.
Other physical features of particulate plant sterol compositions
Particulate plant sterol compositions can be a various forms, for example solid or liquid.For example, particulate plant sterol compositions can for example present powder type immediately or be used for being dispersed in subsequently water-bearing media after the preparation.Perhaps, particulate plant sterol compositions can be wherein to be dispersed with the particulate Aquo-composition of plant sterol.Aquo-composition can be the Foods or drinks compositions that contains water.For example, particulate plant sterol compositions can be dispersed in the beverage, described beverage such as juice are (for example, Fructus Citri tangerinae, Fructus Vitis viniferae, cranberry, Fructus Mali pumilae, Fructus actinidiae chinensis, Fructus Mangifera Indicae, peach, Fructus Ananadis comosi, Lee, Fructus Pruni pseudocerasi, Fructus Musae, luxuriant Punica granatum L., Fructus Chaenomelis, grapefruit, Fructus Citri grandis (natsudaidai), tangerine, clementine, mandarin orange, black currant, Citrullus vulgaris, Fructus Melo, the rib melon, Fructus Citri Limoniae, Citrus aurantium Linn., pears, blue berry, blackberry, the juice of fruit such as Fructus Rubi or Fructus Fragariae Ananssae, or Fructus Lycopersici esculenti, Radix Dauci Sativae, Herba Apii graveolentis, Fructus Cucumidis sativi, Herba Spinaciae, Caulis et Folium Lactucae sativae, Herba Oenanthes Javanicae, tender shoots, Radix Betae, medical herbs, the juice of Caulis et Folium Brassicae capitatae or wheat straw vegetables such as (wheat grass), or mixed juice), concentrated juice, coffee, tea, silkscreen is inhaled, the snow gram, bean milk, Rice ﹠ peanut milk, iced drink, beverage containing milk (for example, whole milk, 1% milk, 2% milk, heavy butter, half and half butter (half and half), whipped cream or light butter (light cream)), for the food and drink material, weight-reducing drinks or nutritional supplementation beverage.Particulate plant sterol compositions can be impregnated in food compositions, for example, powder (for example, light flour, wheat flour, rye meal, Semen sojae atricolor powder or rice flour), bakery (for example, bread, doughnut, bagel, muffin, scone), confection, ice cream, preserve, egg liquid, liquid egg replacer product, ice cream, yoghourt, healthy complementary goods, for canteen product or nutriment.In some solid food compositions, particulate plant sterol compositions can at first be dispersed in liquid such as the Aquo-composition, then it is mixed solid food compositions (for example, bread).Perhaps, phytosterol compositions can mix with other solid and/or powdered food product compositions (for example, powder).
Make the method for particulate plant sterol compositions
Above-mentioned particulate plant sterol compositions can and/or pulverize the formula grinding technique or jet grinding or eddy milling technology are made with impact type.Described technology can be carried out once, does not promptly need the material after grinding is carried out size fractionation and reclaims the material regrinding that does not conform to size requirements.
In one approach, earlier with the cooling of above-mentioned plant sterol raw material and then impact type or pulverize formula and grind.For example, the plant sterol raw material can be cooled to pact-100  to-275 , or about-175 to-250 .In certain embodiments, the plant sterol raw material is cooled to-225  approximately.The plant sterol raw material can be used cooled with liquid nitrogen, therefore will grind in noble gas (nitrogen).We think, by pre-cooled plant sterol raw material plant sterol are become fragile and be easy to grind.As indicated above, can be when having one or more following materials impact type or pulverize formula and grind pre-cooled plant sterol raw material: flowable, coloring agent, flavorant, vitamin, mineral, fibrous raw material, protein or nourishing additive agent.Can be in noble gas such as nitrogen impact type or pulverize formula and grind pre-cooled plant sterol raw material.
Impact type or pulverize formula and grind available gap mill and carry out.Gap mill generally includes a plurality of stators that center on the flat blade of bell-shaped rotor arrangement and conical rib is arranged accordingly.Particle size reduction is partly realized by usefulness rotor and stator peening particle, but mainly is by granule-granule collision.Gap between rotor-stator is about 0.025 " 0.05 " usually.For example, in certain embodiments, the gap between rotor-stator is about 0.03 ".Rotor speed is adjustable, so that on average hold speed to be about 110m/s-150m/s.In certain embodiments, on average hold speed to be about 120-135m/s.Gap mill can be available from MicrotecMicrotec (for example, Microtec-Microtec gap mill), Bauermeister (for example, Bauermeister ASIMA grinder), Netzsch and Hosokawa-Bepex.
Impact type and/or pulverize the formula grinding technique and do not need product is passed through classifying screen.In certain embodiments, the impact type of for example carrying out with gap mill or pulverize formula and grind and only carry out once.Reducing granularity afterwards can be from for example drawing off particulate plant sterol compositions the gap mill, and its temperature is about-25 to-275  (for example, temperature is about-40 to-75 , or temperature is about-40 to-50 ).In some embodiments, the temperature of the compositions that draws off is about-75 .
In other method of making particulate plant sterol compositions, the plant sterol raw material grinds in injecting type or spiral vortex type grinding machine.In these grinding machines, the driving force of pulverizing is from the high volume flow of gases at high pressure or other gas, nitrogen for example, so it will be to grind to produce inert environments.Grind mainly by granule-granule collision, the heat that produces in this process absorbs by the gas cooled of gas when for example the 5-6 crust expand into atmospheric pressure, and by high gas flow it is taken away.According to the design of grinding chamber and vortex, the granule that produces during the fine grinding raw material-granule active force just can occur when reaching minimum particle size.Hametag mill can be available from SuperFine Ltd., INOX Ltd. and Netzsch, perhaps can be as United States Patent (USP) 5,855, and 326 description.
In the method, the inlet pressure of spiral vortex type or injector-type mill is about the 5-6 crust.Grinding can be carried out in room temperature, for example about 60-80 .The outlet temperature of spiral vortex type or injector-type mill is less than about 100 .As indicated above, available spiral vortex type or injector-type mill grind once, and be as indicated above, can carry out when having one or more following materials: flowable, coloring agent, flavorant, vitamin, mineral, fibrous raw material, protein or nourishing additive agent.Spiral vortex type or injecting type grind and can carry out in noble gas.
Because without being limited by theory, we think, compare other and adopt the plant sterol raw material of fusing and/or make raw material contact temperature be about the method for the air of 300-400 , impact type described here/pulverize formula or the spiral vortex type Ginding process is less to the oxidative degradation damage of plant sterol in the plant sterol raw material.
The present invention also provides the method for making the aqueous dispersion of particulate plant sterol compositions.In the method, particulate plant sterol compositions is mixed with hydrous material.Particulate plant sterol compositions demonstrates the multimodal volume/mass weighted sum surface area weighting PSD of afore mentioned rules.In the certain situation, but short time (for example, 1 second to 1 minute) mild heat (for example, 90-212 ) dispersion or it is carried out homogenizing.See for example U.S. Patent Publication No.2003/0232118A1.
In another embodiment, the invention provides the method for the dispersion of making particulate plant sterol compositions.In the method, with particulate plant sterol compositions with the pulp homogenizing.Pulp can be the pulp of any kind, comprising but be not limited to fruits and vegetables slurry, as mandarin orange pulp (for example, Fructus Citri tangerinae, Citrus aurantium Linn., Fructus Citri Limoniae and grapefruit pulp); The Fructus Mali pumilae pulp; The pear pulp; The Fructus Pruni salicinae pulp; The Fructus Persicae pulp; The Fructus Pruni pseudocerasi pulp; The Fructus Mangifera Indicae pulp; Luxuriant Punica granatum L. pulp; The Fructus Chaenomelis pulp; With the mixing berry syrup.Pulp can contain the 2-8% pectin of having an appointment, or arbitrary value therebetween (for example, about 2,3,4,5,6,7 or 8%).In the certain situation, can use the pulp that contains 5% pectin of having an appointment.Can add water in the homogenizing process to help the liquefaction pulp.If make water, then the ratio of water and pulp can be about 1: 1-4: 1, or the arbitrary value between this (for example, about 1.5: 1,2: 1,2.5: 1,3: 1 or 3.5: 1).In the certain situation, the ratio of water and pulp is 3: 1.Before the homogenizing; the plant sterol granule can account for about 1%-10% of water/pulp/plant sterol granulate mixture gross weight; or the arbitrary value between this (for example, about 1.2,1.5,1.8,2,2.2,2.5,2.8,3,3.2,3.5,3.8,4,4.2,4.5,4.8,5,5.2,5.5,5.8,6,6.2., 6.5,6.8,7,7.2,7.5,7.8,8,8.2,8.5,8.8,9,9.2,9.5 or 9.8 weight %).In the certain situation, particulate plant sterol compositions can account for about 2-3 weight %.
In this method, pulp, water and particulate plant sterol compositions can be mixed before the homogenizing.For example, available benchtop blender utilize high shear force (for example about 10,000rpm) pulp, water and particulate plant sterol compositions are pre-mixed.Premixing can be carried out for example about 1-10 minute or about 5 minutes, was well dispersed in pulp/aqueous mixtures up to particulate plant sterol compositions.Pulp/water/plant sterol granulate mixture then can be by homogenizing.Pulp/water/plant sterol granulate mixture can divide a stage or a plurality of stage to carry out homogenizing.For example, pulp/water/plant sterol granulate mixture can be in two stages homogenizing.In the certain situation, pulp/water/plant sterol granulate mixture is at phase I homogenizing under about 3000-5000 pound/square inch (psi), then at second stage homogenizing under about 300-800psi.Under the certain situation, pulp/water/plant sterol granulate mixture is at phase I homogenizing under 4500psi, at second stage homogenizing under 500psi.Also but homogenizing repeatedly.Through the pure pulp of per 10 grams of the pulp/water/plant sterol granulate mixture of homogenizing (for example; the water that does not comprise adding; weight in wet base) contains have an appointment 0.5-1.5 gram or this arbitrary value (for example, about 0.6,0.7,0.8,0.9,1.0,1.1,1.2,1.3 or 1.4 grams) plant sterol granule wherein.
After the homogenizing, the pulp/water/particulate plant sterol compositions mixture of process homogenizing can be added into the Foods or drinks compositions, as mentioned above.In other cases, the pulp/water/plant sterol granulate mixture of process homogenizing can be added into water-bearing media (as mentioned above), and mixes to obtain the particulate aqueous dispersion of plant sterol.In the certain situation, water-bearing media can be a juice, as the juice of single concentration, as Fructus Citri tangerinae fruit juice or cranberry fruit juice.Under other situation, water-bearing media can comprise pulp/water/plant sterol granulate mixture and the fruit or the vegetable condensed juice of water, process homogenizing.Every part of (normally 6-12 ounce) aqueous dispersion can contain the 0.3g-1.8g that has an appointment (or between arbitrary value, for example about 0.4,0.5,0.6,0.7,0.8,0.9,1.0,1.1,1.2,1.3,1.4,1.5,1.6 or 1.7) the plant sterol granule.
Without being limited by theory, we think and consequently make the particulate plant sterol compositions of homogenizing have good dispersibility, viscosity and stability by effectively homogenizing particulate plant sterol compositions of some components of pulp or pulp such as pectin or terpenoid.In addition, when mixing water-bearing media, resulting composition has good mouthfeel and sensory features and (for example, does not have Chalk, greasy, grit or puckery sensation; And there is not or has only slight haloing (ringing), separate or occur white particle (" floating thing ")).
