Patent number: 4851392Abstract: The present invention relates to an ingestible aggregate comprising a pre-swelled substantially anhydrous hydrocolloid and a substrate. More particularly this invention relates to an aggregate having as a substrate a dietary fiber and/or drug wherein the composition can be administered in a therapeutically effective amount. Hydrocolloids useful include natural and modified gums, celluloses, modified celluloses, pectins, mucillages, modified starches, noncellulose polysaccharides, algal polysaccharides and mixtures thereof. The aggregate should be in the size range of about 4 to about 70 U.S. mesh. The unpleasant taste and mouthfeel of the fiber and/or drug is effectively masked and substantial hydration is delayed until the composition reaches the stomach. The compositions are substantially more platable, devoid of graininess, bitterness or fibrous texture. The pleasant taste of the composition encourages patient compliance with their fiber or drug therapy.Type: GrantFiled: February 29, 1988Date of Patent: July 25, 1989Assignee: Warner-Lambert CompanyInventors: James J. Shaw, Shri C. Sharma

Patent number: 4828857Abstract: A method of preparing a delivery system wherein in the core material is a sweetener, flavoring or the like and is protected by a matrix coating which process comprises:(A) forming an agglomerate of the core material in a hydrophobic matrix coating comprising the steps of melting the hydrophobic coating and dispersing the core material uniformly therein; feeding the dispersion into a heat controlled high pressure spray nozzle; atomizing the dispersion under controlled pressure to maintain the particle size between about 200 to about 30 mesh; collecting the congealed, dry spherical-like particles; and(B) coating the agglomerated particles by conducting the particles through a stream of air passing through a zone of atomized droplets of a second hydrophobic material.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 1987Date of Patent: May 9, 1989Assignee: Warner-Lambert CompanyInventors: Shri C. Sharma, Robert K. Yang, James J. Shaw
