ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to novel monosaccharide sweeteners which are capable of acting as laxatives when administered in dose-effective amounts. The present invention also contemplates monosaccharides with laxative properties which have a natural carbohydrate structure. More specifically, the present invention contemplates monosaccharide substances capable of producing laxative effects in humans and having the advantages of being only minimally absorbed from the intestine; and having osmotic laxative effects on the small bowel and colon. The present invention allows for improved laxative formulations with increased palatability and better dosing for all age groups. The present invention can be used to induce mild laxation six to ten hours after ingestion.
