A liquid edible composition with a pH of more than 6, a viscosity below 600 mPas at a shear rate of 100s-1 and 20&#xb0; C., and a viscosity of at least 125% of the aforementioned viscosity at a pH below 5 and a temperature of 37&#xb0; C., the composition comprising at least 0.05 wt. % of pectin having a degree of methoxylation between 2 and 50 and/or of alginate; at least 5 mg calcium per 100 ml; and at least 0.1 wt. % indigestible oligosaccharide having a degree of polymerisation between 2 and 60. Another aspect of the invention relates to a method for the treatment or prevention of overweight or obesity in mammals, the method comprising the enteral administration to a mammal of an effective amount of the aforementioned composition.

Matrix-forming composition containing pectin

The present invention relates to a method for the treatment and/or prevention of overweight in a monogastric mammal. More particularly, the invention is concerned with such a method comprising administering to the mammal a liquid edible composition with a pH of more than 5, a viscosity below 50 mPas at a shear rate of 100sand 20&#xb0; C., and a viscosity of at least 125% of the aforementioned viscosity at a pH 3 and a temperature of 37&#xb0; C.; and with a caloric density between 0 and 500 kcal per liter, the composition comprising: between 0.01 and 5 wt. % of one or more polysaccharides selected from the group consisting of pectin and alginate; and between 0.01 and 3 wt. % calcium

Soft drink replacer

One aspect of the present invention relates to a liquid edible composition with a pH of more than 6, a viscosity below 600 mPas at a shear rate of 100sand 20&#xb0; C., and a viscosity of at least 125% of the aforementioned viscosity at a pH below 5 and a temperature of 37&#xb0; C., the composition comprising at least 0.05 wt. % of pectin having a degree of methoxylation between 2 and 50 and/or of alginate; at least 5 mg calcium per 100 ml; and at least 0.1 wt. % indigestible oligosaccharide having a degree of polymerisation between 2 and 60. Another aspect of the invention relates to a method for the treatment or prevention of overweight or obesity in mammals, said method comprising the enteral administration to a mammal of an effective amount of the aforementioned composition.
