Embodiment Construction

[0027] "Mannoheptulose" as used herein means the well-known 7-carbon monosaccharide C 7 h 14 o 7 , also often referred to as "D-mannoheptulose". "Avocado alcohol" has the empirical formula C 7 h 16 o 7 , and is a polyol, the reduced form of mannoheptulose. These compounds may be referred to as "C 7 "substance.

[0028] Various other required C available from avocado 6 and C 7 Antimetabolites include, but are not limited to: 2-deoxy-D-glucose, 5-thio-D-glucose, 3-O-methylglucose, 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol, 2,5-anhydro- D-glucitol, 2,5-anhydro-D-mannitol and their mixtures with each other and with avocitol and mannoheptulose. As disclosed hereinafter, it has now been found that the criollo avocado is an unexpectedly rich source of mannoheptulose and avocado. Thus, methods embodied to provide a mixture of mannoheptulose and avocado using Criollo avocados comprise particularly useful, but non-limiting, embodiments of the invention.

Abstract

Avocados are processed in a controlled manner to optimize and maintain their levels of mannoheptulose and perseitol. The avocado flesh is used as a source of these materials in food compositions, especially pet foods. The process claimed comprises the following steps: A. ) harvesting the unripe fruit having a hardness greater than about 5 LBF; B. ) contacting the fruit from step (A) with ethylene gas until the fruit exhibits a penetrometer reading greater than about 2 LBF and less than about 5 LBF, according to the Penetrometer Test Procedure; and C. ) terminating step (B) by a procedure selected from removing the avocados from contact with the ethylene gas, or cooling the avocados to a temperature at or below about 45[deg.]F, or both, to provide an avocado product.

Description

technical field [0001] Avocados are processed in a controlled manner to optimize and maintain the mannoheptulose and perseitol content of the avocado pulp. Background technique [0002] Studies lasting more than six decades have shown that caloric restriction, including nutritional interventions, consistently extends lifespan in humans and lower animals. In particular, it has been reported that the inclusion of certain substances in pet food compositions, such as mannoheptulose, can block or inhibit certain aspects of carbohydrate metabolism, thereby mimicking the effects of caloric restriction. [0003] a. Mannoheptulose and its polyol form (avocado) can be made synthetically or can be extracted from natural plant sources, especially avocado. Manufacturers of human food compositions as well as pet foods for dogs, cats, horses, ferrets, etc. are well aware of their customers' preference for naturally derived ingredients in such compositions. Therefore, mannoheptulose and a...
