Definitions

  • the invention relates to nutrition for dysphagia patients.
  • the nutrition is in the form of thickened food.
  • the invention relates to a powdered nutritional product that can thicken a wide range of liquids or other foods.
  • the invention further relates to a method for preparing food with a stable viscosity suitable for dysphagia patients.
  • a better mouthfeel of a foodstuff can be a reason to eat it more often simply because they prefer the “taste” of it.
  • things are however completely different. In fact a good mouthfeel may be considered a matter of life and death.
  • Dysphagia patients are afraid to consume foodstuffs that appear to thin to them, because they fear to choke. This fear often shows by a reluctance to eat or drink and may lead to dehydration and malnutrition.
  • Thickening the beverages for humans afflicted with dysphagia is a common method of managing dysphagia. Thickening provides better bolus control, greater oral stimulation, and when swallowed, if incompletely propelled into the esophagus, it helps prevent undesired and potentially fatal aspiration of fluids into the lungs.
  • starch is used to thicken beverages of dysphagia patients. Starch is also the preferred ingredient in view of its properties, cost price, taste and thus acceptance by dysphagia patients.
  • WO2004/069179 where non-starch polysaccharides are used in thickened beverage compositions for the treatment of dysphagia patients.
  • WO01/01789 relates to a gelled nutritional composition including gelled whey protein suitable for dysphagia patients.
  • WO03/055334 describes a method for preparing thickened foods suitable for dysphagia patients wherein said binding, gelling or thickening compound is selected from the group consisting of proteins, carrageenans, starches, gums, gelatins, or a combination thereof.
  • WO03/011051 describes a concentrate thickener paste and the use thereof for thickening liquid food suitable for patients with dysphagia.
  • the concentrate thickener is selected from at least one of alginates, carrageenan, galactomannans, cellulosics, food starches, xanthan gum and gum Arabic.
  • WO2004/069179 and WO01/01789 describe the use of pre-thickened beverages or foods. These types of products are suitable for treating dysphagia patients but have the disadvantage of being unable to thicken other liquids or foods as is often not only required but also preferred by patients.
  • this problem is solved by using a thickener suitable for thickening any food.
  • WO03/055334 and WO03/011051 only describe a method for preparing thickened food but do not solve the important problem that the product is not stable during consumption due to the activity of amylase from saliva.
  • WO03/055334 is not related to the problem of preparing a thickener composition.
  • WO03/011051 relates to a concentrate thickener paste for thickening liquids and indicates in the text that the use of powders as thickening agents is disadvantageous due to clumping caused by bad hydration properties. Due to the water retaining properties of xanthan gum in the colon, the preferred embodiment of WO03/055334 where xanthan gum is used as a thickening agent, has the disadvantage of retaining water in the gut. It is known that dysphagia patients often suffer from dehydration. The use of xanthan gum is therefore a disadvantage and the xanthan gum content in the thickened products should preferably be as low as possible.
  • dysphagia patients often spill saliva during consumption and need a relatively long time to consume their food.
  • starch is used as a thickener the amylase present in the saliva will digest the starch and the viscosity of the product will decrease. This leads to an undesirable decrease in viscosity that again increases the problems for dysphagia patients to swallow the food. It is therefore essential that the food dysphagia patients consume retains the right viscosity during consumption.
  • the preparation of the food product for dysphagia patients in elderly homes, hospitals, nursing homes etc. includes freezing of the prepared thickened foods and thawing the food before consumption. It is very important that the viscosity of the thickened product before freezing and after thawing stays constant. In that way the patient will always receive a product with a constant viscosity so that (s) he will feel confident when consuming the product. It is therefore essential that the food dysphagia patients consume retains the right viscosity during preparation.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a product that combines the properties of a good viscosity profile (mouth feel) and a good stability during consumption (i.e. resistance against amylase digestion) as well as a good stability during preparation (i.e. freeze-thawing).
  • the present inventors found that when xanthan gum in combination with galactomannan such as tara gum, is mixed with starch, a food thickening agent is obtained which complies with all essential properties of a thickening agent suitable for dysphagia patients.
  • a small quantity of gums in combination with starch gives an ideal viscosity profile while the gums protect the starch from degradation by amylase during the consumption of the thickened foods.
  • the invention concerns a method for thickening nutritional products to make the nutritional product suitable for dysphagia patients by mixing starch, at least one selected from xanthan gum and methylcellulose, and at least one selected from galactomannan and glucomannan with the nutritional product.
  • the invention concerns the use of a composition comprising starch, at least one selected from the group consisting of xanthan gum and methylcellulose, and at least one selected from the group consisting of galactomannan and glucomannan for the preparation of a nutritional product that is suitable for dysphagia patients.
  • Starch can be described as alfa-1,4 linked polyglucose.
  • starch is food grade starch that can be commercially obtained from numerous suppliers.
  • suitable starches may be corn-, rice-, wheat- and tapoica starch.
  • a suitable starch is waxy maize starch (e.g WMS 78-0632 from National Starch).
  • Xanthan gum is a high molecular weight, long chain polysaccharide composed of the sugars glucose, mannose, and glucuronic acid.
  • the backbone is similar to cellulose, with added side chains of trisaccharides.
  • xanthan gum is food grade and can be commercially obtained from numerous suppliers.
  • Suitable xanthan is for instance Novaxan (dispersible, transparant) from ADM and for instance Rhodigel Supra Clear supplied by Rhodia.
  • methylcellulose is food grade and can be commercially obtained from numerous suppliers.
  • Galactomannan is a gum in which the structural chain is made up of D-mannose units with beta-1,4 linkages, having (single) side chains of galactose units. The ratio of galactose to mannose differs in different galactomannans, with usually the majority being mannose.
  • Glucomannan is a polysaccharide comprised of D-glucose and D-mannose residues bonded together in beta-1,4 linkages. Usually approximately 60% of the polysaccharide is made up of D-mannose and approximately 40%, of D-glucose.
  • galactomannan and glucomannan are food grade and can be commercially obtained from numerous suppliers
  • the dry components starch, xanthan and/or methylcellulose and galactomannan and/or glucomannan are mixed to give a dry thickener composition, suitably a dry powder.
  • a dry thickener composition suitably a dry powder.
  • Dissolution of this dry composition in food products can be aided by including maltodextrin in the dry composition, which prevents the formation of lumps in the food product.
  • maltodextrin is a further embodiment of this invention. It is preferred the composition is used in the form of a dry powder.
  • Maltodextrin can be described as polymers of dextrose. In the context of this invention maltodextrin is food grade and can be commercially obtained from numerous suppliers
  • a measure for the viscosity which reflects the degradation by amylase is the measure wherein the force to compress a nutritional product is reduced after treatment with saliva compared to the untreated nutritional product.
  • the conditions for treatment with saliva and measurement of compression are described in example 2.
  • a nutritional product is considered suitable for dysphagia patients if after the treatment with saliva the compression of the nutritional product is not reduced by more than 20%.
  • the invention concerns a thickening composition for thickening nutritional products to make the nutritional product suitable for consumption by dysphagia patients, said thickening composition comprising starch, at least one selected from xanthan gum and methylcellulose, at least one selected from galactomannan and glucomannan and optionally maltodextrin, wherein compression of the nutritional product is not reduced by more than 20% after treatment of the nutritional product with saliva compared to the untreated nutritional product as measured using a TA.XT.Plus Texture Analyser.
  • the invention concerns a thickening composition for thickening nutritional products to make the nutritional product suitable for consumption by dysphagia patients.
  • the thickening composition comprises, based on the total dry weight of the product, 20-90 wt. % starch, 0.1-10 wt. % of at least one selected from xanthan gum and methylcellulose and 0.4-30 wt. % of at least one selected from galactomannan and glucomannan and in addition the composition comprises up to 55 wt. % maltodextrin.
  • starch, xanthan gum and/or methylcellulose, galactomannan and/or glucomannan and maltodextrin are in total more than 80 wt.
  • the thickening composition is in the form of a dry powder.
  • the thickening composition is used to thicken liquids and/or liquefied foods such as beverages and dairy products, vegetables such as carrots, spinach, etc and meat that are liquefied by blending, mincing and/or grinding.
  • xanthan gum is selected.
  • galactomannan is selected, and in yet a further embodiment xanthan gum and galactomannan are selected.
  • galactomannan is selected from the group consisting of guar gum, locust bean gum, tara gum, fenugreek gum, cassia gum and a suitable glucomannan is konjac mannan, preferably tara gum is selected.
  • Table 1 shows the results of a stability test wherein thickened water was tested without further treatment, treated with amylase and treated by freezing and thawing of the thickened product. The results show that only when starch is combined with tara gum and xanthan gum the product retains its viscosity after both treatments.
  • Amylase resistance and freeze-thaw stability (Compression force measured in triplicate in grams) starch + tara gum + starch + starch + xanthan gum starch tara gum xanthan gum (see example 2) Without 31 37 29 49 treatment With amylase 19 29 28 48 Freeze and 30 42 22 49 thaw
  • the starch + xanthan gum + tara gum combination is the most stable during both the amylase treatment and the freeze/thaw treatment.
  • the present invention concerns a thickened nutritional product comprising protein, fat and a thickener composition according to the present invention, said thickened nutritional product having an energy density between 1.3-2 kcal/ml.
  • the invention relates to a method for preparing a thickened nutritional product comprising the steps of mixing the thickener composition according to the present invention with a food product and optionally followed by the steps of freezing the thickened nutritional product thus obtained and thawing the frozen nutritional product.
  • Fibers such as xanthan gums are known to retain water in the colon. When colon bacteria ferment fibers, the water bound to the fibers will be released and available for absorption over the gut barrier.
  • Another advantage of this surprising finding is that because tara gum is better fermentable, it will produce more short chain fatty acids that are beneficial for gut health. Based on the results of the fermentation characteristics of xanthan and tara gum it is preferred to have a composition comprising more tara gum than xanthan gum.
  • the weight ratio of starch:xanthan gum and/or methylcellulose and galactomannan and/or glucomannan is in the range of 1:4 to 1:10, also the weight ratio of xanthan gum and/or methylcellulose:galactomannan and/or glucomannan is in the range of 14 to 1:10.
  • FIG. 1 shows the ideal viscosity profile (St), the profile of a composition consisting of starch and tara gum (St+Ta) and starch with tara gum and xanthan gum (St+Ta/Xa). From the figure it can be seen that the composition with both tara gum and xanthan gum gives a viscosity profile close to the ideal profile.
  • FIG. 2 shows the fermentation of gums and starch by intestinal flora bacteria.
  • xanthan gum is not well hydrolyzed while tara gum is comparable with glucose. This indicates that xanthan will only be fermented for a small part and therefore has the effect of retaining water in the faeces. In dysphagia patients, this water retention is undesirable because many patients already have dehydration problems due to low intake of liquids.
  • the viscosity of a food product changes due to shear forces. This change in viscosity can be analyzed in a laboratory mixing experiment of the food product. The force needed for mixing food product is a measure for the viscosity of this food product. As can be seen in FIG. 1 , the viscosity decreases when the shear rate increases.
  • Tara gum and xanthan gum could be replaced or mixed with other polysaccharide gums of plant and microbial origin as there are locust bean gum, guar gum, fenugreek gum, tamarind gum, konjac mannan, cassia gum, gum Arabic, gum ghatti, pectin, cellulosics, agar, carrageenan, alginate, tragacanth gum, karaya gum, curdlan and gellan gum.
  • Dispersions were prepared by adding 12 gram of thickener composition described in Example 4 to 200 gram of water in a 500 ml shaking beaker and shaking the mixture in the shaking beaker by hand until no powder particles could be observed anymore visually. After preparation the dispersions were allowed to rest for 15 minutes at 20° C.

  • Fresh human saliva from one or more individual(s) was gathered and mixed carefully. Directly after fresh preparation of a dispersion, or 30 minutes after a dispersion had been heated 2 ml of the saliva-mixture was carefully applied on top of the dispersions using a pipette. Care was taken that the upper surface of the dispersion was not disturbed when applying saliva. After addition of the saliva the dispersions were incubated at 20° C. for one hour.
  • the dispersions were compressed using a TA.XT.Plus Texture Analyser (Stable Micro Systems, Godalming, UK) equipped with an acrylic 35 mm circular disc at 20° C. Before testing the disc was lowered at a pre-test speed of 1.5 mm/sec until a trigger force was measured of 5 g. During testing the disc was lowered at a test speed of 2 mm/sec until a depth of 20 mm. After compression the disc was moved upwards at a constant speed of 2 mm/sec. During the test the force required to compress and de-compress the dispersion and the distance the disc traveled were recorded. For further calculations the maximum compression force was used. Tests were performed 3 times and average is depicted in table 1.
