Expandable microcapsules

Abstract

An expandable microcapsule has a core layer composed of 300 parts by weight of a foaming agent, 250 parts by weight of a polymer absorbent material and 60 parts by weight of a core layer lubricant, and the foaming agent has the characteristic of being capable of reacting with water to generate gas; the coating layer is used for coating the surface of the core layer to form a granular structure, and consists of the following components in percentage by weight: 10 to 40 percent of edible water-absorbing colloid, 5 to 40 percent of functional healthy food additive, 2 to 30 percent of emulsifier, 4 to 15 percent of coating layer lubricant and 5 to 40 percent of film coating composition; and the film coating composition has the characteristics of resistance to gastric acid decomposition and capability of being decomposed only in intestinal tracts.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention is an expandable microcapsule that can physically expand in the human stomach after eating to increase satiety. Background technique [0002] "Obesity" usually refers to abnormal or excessive fat accumulation in the human body. According to the results of the nutritional health survey: obesity will increase the burden of physical function, a major risk factor for non-communicable diseases, and lead to the occurrence of many chronic diseases, for example, prone to Arteriosclerosis, heart disease, stroke, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, malignant tumor, fatty liver, metabolic syndrome and other diseases. [0003] And through drugs such as metabolic stimulants, appetite suppressants, and starch blockers, although the effect of weight loss can be achieved in a short period of time, long-term use of drugs will inevitably cause many adverse side effects to the human body. For example, currently legal weight loss ...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] And through drugs such as metabolic stimulants, appetite suppressants, and starch blockers, although the effect of weight loss can be achieved in a short period of time, long-term use of drugs will inevitably cause many adverse side effects to the human body. For example, currently legal weight loss drugs ingredients It is an inhibitor of pancreatic lipolytic enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract, which can prevent part of the fat in the food from being decomposed and absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby reducing the calories from part of the fat in the food to achieve the goal of weight loss effect, but It has great side effects, including interference with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, greasy stools, flatulence, gallstones, liver and kidney damage, etc., so it is not suitable for long-term use; another phentermine-topiramate ) compound and lorcaserin (lorcaserin) as the main ingredients of weight-loss drugs, the mechanism of action is to increase satiety, to suppress appetite to achieve the purpose of weight loss, but there will be dizziness, nausea or insomnia, constipation and other side effects , and these two weight-loss drugs still have doubts about the risk of cardiovascular disease, so they are not suitable for patients with cardiovascular disease
