Abstract
The present invention relates to oxaloacetic acid preparations and the use of hygroscopic components to prevent decomposition of the oxaloacetic acid. These compounds can then be made into sublingual lozenges and buccal lozenges to serve as nutritional supplements, medical foods or drugs. These compounds can also be used in the manufacture of oxaloacetic acid preparations in transdermal patches, inhalation preparations and anal or vaginal suppositories. Also provided are simple inexpensive tests to monitor the decomposition of oxaloacetic acid in compositions.
Claims27
A method of adjusting the pH of an oxaloacetic acid composition without inducing decarboxylation of said oxaloacetic acid comprising adding a hygroscopic basic compound.
A composition consisting of an oxaloacetic acid combined with a hygroscopic basic compound for the adjustment of pH.
A method to adjust the taste of an oxaloacetic acid composition to reduce bitterness comprising adding a hygroscopic sweetener.
A composition consisting of an oxaloacetic acid combined with a hygroscopic sweetener compound to reduce bitterness.
A method of producing a compactable lozenge or tablet of an oxaloacetic acid composition without inducing decarboxylation of said oxaloacetic acid comprising adding a hygroscopic binder agent.
A composition consisting of an oxaloacetic acid combined with a hygroscopic binder agent to create a lozenge or tablet.
A method of producing a compactable lozenge or tablet of an oxaloacetic acid composition without inducing decarboxylation of said oxaloacetic acid comprising adding a hygroscopic release agent.
A composition consisting of an oxaloacetic acid combined with a hygroscopic release agent to create a lozenge or tablet.
A method to detect the decomposition of an oxaloacetic acid composition in a sealed container, without the need to open the sealed container, comprising detecting a bulge in the packaging.
A method to detect the decomposition of an oxaloacetic acid composition comprising comparing the color of said composition to a calibrated color chart.
A composition comprising an oxaloacetic acid with a set of other components, wherein said set of other components consist of white compounds, allowing said combination of matter to be measured for said oxaloacetic acid decomposition with a calibrated color chart.
A composition comprising an oxaloacetic acid in combination with one or more components selected from a group of a hygroscopic pH modifier, a hygroscopic taste modifier, a hygroscopic binding agent, and a hygroscopic release agent.
