Definitions

  • the present invention is in the field of nutrition in solid form, which is for drinking upon dissolution.
  • Nutrition in solid form in particular in the form of a tablet, has the advantage of being easy in use by the consumers. For example in preparing infant milk formulae the scooping of powders is difficult potentially leading to dosing mistakes and/or to spilling of the powder. Therefore there is a need for tablets for nutritional formulae that are not in a ready to feed format. Since tablets are also a convenience product, the tablets should be convenient for use. This means that the tablets should be strong enough to be transported in a box or flow wrap and handled by the consumer, while at the same time the tablets should dissolve quick enough, i.e. comparable with the corresponding powder formulae. When preparing a tablet with a nutritional composition, the problem is to strike the balance between the hardness and friability of the tablet and the solubility of the tablet.
  • EP 1048216 discloses tablets including tablets based on infant formula.
  • EP 1769682 discloses tablets with a specific porosity and free fat content wherein the tablets contain dairy proteins.
  • the inventors of the present invention therefore tried to find an alternative for preparing a nutritional tablet.
  • dietary fibers can be used as a nutritionally acceptable ingredient to improve the solubility and the speed of dissolution of nutritional tablets comprising protein, fat and carbohydrates.
  • solubility of the tablet is improved while having a sufficient hardness.
  • the invention thus concerns a composition
  • a composition comprising fat, protein and carbohydrates, wherein the carbohydrates comprise dietary fibers, and wherein the composition is compressed in the form of a tablet with a hardness of 15 N to 250 N when tested in a hardness tester wherein a force is applied horizontally on the tablet with a constant test speed of 2 mm/s.
  • this is also referred to as the (present) composition in the form of a tablet.
  • dietary fibers improve the solubility of compressed powders.
  • composition in the form of a tablet according to the present invention comprises protein, fat and carbohydrates wherein the carbohydrates comprise at least 1 weight percent (wt %) dietary fibers based on the total weight of the composition.
  • the composition in the form of a tablet comprises dietary fibers in a range between 1 and 15 wt % of the total composition.
  • the dissolution time is very important and is preferably be in the range similar to the powder product. Preferably the dissolution time is not longer than 60 seconds upon shaking. Therefore the present invention is particularly preferred for nutritional formulae and in particular for preparing an infant formula in tablet form or a medical food in tablet form.
  • the composition in the form of a tablet according to the present invention is an infant formula.
  • the composition in the form of a tablet according to the present invention is a medical food.
  • the present invention also concers the use of the present composition in the form of a tablet for the dietary management of growth in infants between 0 and 36 months.
  • This can also be worded as a method for the dietary management of growth in infants between 0 and 36 months, comprising administering the present composition in the form of a tablet.
  • this can be worded as the present composition in the form of a tablet for use in the dietary management of growth in infants between 0 and 36 months.
  • the invention cal also be worded as the use of a composition comprising fat, protein and carbohydrates, wherein the carbohydrates comprise dietary fibers for the preparation of a nutritional composition in the form of a tablet with a hardness of 15 N to 250 N when tested in a hardness tester wherein a force is applied horizontally on the tablet with a constant test speed of 2 mm/s, for use in the dietary management of growth in infants between 0 and 36 months.
  • the invention also concerns the use of dietary fibers for improving the dissolving time of compressed powders comprising fat, protein and carbohydrates, wherein the carbohydrates comprise the dietary fibers in a range between 1 and 15 wt % of the total composition.
  • a tablet according to the present invention has a hardness between 15 N and 250 N using a Schleuniger hardness tester.
  • the tablets are placed horizontally on the holder of the Schleuniger hardness tester and a force is applied horizontally on the tablet with a constant test speed of 2 mm/s.
  • the tablet comprises at least 1 wt % dietary fiber and has a hardness in the range of 20 N to 250 N. Since the use of dietary fibers shortens the dissolving time harder tablets can be made.
  • Harder tablets are preferred since they are more stable during transport and handling of the tablets.
  • a more preferred hardness of the tablets is therefore in the range of 25 N to 250 N, and even more preferred 30 N to 250 N when tested in a hardness tester wherein a force is applied horizontally on the tablet with a constant test speed of 2 mm/s.

  • Medical foods can be complete nutritional products comprising fat, carbohydrate, protein, and vitamins and minerals.
  • Food supplements comprising ingredients in lower or imbalanced quantities are also part of the invention.
  • a specific problem related to medical foods is the relatively large quantities of unsaturated fatty acids they contain. These fatty acids are known to oxidize due to presence of oxygen in the composition and/or high temperatures necessary to sterilize the composition. Oxidation in general is a problem in the food industry determining to a large extent the shelf life of a product. Oxidation of poly-unsaturated fatty acids also diminishes the nutritional value of the fatty acids. It is known that oxidation of fatty acids produces free radicals, which are believed to play a role in the development of cancer and other degenerative diseases.
  • a preferred composition in the form of a tablet according to the present invention comprises poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA).
  • PUFA poly-unsaturated fatty acids
  • the composition in the form of a tablet comprises at least 1 wt. % poly-unsaturated fatty acids.

  • the tablet is coated, e.g. by film coating techniques known in the art, the penetration of oxygen from the air will likely further decrease, resulting in even less oxidation of the unsaturated fatty acids. Therefore in a preferred embodiment the composition in the form of a tablet according to the present invention is provided with a coating. Coatings that are suitable for nutritional tablets are known to the skilled person.
  • the reconstitution of a composition in tablet form according to the invention (active) versus a control was measured
  • the active was an Infant milk formula comprising 7.9 wt % dietary fiber, which was a mixture comprising galactooligosaccharides and long chain fructo oligosaccharides (GOS/IcFOS), and the control is the same formula wherein the GOS/IcFOS absent.
  • Tablets were prepared as follows. A die is placed on a weighing tool and placed on an analytical balance and a pre-determined amount of powder (active is 5.0 g, control 4.6 g) was weighted into the die. When enough powder was added, the lid of the die was placed on top of the die. The die was turned upside down and some pressure was applied to the puncher until the resistance of the powder was felt. The die was placed in a manual tablet press. The torch wrench was set onto the right amount of applied energy in Newton meters (Nm) and was placed on top of the manual tablet press. In this example the applied energy was 12 Newton meters. With the help of the torch wrench the puncher was lowered until the moment the pre-determined amount of energy was applied. The screw of the tablet press was turned in the opposite direction so the die could be removed. The die was turned upside down and the lid was removed. By pushing the piston inside the die the tablet was released.
  • active 5.0 g, control 4.6 g
  • the dry matter content was analysed with help of the “Monjonier” method.
  • the reconstitution degree was calculated with the following formula:
  • Reconstitution(%) (% dry matter content of sieved milk/% dry matter content of fully dispersed sample)*100.
  • FIG. 1 shows the influence of dietary fibres in tablets on reconsitution.
  • Tablets prepared as described in example 1, wherein the food is a medical food. All ingredients were kept constant, except for the fibers. The hardness of the tablets was 16 N.
  • the fibers in this composition comprise soy polysaccharides, resistant starch, inulin, Arabic gum cellulose and oligo fructose. As is clear from the result, the reconstitution at 20 seconds is much higher in the fiber containing product compared to the control product. Also at 60 seconds there was a relevant difference in reconstitution of 98% for the active and 91% for the control product.
  • Tablets were prepared as described in example 1. The hardness of the tablets was between 15 and 16 N. In this example a particularly strong effect on dissolution was measured when comparing this infant formula with and without GOS/inulin. Also at 60 second, the dissolution of the active was 97% while the control was only 82%.
