Description

A NUTRIENT BEVERAGE
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to carbonated and non-carbonated beverage compositions and beverage concentrates adapted for oral administration which include vitamins, minerals and optionally other supplements.
BACKGROUND ART Vitamin and mineral supplements are well known. Such supplements may be in the form of tablets or capsules. A disadvantage of capsules or tablets is that they are unsuitable for those who have difficulty swallowing.
Also, there is a delay between ingestion and the active ingredients entering the blood stream. This is caused by the time taken for the tablet or capsule to dissolve in the stomach. To overcome these difficulties, effervescent tablets have been proposed. Such tablets are typically designed to be added to a glass of water. However, the dissolved effervescent tablets suffer from palatable problems. This is because many vitamins and/or minerals have an unpleasant flavor. Although flavoring and masking agents are typically employed in an attempt to make these supplements palatable, they are still not considered to be sufficiently palatable for a person to drink them recreationally.
It would therefore be desirable to be able to formulate a vitamin and mineral supplement in the form of a beverage which has an appealing taste.
An advantage of providing a beverage is that after exercise it is desirable to replenish not only fluids but also nutrients. Beverages designed to facilitate rehydration are known. However, such beverages have a very low pH, typically about 2.8 to about 3. The beverages are formulated with such a low pH to make them palatable. Humans prefer acidic beverages and this is exemplified by the fact that wines and beers all have a pH of below about 3.4. A disadvantage of such a low pH is that they have an erosive effect on teeth. This leads to erosive and abrasion lesions of the teeth. Saliva can have a buffering affect on the acids. However, saliva levels can be depleted when an individual becomes dehydrated such as after exercise, and this is when these types of beverages are most often consumed.
There have been a number of attempts to overcome the difficulties associated with dental erosion. These approaches center around providing additives to the beverage to combat the erosion. An example of such an additive is simply providing a calcium supplement. Such additives may however have an adverse affect on the taste. Further, the beverage still has a low pH. A low pH may irritate the stomach and cause gastric problems. Also, acidic drinks can exacerbate a condition known as metabolic acidosis which is found in strenuous physical activity. Again, it is after activity that such drinks are most often consumed in large amounts.
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a beverage, or a concentrate therefore which may at least partially overcome the above disadvantages or provide the public with a useful choice. According to a first broad form of the invention there is provided a beverage which comprises a fruit juice product, a vitamin and/or mineral supplement, a flavoring agent, an edible acid and/or an edible salt thereof and water, wherein the pH of the beverage is at least about 5.0.
The fruit juice product may be in a single-strength, ready-to-serve, drinkable form. In this case, the beverage may contain between about 5 to about 50 parts per 100 by volume fruit juice. Typically the beverage may contain between about 15 to about 25 parts by volume fruit juice. As fruit juice has a pH of about 3.0 to about 3.5 it is preferred that the amount of fruit juice in the beverage does not exceed about 50 parts by volume. Fruit juice products may also include concentrated products which are referred to as "nectars". Nectars usually have added sugars or artificial sweeteners or carbohydrate substitutes. Alternatively, the fruit juice product may be in the form of a concentrate. Concentrates are products which, when diluted with the appropriate amount of water, form drinkable fruit juice beverages. Powdered or granulated fruit juice concentrates may also be included in the beverage of the invention.
The nature and level of the vitamin and/or mineral supplement may vary according to the requirements of the end user. For example, a beverage intended for an endurance athlete may include higher levels of some ingredients than a beverage primarily intended for recreational use or vice versa. Typically, the beverage will include conventional vitamin components, most preferably in sufficient amounts such that the total daily dose contains the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of one or more of such vitamin components for adults. Conventional vitamin components include vitamin A (eg. as the acetate or palmitate), vitamin D (eg. as cholecalciferol), vitamin Bi (eg. as thiamine mononitrate), vitamin B2 (eg. as riboflavin), vitamin Be (eg. as pyridoxine hydrochloride), vitamin B12 (eg. as cyanocobalamin), vitamin C (eg. as ascorbic acid or sodium ascorbate), vitamin D, vitamin E (eg. as the d1- alpha tocopheryl acetate), folic acid and niacin. Optionally, additional vitamins, such as vitamin K (eg. as phytonadione), biotin, and pantothenic acid (eg. as calcium pantothenate) may also be included. The beverage may also include the minerals manganese, iron, molydenum, phosphorous, magnesium, calcium, selenium, boron, copper, and molydenum. These minerals are typically provided in a water soluble, bioavailable form.
A unit dosage of the beverage of about 500ml would typically contain about one half the recommended daily dosage of the vitamins and minerals. The beverage may also include other agents believed to be beneficial to human health such as bioflavonoids. The beverage may also contain carbohydrates such as glucose.
The beverage may also contain a flavoring agent. Flavoring agents are well known in the art. Preferred flavoring agents are those which are suitably used for masking and/or flavoring the effervescent type vitamin and mineral supplements as described above. These are well known in the art. The relative amount of the flavoring agent will vary, depending upon the nature of the agent, the desired flavor, the amount required to mask any unpleasant tasting vitamins or minerals, and the flavor of the fruit juice.
The beverage may also contain an edible acid in an amount such that the pH of the beverage is at least about 5.0. Edible acids are weak acids and thus have a buffering capacity. In this way the beverage may be buffered to about the desired pH. Suitable acids are carboxylic acids and include citric, tartaric, malic, succinic, adipic and fumaric acid. The acids may be present as the free acid, an acid salt or a mixture thereof. Preferably the acid is present at least partially in the form of a sodium or potassium salt.
The beverage may be formulated as either a still or a carbonated drink.
The beverage may also be in the form of a concentrate which may be mixed with water. The concentrate may be in a liquid form, in which case the fruit juice product is a fruit juice concentrate or a powdered or granulated form in which the fruit juice product is in a dehydrated form. The dry concentrate may also be formulated without the fruit juice product for admixture with a dilute fruit juice.
The dry concentrate may be provided in a free flowing form and a user may measure out a predetermined amount for adding to a predetermined amount of water. Alternatively, the free flowing concentrate may be packaged in satchels. The concentrate may also be formulated into a tablet and suitably the tablet includes an alkali metal bicarbonate and/or carbonate so as to form an effervescent couple with an edible carboxylic acid. The bicarbonate may also react with an edible carboxylic acid to produce a buffer. For example, sodium bicarbonate will react with citric acid to produce sodium citrate.
In another form of the invention there is provided a beverage concentrate for mixing with water, the concentrate comprising a dehydrated fruit juice product, a vitamin and/or mineral supplement, a flavoring agent, an edible acid and optionally an alkaline carbonate, the amount of fruit juice powder and edible acid being in an amount such that when the concentrates are added to a predetermined amount of water, the pH of the solution is at least about 5.0.
Typically, the concentrate is added to water. However, the concentrate may also be added to fruit juice diluted with water. In this case the above composition may be modified to exclude the dehydrated fruit juice.
The beverage or concentrate of any of the above forms of the invention may also include an electrolyte supplement. Electrolytes are often included in drinks intended for consumption by athletes. Such electrolytes include potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, bicarbonate, phosphate and sulfate.
The beverage may also contain a sweetener which may be a natural sweetener such as sugar or an artificial sweetener. Such sweeteners are well known in the beverage art. A preferred sweetener is honey or brown sugar.
BEST MODE By way of example only, a beverage of the present invention may be formulated according to the following formula: Whole fruit juice 200ml
Vitamin A 10000 IU
Vitamin D 360 IU
Vitamin Bi 20mg
Vitamin B2 5mg Vitamin Be 10mg
Vitamin B12 5rø
Vitamin C 150mg

Vitamin Be 25mg
Brown sugar 2-5g Filtered water to 1 000ml
The pH of the above solution is about 5.3.
The beverage formulated according to the above formula is surprisingly and unexpectedly palatable considering the pH is significantly higher than other beverages on the market. By way of example, popular beverages such as Gatorade, Powerade and Iso-sport have a pH of 2.9, 2.9 and 3.0 respectively.
The beverage of the present invention has a pH which will cause significantly less dental erosion than those beverages having a pH of about
3.0. Further as the level of hydrogen ions is much lower, the beverage of the invention is less likely to cause gastric upsets as a result of excessive acid.
Further, the beverage may be able to counter metabolic acidosis as found in strenuous physical activity.
It will be appreciated that the relative amounts of vitamins, minerals and electrolytes in the above formula may be varied according to anticipated use for example whether to be used as a recreational supplement or by an endurance athlete. Still further, it is believed that the wide range of vitamins, minerals and other micro-nutrients in the above formula may enhance physical performance under stress or fatigue conditions.
