Description

BACKGROUND
This invention relates to modified dietary fiber products and processes for producing the same. More particularly, this invention relates to modified dietary fiber products such as bulk laxatives which are readily and easily dispersible in water and other liquids.
Dietary fibers such as psyllium powder, bran, cellulose derivatives such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, malt extract, wheat germ and the like have long been used as dietary supplements. These materials generally are relatively fine powders or particles which resist wetting due to their very dry nature. The most important of these dietary fibers materials are psyllium and bran. Psyllium powder may be derived from the ground husks of the seeds of plantago ovata, plantago psyllium or plantago indica. The laxative properties to this material are due to its hydrophillic properties and to its mucilaginous character when wetted. Bran has similar characteristics.
Historically, dry bulk laxative composition contain bulking agents such as psyllium powder and a large percentage of sugar, usually dextrose, as a dispersing agent. Some flavored bulk laxatives contain as much as 70% sugar. These dietary fiber compositions are added to water by the user to produce a dispersion of the powder. The powder picks up the moisture from this dispersion to become mucilaginous. However, even after vigorous agitation, a substantial amount of time is required for complete dispersal and miscibility of the bulking agent and the sugar in an aqueous system.
Many attempts have been made to overcome the dispersal problems of dry dietary fiber products such as bulk laxatives, specifically those including psyllium. One method of improving the dispersibility of psyllium powder is by using a psyllium having a wide range of particle sizes. It has been suggested that the different particle sizes are more dispersible than a product having a uniform particle size which is normally sold to produce formulators. However, these materials are not sufficiently more dispersible than standard substantially uniform particle size psyllium preparations.
A second method of improving the dispersibility of psyllium is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,321,263. This patent discloses coating or granulating the psyllium with polyvinylpyrrolidone as a granulating agent and polyethylene glycol as a dispersing agent. As disclosed in this patent, the polyvinylpyrrolidone also functions to reduce the friability of the resulting psyllium granules.
Still other attempts to improve the dispersibility of bulk fibers, specifically psyllium, are known which utilize an effervescent sugar-psyllium mixture to achieve the dispersal of the psyllium by the physical action of the carbon dioxide released when the product is added to water. These products, however, often contain high quantities of sodium ions as well as sugar and therefore cannot be safely used by patients whose intake of sugar or sodium is restricted.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
It has been surprisingly found that dietary fiber products can be coated with a small amount of an ingestible food grade emulsifier to produce a modified dietary fiber which is readily and easily dispersible in liquids. The method of coating the dietary fibers comprises mixing the dietary fiber with a small percentage of a food grade emulsifier dissolved in a non-toxic solvent for the emulsifier and removing the solvent.
It is therefore the primary object of the present invention to provide a dry dietary fiber product which is easily and readily dispersible in liquids.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a process for preparing these quickly dispersible dietary fiber products.
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide a dietary fiber product which need not contain sugar, phosphorous, sodium or potassium ions.
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide a method for coating a variety of dietary fiber products such that dispersible sugar free products can be produced.
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide a dietary fiber product having a coating of food grade emulsifier.
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide a readily dispersible bulk laxative product.
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide a modified psyllium laxative product.
Still further objects and advantages of the product and process of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description thereof.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
As used in the instant specification and claims the term "dietary fiber" means edible seeds and/or grains, especially the husks and/or germ of these seeds. Dietary fibers are used as bulk laxatives and as food supplements.
The present invention relates primarily to a modified dietary fiber materials. This product comprises from about 80 to 99.95% by weight of at least one dietary fiber and from about 0.05 to 20% by weight of a food grade emulsifier; wherein the emulsifier substantially coats the fiber to prevent agglomeration when added to liquids.
The present invention also relates to a process for preparing the above coated fiber materials. One embodiment of this process comprises mixing at least one dietary fiber with a mixture of from about 0.5 to 20% by weight of a food grade emulsifier and from about 0.5 to 40% by weight of a non-toxic solvent; and removing the solvent to form a dry free flowing product.
The present invention relates to modified dietary fiber products and methods for modifying these materials. Dietary fibers are useful as bulk forming laxatives. These materials are well known in the over-the-counter drug business. It is also well known that dietary fibers such as bulk laxatives, in their pure form resist wetting, agglomerate when mixed with liquids and do not disperse as a homogenous mixture. Examples of dietary fiber materials suitable for use in the compositions and methods of the present invention include psyllium preparations such as plantago seeds, i.e., plantago ovata, plantago psyllium, plantago indica, etc., plantago ovata husks, the hemicellulose of psyllium, psyllium seed, blond psyllium seed, psyllium seed husks, bran, wheat germ and mixtures thereof. By the term "bran" is meant the seed husk from any of a number of cereal grains including wheat, rice, rye, oats, barley, corn and mixtures thereof.
The dietary fiber should be present in the final composition of the present invention in an amount of from about 80 to 99.95% by weight. The fiber can be present either as a single material or as combinations of different psyllium preparations, bran, cereal germ and combinations of these materials. It is preferred that the final product contain from about 90 to 99.95% by weight dietary fiber and it is most preferred that the final product contain from about 95 to 99.95% by weight of these materials. Furthermore, when mixtures of psyllium and other materials such as bran are used, the total dietary fiber present in the formulation should contain from about 30 to 99% by weight psyllium and from about 70 to 1% by weight other fiberous material.
The composition of the present invention also includes from about 0.05 to 20% by weight of the food grade emulsifier. Suitable emulsifiers include MYVATEX Texture Lite Emulsifier available from Eastman Kodak, Health and Nutrition Division, Kingsport, Tenn. This material is a mixture of distilled propylene glycol monoglycerides, distilled monoglycerides and sodium stearoyl lactylate. Other emulsifiers also can be used including hydrophilic ethoxylated sorbitan monoesters such as the Tweens available from ICI America, especially sorbitan monostearate plus 20 moles of ethylene oxide (Tween 60), sorbitan mono-oleate plus 20 moles of ethylene oxide (Tween 80) and the like, malto dextran, lecithin, monoglycerides of food grade quality formed of fatty acids having a carbon chain length of between C4 and C24, diglycerides of food grade quality formed from fatty acids having a carbon content of between C4 and C24, vegetable oil, and mixtures thereof. The preferred emulsifier is the sorbitan monostearate plus 20 moles of ethylene oxide. The emulsifier should be present in the composition of the present invention in the amount of from about 0.05 to 20% by weight. Preferably, the composition should include from about 0.05 to 10% and optionally from about 0.05 to 5% by weight.
As noted above, it was most surprising that coating the dietary fibers with the thin coating of the above described emulsifiers causes the fibers to resist agglomeration when they are added to a liquid such as water. Instead of a agglomerating, the particles of the dietary fiber disperse without lumping or aggregation. The liquid permeates each particle and causes the particular fibrous material to disperse uniformly and homogeneously. Minimal stirring of the fiber into the liquid is required as compared with other products currently available in the marketplace which require vigorous stirring, shaking or even a mechanical blending to break up agglomerations of large masses of unwetted particles.
It is thought the thin coating by the food grade emulsifier temporarily retards the hydration and the resultant swelling of the dietary fiber product, allowing ample time for the consumer to ingest the product. Existing psyllium type products require that the mixture be consumed almost instantly after mixing. If the prior art mixtures are allowed to stand even for a short period of time the products become so mucilagenous and thick that it is difficult to swallow them.
One method for producing the modified dietary fibers of the present invention is by mixing the fibrous material with a mixture of an emulsifier and a non-toxic solvent. The dietary fiber should be mixed from about 0.05 to 20% of a food grade emulsifier and mixed with from 0.5 to 40% by weight of a solvent. Suitable solvents include water, ethanol, mixtures of water and ethanol, mixtures of water, ethanol and ethyl acetate whereby the ethyl acetate is present in small quantities such as denatured ethyl alcohol. The solvent, emulsifier and dietary fiber are than mixed so that the emulsifier coats the dietary fiber.
The mixing can be done using any of a number of different conventional mixing processes so long as intimate contact between the emulsifier and the dietary fiber is achieved. Examples of such processes include the Wurster process which is a modified fluid bed coating system for producing encapsulated products. A second process is the Durkee encapsulation process which is essentially an air suspension coating process, i.e., the fluidized bed is supported with air and sprayed with a coating material. A third type of process includes use of a Littleford blender of the type described in the August, 1981 "Rubber World" article entitled "Fluidized Bed Mixing of Dry Liquid Dispersions". Other suitable mixers include the Twin Shell mixer (PK blender) and cone mixers such as the Nauda mixer from The Day Company.
After the solvent, emulsifier and dietary fiber are mixed together, the solvent is flashed off using conventional means to form the coated dry fiber product. Still a further method of blending the emulsifier with the dietary fiber is to use the Littleford/Logie Blender without using any solvent. Heat may also be applied to the mixture to speed up the coating process but is not essential.
In addition, the compositions of the present invention can include other ingredients to improve the palatability or flavor of the composition. In this regard, citric acid or other acids may be added to the composition to impart tartness or other flavor characteristics. If acids are utilized, suitable pH buffering agents also may be utilized such as mono-calcium phosphate monohydrate, sodium citrate, etc. Obviously, the incorporation of these buffering materials should be avoided if the product is intended to be used by persons on a low sodium or phosphate diet. Also, sweetening agents and/or flavoring materials can be included. Suitable sweetening agents include sucrose, dextrose, fructose and other sugars as well as artificial sweetening agents such as saccerin, cyclamates and aspartame, i.e., N-L-Alpha-Aspartyl-L-Phenylalamine-1-Methyl ester. Also suitable food grade coloring agents also may be included.
The composition and method of the present invention will now be illustrated by way of the following examples which are for the purposes of illustration and are not in any way to be considered as limiting. In the following examples, all parts and percentages are by weight and all temperatures are in degrees Celsius.
EXAMPLE 1
86.67 grams of pure ethyl alcohol was mixed with 13.33 grams of sorbitan monostearate plus 20 moles of ethylene oxide (polysorbate 60-Tween 60). To a Littleford/Logie blender was added 70 grams of 40 mesh psyllium and 29.60 grams of bran. Also, three grams of the ethyl alcohol-polysorbate 60 mixture was added and the entire mixture was blended together to uniformity and until all the bran and psyllium particles were wetted. At this time the solvent was removed by air drying to produce a coated psyllium bran mixture having the following percent composition.

When 5.0 grams of this product was added to 8 ounces (236 ml) of water, the material quickly dispersed with simple mixing.
EXAMPLE 2
The procedure of Example 1 was repeated with the exception that the bran was replaced by the various brans such as red wheat bran, white wheat bran, oat bran, corn bran and rice bran. Both natural and roasted brans were used. In each case, similar results to those observed in Example 1 were obtained.
EXAMPLE 3
The procedure of Example 1 was repeated with the exception that the particle size of the bran was varied from exceptionally fine particles having a particle size less than 106 microns through large particle flakes (2,000 microns). In each instance similar results to those obtained in Example 1 were observed.
EXAMPLE 4
A series of coated dietary fibers were prepared using the procedure of Example 1. These dietary fibers have the final formulation as set forth in Example 1. In each case, either ethyl alcohol or SDA 35 denatured ethyl alcohol were utilized as the solvent:
