Definitions

• the invention provides a breakfast replacement beverage for children comprising a fibre, vitamin C, calcium and protein.
• the invention provides a process for preparing a breakfast replacement beverage according to the invention.
• the fibre may be provided in the form of a fibre composition comprising a fibre component, together with other kinds of carbohydrates.
• the fibre composition is an edible carbohydrate composition derived from starch that is digestion resistant or slowly digestible by the human digestive system and which is soluble in water, as defined above.
• Such a fibre composition may have an available carbohydrate fraction and a fibre component in the form of a non-digestible carbohydrate fraction.
• the non-digestible oligosaccharide fraction (the fibre) is made of linear and non-linear saccharide oligomers, as defined below, while the available carbohydrate fraction is made of monosaccharides, as defined below.
• the fibre in the form of a fibre composition as defined above, preferably a corn fibre composition is that the fibre does not hinder the solubility of the composition.
• the breakfast replacement beverage of the present invention comprising a fibre composition, preferably a soluble corn fibre composition in powder form can advantageously be dispersed in water, even at room temperature, such as at 25°C.
• the above described soluble fibre, preferably corn fibre is advantageous in that it does not cause significant viscosity increase of the beverage, compared to the same beverage without fibre. Viscosity increase would be detrimental to a beverage such as encompassed in the present invention, because children having little appetite in the morning may be reluctant to consume a high viscosity beverage.
• vitamin C is preferably present in an amount of 1.5 to 130 mg, preferably of 2.5 to 97.5 mg, for example 7 mg per serving.
• the breakfast replacement beverage of the present invention also comprises calcium, preferably in an amount of 100 to 500 mg, for example 265 mg per serving. Such amounts of vitamin C and calcium are particularly adapted to children between 4 and 8 years old at breakfast to prepare them for an active day, such as a school day.
• Full cream milk is advantageous in the case where the breakfast replacement beverage is in powder form, because it has a positive impact on the dispersibility of the powder upon reconstitution with water.
• the intensity of this positive effect is most prominent when the product in powder form is produced by dry-mixing the ingredients compared to when it is produced by spray-drying of ingredient provided in a wet mix.
• Available carbohydrates are preferably present, more preferably in an amount of from 10 to 25g, preferably 15 to 20g, for example about 18g of available carbohydrates per serving. Such levels of available carbohydrates are useful to provide an adequate source of rapidly available energy for the child at the start of the day.
• sugar such as sucrose
• sugar is preferably present in the beverage of the present invention.
• the presence of sugar also has the beneficial effect of being appealing to the child and thus has the advantage of motivating the child, who would naturally not be willing to have breakfast, to get the required nutrients before leaving to school.
• the total amount of available carbohydrates includes the available carbohydrate fraction of the fibre composition, if such fibre composition is not made of non-digestible oligosaccharides (i.e. fibre) only, as well as any added available carbohydrates.
• the breakfast replacement beverage of the present invention preferably further comprises other nutrients such as minerals and vitamins, which are advantageously provided at breakfast.
• These include iron, zinc, vitamin E, niacin, vitamin B6, vitamin B1 , vitamin B2, folic acid, vitamin B12, vitamin A and vitamin D.
• Iron can be incorporated, for example in an amount of 2.1 to 8.0 mg, more preferably 1 .0 to 6.0 mg, for example about 1 .7 mg per serving.
• Zinc can be incorporated, for example in an amount of 1 .65 to 2.4 mg, preferably 0.5 to 1.8 mg, for example about 0.64 mg per serving.
• Vitamin E can be incorporated, for example in an amount of 0.7 to 45 mg, for example about 1 .05 mg per serving.
• the breakfast replacement beverage of the present invention can also be used for the purpose of preventing a child from fasting in the morning.
• the beverage of the present invention has appealing hedonic properties it is more wilfully consumed as breakfast than a traditional eatable breakfast, such as breakfast cereals.
• the present invention advantageously relates to a breakfast replacement beverage for use in a method from preventing a child from fasting in the morning.
• it relates to a method for preventing a child from fasting in the morning comprising administering a composition of the invention to a child.
• Table 1 Composition of the breakfast replacement beverage
