A consumable gel for health ingredients

Abstract

An oral dosage form is disclosed. The dosage form includes an ingredient requiring taste masking, a first gelling agent, which is an agarose-based polymer gelling agent present in concentrations of between 0.001 g (1 mg) and 0.03 g (30 mg) per gram of water which concentration ensures hydration of, and the formation of, a firm gel with a bloom grade of between 100 and 250, and which does not exhibit plastic behaviour upon stress, but rather behaves elastically upon stress, to a failure point where the structure of the gel breaks or shears to irreversibly create new interfaces, making it more fluid when ingested, such that it is a drinkable gel. An oil/water emulsion including at least one lipid-based carrier, water, and an emulsifier. The oil/water emulsion comprises at least 14% by weight of the lipid-based carrier, based on the water content.
