Definitions
- the amount of the dry infant formula might be correct but it can be mixed to a too small amount or to a too high amount of water or be insufficiently dissolved or mixed.
- the baby might not be sufficiently hydrated whereas in the other cases, the baby might not receive sufficient nutrition.
- the present invention provides a nutritional delivery system using single- serve capsules comprising:
- the present invention also relates to a method for delivering a nutritional liquid to categories of persons requiring differentiated nutritional feedings according to a nutritional feeding plan, comprising a portion-controlled nutrition system using a single-serve capsule and a dispenser for receiving the capsules and delivering a differentiated nutritional liquid by mixing water with the nutritional formula contained in said capsule, wherein said method further comprises:
- each type of capsules corresponds to a time period recommended by the nutritional feeding plan, each type of capsules being so designed for persons or categories of persons requiring a differentiated nutritional feeding over a determined period of time and,
- each type of capsules corresponds to a feeding period which has been determined, e.g., by nutritional specialists, to match at best the needs of the specific categories of persons.
- the feeding plan is primarily designed to adapt the nutritional feed to a predetermined age range by providing potentially differentiated capsules (e.g., size) including potentially differentiated content and/or formulation and adapted to be operated in a differentiated manner (e.g., reconstitution volume) by capsule-related control means (e.g., code means, visual marks, etc.).
- the nutritional feeding plan is a feeding plan designed for infants, respectively, toddlers.
- the nutritional formula is an infant formula, respectively toddler formula, and the nutritional feeding plan provides a feed regime for infants, respectively toddlers, corresponding to a growth period (i.e., said time period) of the infant, respectively toddler, covering several age ranges.
- the type of capsules can be differentiated by at least their size which differs for at least two different types of capsules.
- the different sizes of capsules enable to provide different amounts of the nutritional formula and different water volumes (i.e., reconstitution volume) for mixing with the formula in the capsule.
- different capsules sizes can be provided for the preparation of infant formulae for infants of different ages.
- the size of capsule can progressively increase as a function of the age of the infant to be fed.
- the proportion of the volume of the capsule filled with the nutritional formula relative to the total available volume in the capsule varies for each type of capsules.
- the types of capsules are differentiated by the amount of the nutritional formula which differs for at least two different types of capsules.
- the content of infant formula increases as the infant becomes older.
- the increase may be a progressive increase or a step-by-step increase.
- the amount of infant formula for an infant increases as a function of the age of the infant. Therefore, at least within a certain range of ages, the amount of nutritional formula also increases according to the increase of size of the capsules.
- the amount of nutritional formula can be substantially the same for two types of capsules covering two adjacent periods of age within the whole range of capsules and the amount of nutritional formula can increase for capsules designed below and above said periods of age.
- the amount of nutritional formula can increase for a same size of capsule so that within the whole range of capsules, two capsules covering two adjacent periods of age can contain different amounts of nutritional formula.
- a feeding plan such as for infants of the age of between 0 and 36 months can be determined while using a limited number of sizes of capsules.
- each type of capsules can also be differentiated by the recipe of the nutritional formula which differs for each type.
- the recipe differs in the capsules as a function of the age of the infant.
- the recipe can differ according to the different sizes of capsules, e.g., to fit the age of the infant to be fed. Furthermore, the recipe can also differ for each size of capsules in order to reduce the number of sizes of capsules.
- the types of capsules can differ from each other regarding the nature and/or the amount of any of the following nutrients amongst the group consisting of: proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, probiotics, micronutrients and combinations thereof.
- the wheyxasein ratio of each formula is chosen in the range of from 100:0 to 40:60 and decreases according to the age of the infant.
- the protein content of each formula decreases according to the age of the infant.
- the infant formula is chosen in the range of 4.6 to 6.0 lipid/100 kcal and decreases with the increasing age of the infant.
- the lipid source includes milk fat.
- the at least one differentiating operational parameter relevant to produce and deliver the differentiated nutritional formula liquid from the dispenser includes at least the volume of water that is mixed with the formula in the capsule for reconstitution of the nutritional liquid. Therefore, the volume of water is automatically adjusted according to the predetermined nutritional feeding plan so that the person being fed receives the optimized volume of liquid.
- the volume of water is preferably automatically adjusted by the control operation means without allowing the user to modify such volume. It is indeed important for infants, for instance, that the volume of delivered liquid is absolutely controlled so that the feeding plan is precisely respected. Moreover, a too low volume of reconstituting water leads to hydratation problems, dissolution problems or a reconstituted liquid of inappropriate texture that can be difficult to swallow for the baby.
- the volume of water is controlled by the controlling means according to the type of capsules which is inserted in the dispenser so that the correct volume of water is mixed with the nutritional formula for reconstitution of the nutritional liquid.
- a microbial filter is provided in the system.
- the microbial filter can be placed anywhere between the water heater and the point of delivery of the nutritional liquid of the capsule.
- the filter is inserted in the capsule itself such as upstream of the compartment containing the nutritional formula.
- the use of a filter may be omitted or replaced by another water treatment or sanitation method operated in the dispenser.
- the use of bottled water can be recommended for mixing with the nutritional formula in the dispenser.
- the capsule of the invention can be a rigid or semi-rigid container containing the nutritional formula.
- the capsule has an outlet duct for guiding the flow of nutritional liquid directly to the receiving receptacle, e.g., baby bottle, without contaminating the surroundings nor the dispenser itself.
- the capsule may further comprise a delivery system which opens the flow of the nutritional liquid toward or in the duct.
- a delivery system can be a combination of a membrane and perforating elements that opens under a mechanical and/or liquid pressure or, alternatively, a valve means such as a silicone or rubber valve that opens under pressure of liquid.
- the outlet duct can also be a disposable part of the dispenser that is inserted in the capsule with its outlet part protruding outside the capsule.
- the differentiating parameter for each type of capsules and/or the differentiating operational parameter for processing the capsule according to its type differ according to the age of the person, e.g., infant, to be fed.
- the delivered nutritional liquid can be tailored, firstly, according to the different types of capsules which can differ according to a combination of size, amount of nutritional formula, recipe of the nutritional formula and, secondly, according to the volume of water which is mixed into the capsules and which differs thus for each type.
- the volume of water for reconstituting the nutritional liquid increases as a function of the size of the capsule, i.e., the larger the capsule, the larger the water volume fed in the capsule.
- the dispensing system comprises control means enabling to control certain operational parameters of the dispenser as a function of the type of capsules which is inserted in the dispenser.
- the control operation means comprises a code associated to each type of capsules and reader means associated to the dispenser for reading the code and a control unit configured to control the preparation of the nutritional formula liquid according to at least one differentiating parameter relating to the code. Therefore, the type of capsules is automatically recognized in the dispenser and the correct operational parameters are automatically set for enabling the delivery of the proper nutritional liquid.
- This control means guarantees that the nutritional plan can be followed by the user since the capsule can always be processed in compliance with specifications of the nutritional feeding plan.
- an identification code is associated to each type of capsules in order for the control unit to recognize the type of capsule and process the capsule accordingly.
- the code can contain an identification information which is identical for all capsules of a same type under the form of a binary code for instance, or a magnetic or electro -magnetic signal.
- the identification code may also contain information which varies from capsule to capsule of the same type such as serial numbers, in order to provide the opportunity to carry out the authentication of the capsule before processing it.
- each type of capsules comprises a specific code corresponding to the volume of water to be supplied by the dispenser in the capsules.
- the dispenser comprises a code reader for detecting the code on the capsule and a control unit for controlling the preparation of the nutritional formula liquid according to the information, e.g., a binary code, read by the reader.
- control operation means comprise identifiable keys; each one corresponding to a selected program enabling to operate one type of capsules in the differentiated manner according to the differentiated operational parameters set in the programs.
- the identifiable keys are related to the different types of capsules although not directly associated to them (e.g., fixed thereon).
- the identifiable keys are preferably placed on a panel of the dispenser such as under the form of a keyboard or virtual keys appearing on a touch screen. These keys are selectively actuated by the user for initiating the controlled preparation of the nutritional formula liquid.
- a plurality of visual marks on the capsules is provided; each mark corresponding to one type of capsules, and a multi-choice activation means on the dispenser matching the plurality of visual marks and operating a control unit configured to control the preparation of the nutritional formula liquid according to the differentiating parameter relating to the choice made by the user on the multi-choice activation means.
- this embodiment proposes differentiatable marks, e.g., a selection of colours, alphanumerical indicia, trademarks, signs, symbols, etc., provided for each type of capsules and the corresponding marks on the dispenser associated to activation means, e.g., a keyboard or touch screen, for enabling the user to start the operation steps of the capsule in the dispenser.
- differentiatable marks e.g., a selection of colours, alphanumerical indicia, trademarks, signs, symbols, etc.
- the term "differentiating characteristic” refers to a technical feature of the capsule, including the container itself and the nutritional formula contained in the container, which can effect a differentiation in the dispensed nutritional liquid.
- the term "differentiating operational parameter” refers to a parameter which can be controlled or varied in the processed operation of the capsule in dispenser which can effect a differentiation in the dispensed nutritional liquid.
- the term "nutritional liquid” refers to the composition as dispensed from the dispenser and is not limited to a composition of pure liquid texture but may encompass a suspension in a liquid, a puree, a mixture of foam and liquid and/or a gel.

- the electronic elements can be placed on a small printed circuit board 54 connected via a small cable 55 to the control unit of the dispenser.
- the control unit 5 comprises a microprocessor which measures the pulse length of every dark ring of the circular barcode and the spaces between the rings and compares the sequence to given pattern to decode the information of the barcode rings.
- Each circular barcode is thus read and provides a binary code (e.g., 000, 101, 010, etc.) indicating to the control unit which type of capsules is present in the dispenser.
- a binary code e.g., 000, 101, 010, etc.
- the code reader can also be placed at a sufficient distance from the injection head so that the reading is not disturbed by the wet and steam environment.
- a linear barcode could also be utilized.
- Other capsule recognition means such as RFID technology can of course replace the barcode system.
- the technology may also be chosen as function of the number of data to be stored in the code which is itself also function of the number of capsules and the complexity of the operations in the dispenser to be controlled. For instance, RFID allows storing of a larger amount of information.
- RFID can be used to read different consumables or elements coming in the preparation of the liquid to be prepared, e.g., a disposable filter to control life time of the filter or a water bottle recommended for reconstituting the liquid formula.
- the capsule is transported by the transport cart 32 below the water injection head up to the point where the capsule is pierced.
- the control unit 5 commands the water pump on to inject a controlled volume of water in the capsule.
- the volume of water is controlled in function of the type of capsules recognized by the code recognition means.
- the control unit may not activate the pump and the dispenser may send a warning signal to the user that the capsule has not been recognized.
- the capsules of the invention can be of different structure.
- Preferred capsules are, for instance, "direct-flow” gastight capsules, preferably, as described in European patent EP1472156B or also in co-pending patent application No. 08152871.3 filed on 18 March 2008 entitled: " Cartridge for preparation of a liquid comprising puncturable delivery wall".
- a pressure is typically built up within the capsule during water injection, which causes a lower face (or septum) of the cartridge to open thence, enabling the output of the liquid to be prepared. Since the output of the beverage to be prepared takes place at the lower face of the capsule with no contact with opening means of the dispenser, the flow of the liquid can be directly poured into the receptacle, e.g. a baby bottle, without contaminating the surfaces of the device. This results in a very hygienic preparation and delivery of the nutritional preparation.
- the present method can apply to other groups of persons such as athletes during training or preparing for competitions or persons under medication or treatment for which a followed regime is required over a certain period of time.
- the nutritional feeding plan is designed for providing a balanced regime to infants from the age of 0 to 12 months.
- the exemplified infant formulae will also contain other ingredients usually found in such products notably including, probiotics, prebiotics, micronutrients e.g., nucleotides, vitamins and minerals.
- the plans could expand to provide additional capsules of large size for young children of respectively, 13 to 24 months and 24 to 36 months as well as a capsule containing a neonatal supplement.
