GRAIN-BASED INFANT FOOD CONTAINING FOOD FIBRE Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A23L1/524 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to food industry and, in particular, may be used for infant food. The nutritional composition has a viscosity equal to 150 - 100000 MPa-s at a temperature of 20°C and at a shear velocity equal to 10 s^-1. The composition contains 10 - 99 wt % of a grain component and 1.0 - 30 wt % of food fibres in terms of dry weight of the nutritional composition. Additionally the composition contains pectins (with polymerisation degree equal to 10 - 300) in an amount of 0.5 - 95 % of the total weight of food fibres and soluble indigestible carbohydrates in an amount of 5 - 95 % of the total weight of food fibres. The soluble indigestible carbohydrates are chosen from among galacto-oligo- and/or polysaccharides including transgalacto-oligo- and/or polysaccharides, xylo-oligo- and/or polysaccharides, gluco-oligo- and/or polysaccharides including gentio-oligosaccharides, malto-oligosaccharides, isomalto-oligosaccharides, stable dextrins and cyclodextrins, arabino-oligosaccharides, mannan-oligosaccharides, galactomanno-oligo- and/or polysaccharides, glucomanno-oligo- and/or polysaccharides, arabinogalacto-oligo- and/or polysaccharides, fructo-oligosaccharides and fructo-polysaccharides. Additionally one proposes versions of the said nutritional compositions, versions of its application and a method for the composition production.

EFFECT: according to the invention the composition consumption allows to control blood glucose level, to reduce afterdinner blood glucose level as well as to enhance the sense of fullness and/or to improve sleep.
