Abstract
The present invention relates to dietary compositions and oral compositions having an anti-dental caries function. The present invention provides dietary compositions and oral compositions having an anti-dental caries functions which contain a buffering agent having a pH buffering action in the oral cavity.
Claims21
-2. (canceled)
A dietary composition having an anti-dental caries function, wherein the composition comprises a buffering agent having a pH buffering action in the oral cavity, wherein the buffering agent is selected from the group consisting of:
- phosphorylated oligosaccharides or sugar alcohol thereof, wherein the phosphorylated oligosaccharides are glucan consisting of 3 to 5 glucoses with α-1,4 linkages, one phosphate group being linked to the glucan, or glucan consisting of 2 to 8 glucoses with α-1,4 linkages, two phosphate groups being linked to the glucan;
- chondroitin sulfate;
- and
- chondroitin sulfate oligosaccharides.
-9. (canceled)
A dietary composition having an anti-dental caries function, wherein the composition comprises a buffering agent having a pH buffering action in the oral cavity, a phosphorus-calcium compensating agent, a phosphorus preparation, and/or a calcium preparation, wherein the buffering agent is selected from the group consisting of:
- phosphorylated oligosaccharides or sugar alcohol thereof, wherein the phosphorylated oligosaccharides are glucan consisting of 3 to 5 glucoses with a−1,4, linkages, one phosphate group being linked to the glucan, or glucan consisting of 2 to 8 glucoses with α-1,4 linkages, two phosphate groups being linked to the glucan;
- chondroitin sulfate;
- and
- chondroitin sulfate oligosaccharides.
-16. (canceled)
An oral composition having an anti-dental caries function, wherein the composition comprises a buffering agent having a pH buffering action in the oral cavity, wherein the buffering agent is selected from the group consisting of:
- phosphorylated oligosaccharides or sugar alcohol thereof, wherein the phosphorylated oligosaccharides are glucan consisting of 3 to 5 glucoses with α-1,4 linkages, one phosphate group being linked to the glucan, or glucan consisting of 2 to 8 glucoses with α-1,4 linkages, two phosphate groups being linked to the glucan;
- chondroitin sulfate;
- and
- chondroitin sulfate oligosaccharides.
-23. (canceled)
An oral composition having an anti-dental caries function, wherein the composition comprises a buffering agent having a pH buffering action in the oral cavity, a phosphorus-calcium compensating agent, a phosphorus preparation, and/or a calcium preparation, wherein the buffering agent is selected from the group consisting of:
- phosphorylated oligosaccharides or sugar alcohol thereof, wherein the phosphorylated oligosaccharides are glucan consisting of 3 to 5 glucoses with α-1,4 linkages, one phosphate group being linked to the glucan, or glucan consisting of 2 to 8 glucoses with α-1,4 linkages, two phosphate groups being linked to the glucan;
- chondroitin sulfate;
- and
- chondroitin sulfate oligosaccharides.
