Definitions

  • the present invention relates to process for production of compounds, which are starch containing particles coated, embedded or encapsulated by at least one biopolymer, characterized in that the process is carried out in a reaction solution with a Ca 2+ concentration of 0.1 - 10 % by weight (wt- %), based on the total weight of the reaction solution.
  • Starches as carbohydrates are the preferred energy source for the body. Starches, which occur naturally in vegetables and grains. During digestion, starches are broken down into glucose, which provides essential energy for brain, central nervous system and for muscles during activity. Starches are one prime source of energy. The other source are sugars. Starches are far easier to break down in the digestive tract (producing less metabolic waste products) than either fat or protein and as a result the body's reserves of carbohydrate energy (stored in the blood, liver and muscles) are utilised first and are rapidly depleted during exercise. If these carbohydrates are not converted to energy, they are mostly converted and stored as fat, with a small amount stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles. When the body calls for more fuel (such as during exercise), the fat or glycogen is converted back to glucose and used accordingly.
  • the digestibility of starches be slowed to provide a controlled and/or steady release of glucose to the body over a period of several hours. Contrarily to the transit time of a meal in the stomach that can vary mainly in function of the type and quantity of food ingested, the transit time in the small intestine where most of starches digestion occurs is in average of 2 hours roughly before large intestine is reached. Therefore it is desirable that starch hydrolysis happens in a controlled and gradual way in the small intestine so that sustained energy can be delivered to the body. Additionally, the starch digestion should be complete or close to complete after 2 hours transit in the small intestine in order to minimise the quantity of undigested starch entering into the colon.

  • Emulsion made alginate beads containing rice starch granules were produced via the same method described in example 4 except that there was no overnight hardening step in 0.1 M CaCI 2 and except that the emulsifier dispersed in the oil phase; Hymono 8903 was replaced by Span 80 (Sorbitan monooleate, no. 85548, ex. Fluka Chemica) at the same concentration of 0.2 weight % with respect to the water phase.
  • Two different high M alginate products varying in molecular weight were utilised: a high Mw, alginate HM (Sigma-Aldrich no.
  • alginate HM alginic acid sodium salt, with a viscosity of 1400 cP at 2% in water
  • alginate LM Sigma-Aldrich no. A-5158: alginic acid sodium salt, with a viscosity of 25 cP at 2% in water
  • the initial concentration of alginate HM in the water phase of the emulsion was 2 % by weight and for alginate LM it was increased to 8% by weight (so that the rheological properties of alginate LM solution such as viscosity and elastic modulus were as close as possible to that of alginate HM solution).
  • microbeads HM made with alginate HM
  • microbeads LM with alginate LM
  • the average particle size of the gel beads were measured by small angle light scattering of suspended encapsulates in water: mean diameter of ca. 220 micron for beads HM and ca. 400 micron for beads LM.
  • Fig. 6 displays the hydrolysis profiles of heat-treated microbeads HM and LM produced at 800 rpm, having an average size of 200 micron and 400 micron respectively. In addition it also shows the data obtained for alginate HM beads made at 300 rpm, leading to an average diameter of 740 micron.
  • the hydrolysis of starch entrapped in microbeads LM appeared much more delayed compared to microbeads HM prepared at the same rotational speed. However the mean bead diameter was also 2 times higher for the LM system compared to HM.
  • the only way to explain this result was seen as being due to the higher density of the gel network in the LM system (or lower porosity), hence a retarded diffusion of amylase through the gel network. If this would not be the case, the 400 micron beads would not lead to the same delayed starch hydrolysis than for the 740 micron beads.
  • This example also shows the effect of the average bead size on the starch digestion rate.
