Abstract

A sweetening composition for use in the rearing of farm animals, comprises a major proportion of at least one high intensity sweetener and a minor proportion of thaumatin, the ratio of high intensity sweetener to thaumatin being over 20:1 and such that when used to provide a palatable degree of sweetness in drinking water, the sweetened water will contain no more than 5 ppm of thaumatin, the high intensity sweetener providing substantially all the sweetness. The high intensity sweetener is preferably selected from saccharin, acesulpham-K, stevioside, sodium cyclamate, dihydrochalcones and sucralose. Use of the sweetened drinking water for animals increases their food conversion ratio.

Description

SPECIFICATION Sweetening compositions This invention relates to novel sweetening compositions and to their useto sweeten waterforconsumption by animals. The invention also relates to a method of rearing farm animals by providing them with drinking water sweetened by addition of the novel sweetening compositions.
Water is an important constituent in the diet offarm animals such as pigs, sheep, cattle and poultry. If the animals do not drink enough waterthey tend to eat less, grow more slowly and converttheirfeed less efficiently.
Sufficientwater intake is particularly importantforthe development of young animals, especially during the weaning period when they obtain progressively less oftheirwater and nutrients from their mother's milk and need to increase their intake of drinking water. Thus, on average, suckler pigs require 0.27 litres ofwater per day, mostly from sow's milk, and piglets up to 15 keg require 1.2 litres of water per day, mostlyfrom drinking water (Source: Agricultural Research Council, Nutrient Requirement of Pigs, et al., (1971-1982).
Young farm animals are generally reported to have a keen sense of taste. Thus Engelmann (Vom geschmackssin des Huhns, Forschungen und Fortschritte 13,425-426, 1937) reported that solutions of sucrose, fructose and maltrose were clearly preferred by chickens over water; glycerine was moderately preferred and saccharin least preferred. Following this up, Jacobs and Scott (Poultry Science, 36,8-15, 1957)found that six-week old chickens could discriminate among sucrose solutions, saccharin solutions and water, preferring sucrose and avoiding saccharin.Randall and Church (Proceedings, Western Section, American Society of Animal Science 384 1 973) found that alfalfa-fed lambs and calves showed a strong preference for 5% sucrose solution overtap water. Kare, Pond and Campbell (Animal Behaviour 13(2-3), 265-9,1965) found that domestic pigs showed a substantial preference for sucrose solution over water but only marginal preferences for glucose and lactose solutions. There were considerable individual variations in the response to saccharin solutions including aversion by some animals.
The recognition that young animals enjoy sweetened feeds has been commercially exploited by the addition of sweeteners to piglet feeds. If sugars, such as sucrose, are used for this purpose the anima Is tend to consume an excessive amount of carbohydrate and sometimes this has caused digestive upsets and diarrhoea. Therefore, the artificial sweetener saccharine has been used to sweeten piglet feeds. However, the use of saccharin is limited by its aftertastewhich causes aversion, particularly when it is used at concentrations necessary to provide an optimum level of sweetness, and an attempt has been made to develop a more palatable formulation of saccharin, for example by adding cane sugar and vanilla flavouring ("Flavodan SW-1000" instant sweetener and flavouring agent, marketed by Grindsted Products Limited, Bury St.
Edmunds, Suffolk).
More recently we have reported that use ofthaumatin to sweeten piglet drinking water enhances the consumption of water ("A report on trials describing the effect on piglet performances ofthe addition of TALON to drinking water", Tate & Lyle Speciality Sweeteners, January 1986). In these trials thaumatin was used as the sole sweetener at a concentration of 12.5 ppm (parts per million) which in human taste panel tests has a sweetness equivalent to about 2% sucrose.
We have now found that the use of certain novel sweetening compositions comprising thaumatin and a high intensity sweetener such as saccharin to sweeten the drinking water can have a highly beneficial effect upon the growth of young animals. These novel sweetening compositions comprise a major amount of at least one high intensity sweetener to provide substantially all of the sweetness, and a minor amount of thaumatin which appears to enhance the palatability of the sweetener without contributing any sweetness itself. When saccharin is used as the high intensity sweetener, the ratio of saccharin to thaumatin in these novel compositions is from 50:1 to 500:1 by weight, preferably from 100:1 to 200:1 by weight. Other suitable high intensity sweeteners include acesulfame-K, stevioside, sodium cyclamate, dihydrochalcones and sucralose.The compositions may also contain a solid or liquid carrier such as maltodextrin, glycerol or propylene glycol,water, preservatives and colourants. Optionally a small amount of sugar, such as dextrose, may be included to improve the mouthfeel of the sweetened water.
Generally, animal drinking water sweetened by addition of the sweetening compositions of the present invention will contain from 0.2to 5 ppm thaumatin (depending on the high intensity sweetener),substantially all of the sweetness being provided by the high intensity sweetener. Thaumatin has a sweetness threshold (i.e. sweetness barely detectable) in water of about 5 ppm in human taste panel tests.
Thus, according to the present invention there are provided sweetening compositions for use in the rearing of farm animals comprising a major proportion of at least one high intensity sweetener such as saccharin, acesulfame-K, stevioside, sodium cyclamate, dihydrochalcones, sucralose, and a minor proportion of thaumatin, the ratio of high intensity sweetenerto thaumatin by weight being such that over 20:1 and when used to provide a palatable degree of sweetness in drinking water, the sweetened water will contain no more than 5ppm ofthaumatin, the high intensity sweetener providing substantially all of the sweetness.
Sweetening compositions comprising thaumatin and saccharin orthaumatin and cyclamate are described in our British Patent Specification No 1,523,931 (US Patent No 4,122,205) but these sweetening compositions always contain at least one taste modifier and the ratios of saccharin to thaumatin or cyclamate tothaumatin are such thatthaumatin always provides a significant proportion, usually about half, of the sweetness.
Sweetening compositions in the form of tablets comprising saccharin and thaumatin (8: 1 by weight) are described in our British PatentSpecification No 2,041,209A but again thaumatin provides a substantial proportion of the sweetness.
In such sweetening composition the unpleasant bitter aftertaste of saccharin is minimised by the lingering sweetness ofthaumatin. However, at saccharin:thaumatin ratios of about 20:1 the reduction of aftertaste is lessthan is generally required, and a ratio of 10:1 is particularly advantageous. With regard to sweetness, when a composition containing saccharin and thaumatin is dissolved in water the apparent sweetness ofthe solution is actually less than would be expected if the sweetness contributions of the two sweeteners were additive. This loss of sweetness is minimised when about half of the sweetness is contributed by each ofthe two sweeteners.
Sweetened,flavoured oral compositions such as mouthwash, toothpaste and chewing gum containing saccharin and thaumatin in ratios ranging from 100:1 to 10:1 by weight are disclosed in our British Patent Specification No. 1,604,218 (U.S. Patent Specification No.4,412,984). These compositions always contain flavourings and the thaumatin acts as a flavour enhancer. UK PatentApplication 211 6820A of Cumberland Packing showsthat mixtures of acesulpham-K and thaumatin, e.g. 10:1 by weight, where both compounds are present as sweeteners, need cream oftartar as a sweetness potentiator.
However it is clearly shown in the prior artthataithough thaumatin enhances flavours it can actually reduce the expected sweetness of other sweeteners (see G B 1523931 or US 4122205.
However, it has now been found that the use ofthe sweetening compositions according to the present invention to sweeten drinking watertendsto increase consumption of the drinking water by young animals and causes them to gain weight much more rapidly than animals supplied with unsweetened water orwith waterthat has been sweetened with a high intensity sweetener such as saccharin in the absence ofthaumatin. This improvement in weight gain is due to an increased consumption of feed as well as of water and an enhanced feed conversion ratio (FCR, feed consumed divided by weight gain). Exactly what effect the presence ofthe thaumatin has on the sweetened water, as perceived by the animals, is impossible to determine.
Nevertheless the effect is marked, in thatthe uptake is significantly increased.
Thus in a further embodiment of the present invention there is provided a method of sweetening animal drinking water by the addition of a sweetening composition comprising a major proportion of at least one high intensity sweetener such as saccharin, acesulfame-K, stevioside, cyclamate, dihydrochalcones, and sucralose and a minor proportion ofthaumatin, the high intensity sweetener or sweeteners providing sub stantially all of the sweetness. The invention also includes a method of rearing animals by sweetening their water with a sweetening composition according to the invention.
In general, the compositions are used to provide a degree of sweetness in the water which is sufficiently patentable to the animals to encourage drinking and, hence, weight gain. The level of sweetness can only be estimated by human taste panels and on this basis, the minimum sweetness level of use is equivalentto about 2% sucrose. A practical maximum is equivalent to about 10% sucrose, and certainly there is no additional benefit two offset increased cost over an equivalent of 15% sucrose. The amount ofthaumatin needed in the water tends to vary with the high intensity sweetener used. Typical figures are about 3 to 5 ppm for stevioside, 2 to 4 ppm for acesulfam-K, 0.5 to 1 ppm for saccharin, and 0.2 to 1 ppm forsucralose.
The ratio by weight of high intensity sweetener to thaumatin is advantageously from 50:1 to 500:1, prefer- ably about 100:1 to about 200:1, for saccharin; from about 30:1 to about300:1, preferably about 55:1 to about 75:1 forstevioside; and about 200:1 for sucralose.
Mixtures of sweeteners can, of course, be used as the high intensity sweetener; for example saccharin and cyclamate, e.g. at a ratio by weight of about 1:10.
In the case of saccharin/cyclamate (about 1:10), the weight ratio ofsweetenerto thaumatin isdesirably about600:1 toabout800:1.
The invention is fu rther iliustrated by the following non-limiting examples.
Example I Over a period of three days, Large White Land race weaner piglets, 24 days old, were supplied with unsweetened water or with water sweetened with sodium saccharin + thaumatin (200:1), sodium saccharin, or Flavodan SW-1000 (comprising saccharin, cane sugar and vanilla; Grindsted Products Limited, Bury St.
Edmunds, Suffolk, England),to give a sweetness equivalentto about 5% sucrose. Afterthis, all piglets were supplied with plain, unsweetened water for a further four days. Throughoutthe seven days of each trial, Feedex "Superstarter 230" (Feedex Q Feeds Ltd, Daisy Hill, Birthwick, Hull, UK) piglet feed was provided in sufficient amounts two enable the piglets two eat as much as they wanted to. Initial and final pigletweights and quantities of feed and water consumed were measured. Two groups of 36-40 piglets were used for each trial, one being supplied with sweetened and the other witch unsweetened water during the first three days. Each sweetening composition was tested twice, on different groups of piglets.The results were summarised below: Sweetener: nil Saccharin Saccharin Flavodan (weightsin Kg) + thaumatin SW-1000 Initial weight 5.54 5.60 5.43 5.68 Final weight 6.21 6.71 6.02 6.37 Weightgain 0.67 1.11 0.59 0.69 Weightgain (%) 12.01 19.08 10.09 12.01 Feed consumed 0.84 0.96 0.77 0.85 Food Conversion Ratio 1.25 0.86 1.31 1.23 Water consumed, midday 776 863 620 870 Thus, drinking water sweetened with the novel saccharin + thaumatin sweetening composition was effective in increasing water and feed consumption and %weight gain, and in improving the feed conversion ratio (FCR).In contrast, drinking water sweetened with saccharin decreased water intake, feed consumption and% weight gain, and drinking water sweetened with Flavodan SW-1 000 increased water consumption, but did not increase feed consumption or% weight gain. Neither of the conventional saccharin sweetening compositions was effective in enhancing the FCR compared with the control.
