Abstract
Health bars are provided having high dosages of at least one of the amino acids L-arginine and L-lysine in conjunction with fruit solids and paste, protein and carbohydrates. A number of different fruit sources may be used, grapes finding particular use, and soy being a useful source of proteins. The bars are made by preparing a syrup at an elevated temperature, adding a fruit paste and cooling, followed by the addition of minor ingredients and mixing, the amino acids and a portion of the protein and mixing, followed by the remaining ingredients and formation as a bar.
Claims18
A heart healthy bar substantially homogeneous and comprising at least about 2 weight % of at least one of amino acids L-arginine and L-lysine or their physiologically acceptable salts in combination with from about 20 to 50 weight % of protein, 20 to 50 weight % of fruit as paste and solids, from 10 to 35 weight % of carbohydrates, less than 10 weight % lipids, and 0 to 5 weight % of dietary fiber to form an organoleptically acceptable food supplement.
A heart healthy bar comprising about 2.5-8 weight percent of L-arginine or its physiologically acceptable salts, 20 to 45 weight % if fruit as paste and solids, 25 to 45 weight % protein, from 15 to 30 weight % of carbohydrates, less than 10 weight % lipids, and 0 to 5 weight % of dietary fiber to form an organoleptically acceptable food supplement.
A heart healthy bar comprising 2.5-8 weight percent of L-arginine or its physiologically acceptable salts, 25-35 weight % of soy protein, 20 to 35 weight % of fruit as paste and solids, comprising raisins, apples, raspberry and cranberry, 15-30 weight % carbohydrates comprising fructose and maltitol, less than 10 weight % lipids, and 0 to 5 weight % of dietary fiber to form an organoleptically acceptable food supplement.
A health healthy bar comprising 4.+-.1 weight percent of L-arginine or its physiologically acceptable salts, 25-35 weight % of soy protein, 20 to 35 weight % of fruit as paste and solids, comprising raisins, apples, raspberry and cranberry, 15-30 weight % carbohydrates comprising fructose and maltitol, and 0 to 5 weight % of dietary fiber to form an organoleptically acceptable food supplement.
A heart healthy bar substantially homogeneous and comprising at least about 2 weight % of at least one of amino acids L-arginine and L-lysine or their physiologically acceptable salts in combination with from about 20 to 50 weight % of protein, 20 to 50 weight % of fruit as paste and solids, from 10 to 35 weight % of carbohydrates, less than 10 weight % lipids, and 0 to 5 weight % of dietary fiber to form an organoleptically acceptable food supplement, prepared by the method comprising:
- combining at least a major portion of the carbohydrates at a temperature of at least about 180.degree. F. with said fruit paste, cooling the mixture, adding a portion of said protein and said amino acids, and adding the remaining protein and fruit solids.
A heart healthy bar substantially homogeneous and comprising at least about 3 weight % of at least one of amino acids L-arginine and L-lysine or their physiologically acceptable acid salts in combination with from about 20 to 50 weight % of protein, 20 to 50 weight % of fruit as paste and solids, from 10 to 35 weight % of carbohydrates, less than 10 weight % lipids, and 0 to 5 weight % of dietary fiber to form an organoleptically acceptable food supplement.
A heart healthy bar substantially homogeneous and comprising at least about 3 weight % of L-arginine hydrochloride in combination with from about 20 to 50 weight % of protein, 20 to 50 weight % of fruit as paste and solids, from 10 to 35 weight % of carbohydrates, less than 10 weight % lipids, and 0 to 5 weight % of dietary fiber to form an organoleptically acceptable food supplement.
