Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing a pectin-dietetics with essential swellable pectin substances as active component. The application is particularly directed to the prophylaxis of persons exposed to toxic metal cations. Essential for the inventive method is that Wasserloesliche and wasserunloesliche Polygalakturonsaeurehaltige pectin whose Veresterungsgrad 0 to 90%, are used in such Mengenverhaeltnissen and mixed that a mean degree of esterification of pectin results greater than 30%. The free carboxyl groups are at least partially saturated with essential metal cations, preferably potassium and magnesium. For hydrophobing, a lipid is added to the mixture and this further processed in a conventional manner.

Description

Field of application of the invention

The invention relates to a method for producing a pectin dietetic with substantially swellable Pektinstoffen as Wiikkomponente in a granulated or compressed form. The pectin diacetic according to the invention is, among other known uses, which make an increased intake of vegetable pectin-containing dietary fibers appear from a dietetic point of view, in particular suitable for the prophylaxis of persons exposed to toxic metal cations.

Characteristic of the known technical solutions

A pectin dietary in granulated or compressed form, which can be conveniently taken for long-term enjoyment without further preparation immediately before or after a meal and causes increased excretion of certain toxic metal cations via the kidney, has not been produced. It is only known that isolated pectins of various origins and also the pectin substances contained in the vegetable foods, depending on the degree of esterification of the galacturonan molecules with methanol, are more or less selectively capable of binding metal cations. Certain isolated pectins with special esterification. Of the free carboxyl groups in the range of 48 to 68% have already been experimented with animal experiments and on, for example, lead-exposed workers eir.es Akkumulatorenwerkes with positive results. Up to 15g of partially de-esterified apple pectin had to be administered orally per day. The peroral uptake of such large pectins, which are readily swellable in water and highly viscous, nevertheless presents considerable difficulties. Conventional, but voluminous forms of administration are therefore the incorporation of such active components into other water-rich foods, such as yoghurt or fruit juices, and the administration of gelatinous products.

Also for the known application areas, which make an increased intake of preferably highly esterified pectins appear from a dietetic point of view, pectin doses of even more than 15 g per day are required to demonstrate a defined effect. This is especially true for experiments carried out on subjects to lower the cholesterol spoilage in people at risk for cholesterolemia, as well as for the temporal slowdown of postprandial glucose absorption and for the reduction of insulin requirements in diabetics.

In general, the daily intake of the large quantities of pectins necessary for a demonstrably positive dietary effect is problematical due to their pronounced hydrocolloid properties. There has therefore been no lack of numerous attempts to produce pectin-containing combination preparations in different compositions. Often, however, such preparations or dietetic precursors are merely intended to provide a general weight reduction in overweight individuals or to stimulate some constipation with increased fecal excretion.

It is also known to use special pectin degradation products as a carrier for essential metal cations, which at least partially bound to the lipid metabolism positively affecting metal cations, such as magnesium bound.

Target of the E.-Flungung

The aim of the invention is, of vegetable food or planting ^': produce chen waste products of food manufacture recoverable pectins or pektinhaitige fiber in an at least partially unsatisfied with essential minerals form verschiedenster origin, composition and Veresteruiigrsgrade the free carboxyl groups of Galaktdronanmoleküle, edible granules or compressed, which can be comfortably absorbed in portions, experienced only a limited swelling in the mouth and for a long-term enjoyment, in particular of people with "toxic heavy metals burdened persons for prophylactic and acute dietary treatment, are suitable.

Explanation of the essence of the invention

The invention has for its object to show the pectins, pectin derivatives and the pectin-containing vegetable raw materials and the process conditions, so that a suitable for the long-term enjoyment Pektindiätetikum with a, in particular specific eliminating effect against toxic heavy metal ions, is obtained.

It has been found that this is achieved when the pectin diacetic contains substantially swellable pectic substances characterized as water-soluble and water-insoluble galacturonans or galacturonan derivatives with degrees of esterification of the carboxyl groups in the range of 0 to 90% and deron free carboxyl groups largely with essential metal cations, preferably potassium and magnesium, as well as with other known mineral essentials, are saturated.

According to the invention, the individual active components are to be mixed in such a way that a total degree of esterification of greater than 30% from all water-soluble and water-insoluble galacturonans or galacturonan derivatives ultimately results in the finished pectin dietetic.

Furthermore, by the process according to the invention, the swellable and water-soluble active components are first partially hydrophobized by treatment with a lipid component and then after mixing the other active components and other known texture and flavoring food or Lebonsmittelbestandteile with a preferably aqueous binder into a granulated or converted compressed pectin dietetics with a water activity of less than 0.8.

As a suitable lipid component, hardened vegetable fat or an edible pseudo fat or fat derivative with low autooxidation tendency has been found to be useful in storage. After the lipid component has melted, it can be mixed without difficulty with the swellable and water-soluble galacturonans or galacturonan derivatives with partial hydrophobization thereof.

Citrus or apple pectins with degrees of esterification of from 25 to 75% and the potassium / magnesium salts of pectic acid with degrees of esterification of from 0 to 10% or essential minerals bound oligogalacturonans are preferred according to the invention as swelling and water-soluble galacturonans or galacturonan derivatives.

As swellable and water-soluble galacturonans or galacturonan derivatives come mineral-rich, protopektinhaltige dietary fiber from plant foods, especially fruits, vegetables and potatoes, or from vegetable byproducts that inevitably in the processing of fruits, vegetables and potatoes in the form of pomace, peel or pulp residues or after preparation of the homogenates by washing with water-miscible solvents or by subsequent drying and Feinstzerkhinern incurred in powder form, in question. The protopectin-containing fiber of the invention from fruits. Vegetables and ware potatoes are characterized by a degree of esterification of pectin components of 25 to 90%.

The incorporation of known foods and food ingredients can be done in a variety of ways after the partial hydrophobing of the cold-swelling pectin in dry or dissolved form and serves mainly the texture and flavor improvement of Pektindiätotikums. Of importance are flavorings, vitamins, especially vitamins C and B ₆ , sweeteners and texturizing foods, such as cereal loops, cereal germs, dried fruit and dried fruit substitutes, and thick sugar fruits.

As a lubricant, a Glycerinzusatz has been proven to be up to 2%. Finally, in the last step of the process according to the invention, metered addition of the water-containing binder into a water activity of less than C, preferably less than 0.7, is achieved.

As a binder, fruit juice concentrates or fruit pulp concentrates, fruit syrups and capillary starch syrups have proven their worth.
