The novel compositions of this invention can be used as colorants or additives for food, beverages, animal feeds, cosmetics or drugs. The colorant composition may be a liquid or a solid composition. The solid composition comprises at least one carotenoid which is dispersed in a matrix, wherein the matrix contains at least one carbohydrate and/or one modified carbohydrate and optionally, a protein, a modified protein or mixtures thereof, wherein the at least one carbohydrate and/or one modified carbohydrate is starch or modified starch, wherein the amount of starch or modified starch is from about 10 wt-% to 60 wt-% of based on the total weight of the matrix, and wherein the concentration of the at least one carotenoid is at least 2% based on the total weight of the composition. Preferably β-carotene is used as a solid water-dispersible colorant composition.

Description

  • The present invention relates to novel compositions containing finely dispersed carotenoids. The novel compositions of this invention can be used as colorants or additives for food, beverages, animal feeds, cosmetics or drugs.
  • The colorant composition may be a liquid or a solid composition. Preferably β-carotene is used as a solid water-dispersible colorant composition. The liquid colorant compositions may be a stable aqueous dispersion of β-carotene. In order to achieve an intermediate color hue, these compositions may optionally contain another coloring compound, e.g. another carotenoid such as β-zeacarotene, canthaxanthin, 8′-apo-β-carotenal, 8′-apo-β-carotenoic acid ethyl ester, lycopene, astaxanthin, lutein and zeaxanthin.
  • Solid water-dispersible colorant compositions are compositions wherein β-carotene is finely dispersed in a matrix or carrier. The matrix or carrier can be any matrix or carrier conventionally used for formulation of carotenoids. For example, the carrier can be a carbohydrate, a modified carbohydrate, a protein, a modified protein, or a mixture thereof.
  • The preparation of such colorant compositions for use in the present invention can be carried out in a manner known per se for the preparation of carotenoid and fat soluble vitamin compositions for use in food and beverages, e.g. as disclosed in European patent publications nos. 0 347 751, 0 966 889, 1066 761, 1 106 174 and International patent application WO 98/15195, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
  • A preferred procedure to prepare a colorant composition in accordance with the present invention is to prepare a solution of β-carotene and an oil-soluble antioxidant in a triglyceride and, optionally, an organic solvent, e.g., a chlorinated hydrocarbon and to emulsify the oily solution in an aqueous solution prepared from a protective hydrocolloid carrier such as a protein, a polysaccharide or a modified polysaccharide or mixtures thereof, a carbohydrate and, optionally, a water-soluble antioxidant, removing the organic solvent if required, e.g. by evaporation.
  • The so-obtained oil-in-water dispersion can be converted into a solid composition, e.g. a dry powder using conventional technologies such as spray-drying, spray drying in combination with fluidized-bed granulation (the latter technique commonly known as fluidized spray drying or FSD), or by a powder-catch technique where sprayed emulsion droplets are caught in a bed of an absorbant such as starch and subsequently dried.
  • Well known solid colorant compositions containing β-carotene in amount of approximately 1 wt-% and having an orange shade. Such compositions are dispersible in water and generate a yellow shade in food, beverages, animal feeds, cosmetics or drugs. For economical reasons it would be advantageous to increase the carotenoid concentration in this type of water-dispersible compositions. It is therefore an object of the invention to suggest a new water-dispersible colorant composition with a comparable color shade but with an increased carotenoid concentration.
  • It is generally known that colorant compositions for use in beverages should have high color intensity as well as a relatively high turbidity. It has now been found, surprisingly, that variation of the content of starch or modified starch, if this compound is used as part of the carrier or matrix, has an effect on color intensity and turbidity, on the red color value and on particle size. It has been further found that by using 10% to 60% of starch or modified starch based on the total weight of the carrier or matrix, the concentration of β carotene can be increased to at least 2%, preferably to 2% to 10%, more preferably to 2% to 5% based on the total weight of the composition, wherein the final composition has still sufficient properties in relation to color intensity and turbidity.
  • The stated object of the invention is therefore achieved by a colorant composition according to claim 1.
  • Advantageous embodiments of the invention become evident from the dependent claims.
  • The term “carotenoid” as used herein comprises a carotene or structurally related polyene compound which can be used as a colorant for food, beverages, animal feeds, cosmetics or drugs. Examples of such carotenoids are α- or β-carotene, 8′-apo-β-carotenal, 8′-apo-β-carotenoic acid esters such as the ethyl ester, canthaxanthin, astaxanthin, lycopene, lutein, zeaxanthin or crocetin, or mixtures thereof. As already mentioned, the preferred carotenoid is β-carotene.
  • The carrier or matrix which is present in the composition of the present invention contains in addition to food starch or modified food starch, e.g. sodium octenyl succinyl starch, octenylbutanedioate amylodextrin (CapSul™), a polysaccharide gum such as gum Arabic, or a maltodextrin, or a protein such as gelatin, e.g. fish gelatin or swine or bovine gelatin, or a plant protein, or a milk protein or a ligninsulfonate or mixtures thereof.
  • Suitably, the novel compositions of this invention further contain adjuvants and/or excipients such as one or more of a mono- di-, oligo- or polysaccharide, a triglyceride, a water-soluble antioxidant, and/or one or more of a fat-soluble antioxidant. Solid compositions may also contain an anti-caking agent, such as silicic acid, and water.
  • Examples of mono- and disaccharides which may be present in the compositions of the present invention are sucrose, invert sugar, glucose, fructose, lactose, maltose and sugar alcohols.

    • EXAMPLE 2 Preparation of a Colorant Composition
  • a) Preparation of Solution A:
  • To 530 g of deionized water in a 1.51 reaction vessel a dry premix of 80.8 g Arabic Gum and 244.7 modified starch (Capsul™) was added at 80° C. The mixture was stirred under inert atmosphere at 72° C. and the pH of the aqueous solution was kept at about 3.9. After complete dissolution of the solids 7.2 g Na-ascorbate, 43.4 g sucrose and 175.o g Maltodextrin DE-2023 were added to the mixture.
  • b) Preparation of Solution B:
  • 144.6 g of a middle chain triglyceride (Bergabest MCT-Oil 60/40 of Berg+Schmidt) and 0.72 g of dl-α-tocopherol were introduced into a reaction flask. Under inert atmosphere, 25.3 g of crystalline β-carotene and a magnetic stirrer bar was added. The suspension was gently stirred and, at the same time, heated to 170° C. After keeping the mixture at this temperature for about 60 seconds the mixture was re-cooled to about 85° C.
  • c) Preparation of Emulsion:
  • While vigorously stirring, solution B was added to solution A at 72° C. and the emulsion was vigorously stirred for about 15 to 20 minutes. A fine emulsion was obtained by a three passage high pressure homogenizing treatment of the preemulsion at a pressure of 50/300 bar (APV-La 1000 Homogenizer).
  • d) Spray Drying:
  • To the emulsion 0.2 wt-% of silicic acid (Aerosil 200) was added and at about 65° C. the emulsion was then spray dried in a laboratory spray drier for about 1 hr at an inlet temperature of about 200° C. and an outlet temperature of about 80° C. The spray-dried powder was dried in a vacuum oven at room temperature over night.
  • e) Analysis:
  • The mean particle size of the pre-emulsion was about 500-600 nm as measured by photon correlation spectroscopy (Coulter N4 Plus) and the β-carotene content of the powder was 2.9% as determined by spectrophotometry and HPLC-analysis, respectively. The color values L*=87.6, a*=−8 and b*=54 were measured according the CIE-system for a 5 ppm dispersion. Based upon the values of a* and b* a color hue angle h*=82° at a saturation c*=55 can be calculated.
