ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to nutritional drink compositions. More specifically, the invention is a powdered food supplement that is mixed with water to prepare a liquid drink for diabetic people in order to maintain proper nutrition and weight management, while controlling and stabilizing blood sugar levels.
2. Description of the Related Art
The related art of interest describes various nutritional liquid compositions, but none discloses the present invention. There is a distinct need for diabetic people to have nutritious flavored drink compositions that help maintain blood sugar levels and which will not add excessive calories, but still have adequate nutritional value and an attractive taste. The related art will be discussed in the order of perceived relevance to the present invention.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,241,996 B1 issued on Jun. 5, 2001, to Douglas E. Hahn and a corresponding U.S. Patent Application Publication No. U.S. 2001/0018066 A1 published Aug. 30, 2001, describe liquid soy products for oral and enteral administration comprising (1) 4-10 wt. % soybean protein isolate or 1-5 wt. % soy protein concentrate; (2) 18-30 wt. % of a carbohydrate having a dextrose equivalent of 20-30 selected from corn syrup, corn syrup solids, maltodextrin, fructose, sucrose, glucose, and mixtures thereof; (3) up to 0.5 wt. % gum selected from kappa, iota or lambda carrageenan, guar gum, locust bean gum, and mixtures thereof; (4) 0.05-0.30 wt. % trimagnesium phosphate as a protein stabilizer; (5) vitamins, minerals, flavors, fiber, sweeteners, coloring agents, antibiotics, enzymes, bulking agents, medicaments, and mixtures thereof; and (6) water. The compositions are distinguishable for requiring trimagnesium phosphate, and are not designed for diabetic people.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,985,339 issued on Nov. 16, 1999, to A. Reza Kamarei describes refrigeration-shelf-stable and ready-to-drink complete nutritional compositions comprising (a) 10-25% of daily carbohydrate; (b) 5-40% of the daily value of protein; (c) 20-50% of the daily value of vitamins A, B6, B12, D, and K, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, folate, biotin, pantothenic acid, phosphorus, iodine, magnesium, zinc, selenium, copper, manganese, chromium, and molybdenum; (d) 5-25% of daily requirement of potassium; (e) 0.1-20% of daily requirement of sodium; (f) 20-80% of vitamins C and E, and calcium; and (g) 5-40% of daily value of chloride; and (h) wherein the total calorie content is 5-20% of the daily value based on a 2,000 calorie diet. The composition is distinguishable for being limited to a refrigerated composition, and being based on a rigid daily calorie diet.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,150,399 issued on Nov. 21, 2000, and U.S. Pat. No. 6,372,782 B1 issued on Apr. 16, 2002, to Gauravkumar C. Patel et al. describe calcium enriched soy-based nutritional products comprising (1) at least 0.7 mg. isoflavones/gm. soy protein, (2) at least 0.5 mg. genistein (an isoflavone)/gm. soy protein, (3) at least 35% of the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDI) of calcium and a soluble calcium source less than 100 ppm, (4) a lipid system containing 20% corn oil, 40% oleic safflower oil, and 40% canola oil; (5) a stabilizer system containing 1500-2500 ppm cellulose gel and carrageenan; (6) a carbohydrate system containing 35-40% corn syrup, 15-22% maltodextrin, and 43-45% sucrose; (7) vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C, D, E, K, beta-carotene, biotin, folic acid, pantothenic acid, niacin, and choline; and (8) minerals magnesium, potassium, sodium, phosphorous, iron, zinc, manganese, copper, iodine, chromium, molybdenum, and selenium. The dietary compositions are distinguishable for their emphasis on calcium and carbohydrates.
U.S. Patent Publication No. 2002/0039619 A1 published on Apr. 4, 2002, for Charles W. Monagle describes a liquid or dry nutritional food product comprising (a) at least 60% soy protein; (b) a combined monosaccharide and sucrose content of at least 10% of dry matter; (c) a combined raffinose and stachyose content of less than 5% of dry matter; and (d) being free of glactinol. The soy is not from low oligosaccharide soybeans. The product is treated with an enzyme such as alpha-glycosidase. The food product is distinguishable for requiring enzyme processing.
U.S. Statutory Invention Registration No. H1620 published on Dec. 3, 1996, for Kenneth M. Dolan et al. describes a dry chocolate flavored beverage mix composition comprising by weight %: (a) 3-13% cocoa powder; (b) 40-60% sucrose; (c) 3-5% caramel powder; (d) 10-20 malt extract; (e) 0.25-1.0% sodium chloride; (f) 10-32% powdered non-dairy creamer containing 40-60% vegetable fat; (g) 0.02% carboxymethylcellulose; (h) up to 1.0% lecithin; (i) an effective amount of an antioxidant such as butylated hydroxyanisole, butylated hydroxytoluene and mixtures thereof; (j) up to 6% water; (k) up to 6% of a protein source such as soy protein concentrate, soy protein isolate, pea protein, corn protein, rice protein, lactalbumin, casein, whey solids, dehydrated milk powder, non-fat milk powder, and whey protein concentrate; (1) vitamins A, C, D, E, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, and folic acid; and (m) minerals such as iron, iodine, calcium, magnesium, zinc, potassium, and phosphorous. The composition is distinguishable for requiring large contents of sugar and malt.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,653,912 issued on Apr. 4, 1972, to William E. Koski et al. describes a dispersed soy product in water beverage prepared by adding to soy milk, sodium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, ammonia or tri-sodium phosphate to raise the pH to 12 and adding citric acid or phosphoric acid to reduce the pH to 7 or 8. The solution is spray dried to a powder and added to milk, orange juice or water to form the beverage. The soy product is distinguishable for requiring acid and base treatment of soy milk.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,858,449 issued on Jan. 12, 1999, to Donald L. Crank et al. describes an isoflavone-enriched soy protein composition for addition to infant formulas, nutritional beverages, milk replacements, soy extended bolognas, imitation processed cheese spreads, water-injected hams, yogurts, and frozen desserts. The primary object of the processing of soy protein isolate was to reduce the objectionable soy taste. The manufacturing process requires numerous heating and solids separation steps to obtain the desired product with less soy taste. The composition is distinguishable for being limited to a processed soy product.

Bell et al. describes a nutritional supplement composition in the form of a non-baked extruded bar for preoperative feeding containing (1) 10-75 gm. carbohydrate (corn syrup, corn starch, sugars, etc.); (2) 5-50 gm. protein (whey, egg, soy protein, and soy protein isolate); (3) 3-30 gm. fats and oils (soybean oil, butter, canola oil, corn oil, sesame seed oil, olive oil, fish oil, etc.) ; and (4) a therapeutic amount of an antioxidant, i.e., vitamins A, C and E. The solid composition is distinguishable for required high amounts of carbohydrates, oils and fats.
