Oral rehydration formulations are prepared by grinding cereals and/or legumes to a powder which is then cooked with water until gelatinised, acidified to pH 5.5 to 6.0, hydrolysed and filtered, zinc salt is added and the mixture is neutralised and dried. The hydrolysation step may be carried out with a -amylase or with acid alone, the acidification may be carried out with hydrochloric acid and the neutralisation may be carried out with sodium bicarbonate. The cereal may be rice and the legume may be lentils. A suitable zinc salt is zinc citrate. The formulations are suitable for treating diarrhoea and dehydration. |
