ALPHA- (1, 4) LINKED GLUCOSE POLYMERS CONTAINING ORAL COMPOSITIONS TO ALLEVIATE OR PREVENT TOOTH DAMAGE

摘要

Carbohydrate-containing compositions for oral use in the reduction or prevention of tooth damage by plaque acid production having an effective pH of 4.5 or less and comprising at least 1.0% by wieght of an alpha-amylase digestible, alpha-(1,4)-linked polymer of glucose as a source of carbohydrate, in which composition the concentration of mono- and di-saccharides is no greater than 2.0% by weight.
