CA 2340103

A carbohydrate mixture for dietetic foods and pharmaceuticals containing several carbohydrates is provided according to the present invention. Said carbohydrate mixture is characterized in that they contain or consist of two different, substantially soluble carbohydrate components A and B, which remain undigested in the gastrointestinal tract and enter the large intestine without being resorbed, that said carbohydrate component A is composed of at least one monosaccharide or of at least one oligosaccharide (disaccharide to hexasaccharide or of a mixture of two or more of these saccharides, that the carbohydrate component B is composed of a polysaccharide (from heptasaccharide onwards) or of a mixture of two or more polysaccharides, that the carbohydrate component A = 5 to 95 wt-% and the carbohydrate component B = 5 to 95 wt-% of the sum of the carbohydrate components A + B (= 100 wt-%), and that at least 80 wt-% of the carbohydrates / saccharides of the carbohydrate components A and B have a prebiotic effect. The inventive carbohydrate mixture have not only a nutritive effect but they also stimulate health-promoting microorganisms present in the natural flora of the large intestine.

L'invention concerne un mélange d'hydrates de carbone destiné à des aliments diététiques et à des produits pharmaceutiques, contenant plusieurs hydrates de carbone. Ce mélange est caractérisé en ce qu'il contient ou est constitué de deux constituants hydrate de carbone A et B, essentiellement solubles, qui demeurent non digérés dans le tractus gastro-intestinal et parviennent jusqu'au gros intestin sans être résorbés. Le constituant hydrate de carbone A contient au moins un monosaccharide ou au moins un oligosaccharide (disaccharide à hexasaccharide) ou un mélange d'au moins deux de ces saccharides, et le constituant hydrate de carbone B contient un polysaccharide (à partir d'un heptasaccharide) ou un mélange d'au moins deux polysaccharides. Le constituant A représente 5 à 95 % en poids et le constituant B 95 à 5 % en poids de la somme des constituants A et B (100 % en poids). Au moins 80 % en poids des hydrates de carbone/saccharides des constituants A et B ont un effet prébiotique. Ces mélanges d'hydrates de carbone présentent non seulement un effet nutritif mais stimulent aussi les micro-organismes bénéfiques pour la santé, présents dans la flore naturelle du gros intestin.
