Embodiment 1

[0120] The relative viscosities of commercially available soluble fiber solutions, which can be provided as granulation binders, granules of active substances with nutritional components, are determined in the following manner.

[0121] The viscosity of these various products was measured using an Arius strain-controlled rotational rheometer (Rheological Sciences) equipped with a cone-disc geometry. The degree of shearing applied to the product and the constraints necessary for shearing (rotational binding) are measured. Viscosity measurements (Eta) are expressed in Pa.s as a ratio between restraint and shear ratio. The temperature of the measurement system is automatically adjusted and the temperature is maintained at ±0.1°C.

[0122] Solutions containing 25% solids of each commercially available fiber were prepared, and the viscosity of said solutions at 20°C was measured.

[0123] Table 1 below gives the relative viscosities of branched maltodextrins selected as granulati...

Embodiment 2

[0128] To illustrate that branched maltodextrin can be used as a granulation binder, the branched maltodextrin described in Example 1 was itself granulated.

[0129] The use of branched maltodextrin as a granulation binder can improve its physical and mechanical properties, and even eliminate the lack of dust generated by the initial branched maltodextrin powder.

[0130] A 25% solids content of branched maltodextrin (25 grams of branched maltodextrin and 75 grams of water) solution was prepared.

[0131] 475 grams of branched maltodextrin powder having an average particle size of 77 μm was placed in the drum of an Aeromatic Strea-1 fluidized bed drying granulator equipped with injection nozzles.

[0132] Due to the pulsating air flow at the bottom of the drum, the powder is suspended at a temperature of 60 °C. The solution of branched maltodextrin was then sprayed at a flow rate of 4 ml / min and a pressure of 1 bar.

[0133] The granules recovered after 25 minutes or 30 minu...

[0147] Xylisorb 300 (average particle size: 175.8 μm) crystalline solid xylitol provided by the applicant company was granulated with branched-chain maltodextrin in Example 1 under the same conditions as described in Example 2.

[0148] Table 3 below shows the comparative analysis results of xylitol granules (granule C) prepared by using branched maltodextrin as granulation binder and initial xylitol powder.

Abstract

The invention concerns a method for preparing granules of active substances containing food fibers which consists in granulating said active substances mixed with branched malto-dextrins having between 15 and 35 % of 1-6 glucoside bonds, a reducing sugar content less than 20 %, a polymolecularity index less than 5 and a number average molecular weight Mn equal or less than 4500 g / mol, said branched malto-dextrins constituting between 3 and 13 wt. % of the mixture to be granulated.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the granulation of active substances containing dietary fiber, in particular to a process for granulating active substances containing dietary fiber, which comprises granulation of said active substance and a mixture containing branched maltodextrins, said The content of the branched chain maltodextrin is 3-13% by weight of the granulation mixture. It also relates to the use of these branched maltodextrins as binders for granulation of active substances. Background technique [0002] The term "branched maltodextrin" in the present invention refers to the maltodextrin described in the patent application EP1006128, the applicant of which is the patentee. [0003] The branched-chain maltodextrin has 15-35% of 1-6 glucoside chains, less than 20% of reducing sugar, polymolecular index less than 5, and number-average molecular weight of up to 4500 g / mol. [0004] In addition, the term "active substance" in the present inven...
