  • Polysaccharide agglomerate and method of preparation
    Patent number: 4675312
    Abstract: A polysaccharide agglomerate formed from flour including galactomannans, such as guar and/or carob bean flour and an agglomeration agent, such as animal and/or vegetable products with high water-retention capacity is provided. The polysaccharide agglomerate is readily administered in dry form and rinsed down with liquid. This liquid taken to rinse down the agglomerate and intestinal secretions, independent of pH, cause the agglomerate to swell reaching full viscose volume after three to four hours.
