Patent

CA 2041391

Soluble bulking agents for replacing up to 100% of the sucrose or other soluble, simple carbohydrates in edible formulations are provided. The bulking agents are substantially non-digestible and have an average molecular weight range of 500 to 50,000. Also provided are edible formulations containing these bulking agents and processes for preparing these bulking agents, preferably by enzymatically depolymerizing naturally-occurring, heteropolysaccharides such as pectin, tamarind seed gum, guar gum, locust bean (carob seed) gum, konjac gum, xanthan gum, alginates, agar or other food gums to yield a mixture of heteropolysaccharide fragments having an average DP of 3 to 75, preferably 3 to 30. The process employs one or more enzymes such as 1,4-beta-D-Mannanmannohydrolyase, or 1,6-alpha-D-Galactosidase for degrading 1,4-beta-D-linked mannose-containing heteropolysaccharides (e.g., guar gum); or one or more enzymes such as 1,4-beta-D-Glucanase, 1,4-beta-DGlucanglucanohydrolase, and 1,4-beta-D- Glucanglucohydralyase or 1,4-beta-D-glucan cellobiohydrolase for degrading 1,4-beta-D-linked glucose-containing heteropolysaccharides (e.g., tamarind seed gum).

L'invention concerne des agents de charge solubles permettant de remplacer jusqu'à 100 % du sucrose ou d'autres glucides solubles simples dans les formulations alimentaires. Les agents de charge sont pratiquement non digestibles et ont une masse molaire moyenne de 500 à 50000. On décrit également des formulations alimentaires renfermant ces agents de charge et des procédés pour préparer lesdits agents, de préférence par dépolymérisation enzymatique d'hétéropolysaccharides naturels, comme la pectine, la gomme du tamarin, la gomme de guar, la gomme de caroube (graine de caroube), la gomme de konjac, la gomme de xanthane, les alginates, l'agar et d'autres gommes alimentaires, donnant un mélange de fragments d'hétéropolysaccharides avec une moyenne de 3 à 75 DP, et de préférence 3 à 30. Le procédé utilise une ou plusieurs enzymes, comme la 1,4-bêta-D-mannanemannohydrolase ou la 1,6-alpha-D-galactosidase pour dégrader des hétéropolysaccharides contenant du 1,4-bêta-D-mannose lié (p. ex. gomme de guar); ou une ou plusieurs enzymes, comme la 1,4-bêta-D-glucanase, la 1,4-bêta-D-glucaneglucanohydrolase, et la 1,4-bêta-D-glucaneglucohydrolase ou la 1,4-bêta-D-glucanecellobiohydrolase, pour dégrader des hétéropolysaccharides contenant du 1,4-bêta-D-glucose lié (p. ex. la gomme du tamarin).
