ABSTRACT This specification discloses oral or edible compositions and their manufacture. It includes foods and pharmaceutical preparations containing sugar and very little water. In particular it discloses hygienic agents for tooth and mouth care. It is known that in the oral cavity foodstuffs, beverages and medicaments with a high sugar content lead, in the presence of micro-organisms, to the formation of so-called "plaques" and acid decomposition products which severely attach tooth enamel. This effect is known by the name caries. Caries is understood to be an initial attack on the surface of teeth which are then progressively destroyed by cavities being formed therein. Thus the specification discloses an edible or oral composition which composition contains sugar and very little water and having a content of the enzymes lactate dehydrogenase and saccharose - inverting enzyme which limits promotion of tooth decay. It appears that by adding lactate dehydrogenase in combination with a sucrose-inverting enzyme, an inhibition system is incorporated into foodstuffs and con- fectionery of low water content or containing no water, and when these products are eaten, this system counteracts the harmful effect, in the presence of cariogenic bacteria, of the products formed by the decomposition of sugars, and converts the food- stuffs, in particular confectionery, and the pharmaceutical preparations into non-cariogenic or anticariogenic foodstuffs and pharmaceutical preparations which are not harmful to teeth. This preferably comprises foodstuffs with a residual moisture content of 0.1 to 2%. It includes foodstuffs which contain a proportion of naturally occurring sugars, such as sucrose, glucose, fructose and the like, as well as sugar alcohols, as - a - sugar substitutes. Foodstuffs containing sucrose are particularly preferred. If appropriate, foodstuffs or con- fectionery or pharmaceutical preparations which contain no customary sugars can be used. These can be materials which are sweetened on the basis of sugar substitutes, for example saccharin, cyclamate, protein sweeteners extracted from tropical plants, xylitol and the like. The sugar containing foodstuff is intended in particular to comprise confectionery, such as bakery products, sweets, chewing gum, etc. - b -
