Definitions
- the present invention relates to a chewable confectionery composition which reduces the presence of dental plaque from the chewing surfaces of teeth and more particularly the invention relates to a chewable confectionery composition which contains a small but effective amount of a an enzyme effective to disrupt or interfere with plaque formation and adhesion to tooth surfaces.
- Oral compositions such as toothpastes, gels and mouth washes are designed to loosen and remove plaque in conjunction with a regular toothbrusliing regimen.
- Dental plaque is present to some degree, in the form of a film, on virtually all dental surfaces. It is a byproduct of microbial growth, and comprises a dense microbial layer consisting of a mass of microorganisms embedded in a polysaccharide matrix. Plaque itself adheres firmly to dental surfaces and is removed only with difficulty even through a rigorous brushing regimen. Moreover, plaque rapidly reforms on the tooth surface after it is removed. Plaque may form on any part of the tooth surface, and is found particularly at the gingival margin, in cracks in the enamel , and on the surface of dental calculus. The problem associated with the formation of plaque on the teeth lies in the tendency of plaque to build up and eventually produce gingivitis, periodontitis and other types of penodontal disease, as well as dental caries and dental calculus.
- Plaque formation is an ongoing process.
- various oral care products are available to control plaque formation such as toothpastes and mouth rinse
- the disadvantage of these products is that only a relatively short time during which the teeth are being brushed or the mouth is being rinsed is available for these preparations to take effect.
- a further disadvantage of these toothpaste and mouth rinse products is the general infrequency of use, that is, most dental hygiene products are used once or perhaps twice daily and seldom when they are most needed, e.g., after meals and snacks.
- food deposits which build up as a result of eating throughout the day are left in the oral cavity for long periods of time thereby promoting microbial growth and formation of plaque on tooth surfaces.
- antimicrobial agents in oral compositions wherein these agents destroy or inhibit oral bacteria responsible for plaque formation.
- Other agents are also incorporated in the oral composition to reduce plaque formation on teeth.
- enzymes such as proteases and carbohydrases in oral compositions, which enzymes disrupt or interfere with plaque formation and bacterial adhesion to tooth surfaces.
- Chewable tablets and gums have been used as vehicles for introducing various chemical agents to tooth surfaces including enzymes such as amylase enzymes (US 4,740,368) oxidoreductases such as glucose oxidase and lactoperoxidase enzymes (US 4,564,519).
- enzymes such as amylase enzymes (US 4,740,368) oxidoreductases such as glucose oxidase and lactoperoxidase enzymes (US 4,564,519).
- compositions are stable and have a long shelf-life, which requirement has limited the use of these compositions because normally, the active agents incorporated in these compositions that provide oral care benefits such as plaque reduction are not stable under ambient conditions of humidity and temperature and as a result the agents quickly become degraded to concentrations of limited efficacy and particularly, enzymes which denature during the manufacturing process.

- the chewable composition of the present invention is made by any suitable process where the protease enzyme is incorporated into the solid base material such that no water or a limited amount of ingredients that absorb water are used that would result in undesirable amounts of water being introduced into the composition during processing or storage. Further, at the time the enzyme is introduced into ingredients used to prepare the chewable composition that the temperature at the time of addition is less then about 80°C. Therefore, it is critical to the practice of the present invention that the composition contain less than 5% by weight water and preferably less than 3% by weight water and that the temperature at which processing of the enzyme occurs be less than about 80°C. The presence in the composition of water in amounts greater than 5% by weight or the use of temperatures in excess of 80°C will act to denature the protease enzyme thereby substantially reducing the efficacy of the enzyme in effecting plaque reduction on teeth.
- One method for manufacturing the composition of the invention comprises first heating the base material to a temperature sufficient to drive off any water in the composition.
- the base material is then cooled to a temperature at which the enzyme and other temperature sensitive ingredients such as plasticizers, other sweeteners are incorporated and mixed into, the base material.
- Formulations, equipment and processing techniques have been well developed in the art for preparing and packaging chewing gum and chewable tablets and lozenges.
- processing conditions are controlled during the time period that the enzymes are admixed with the other ingredients of the formulation and converted into finished products so that the temperature at the time of admixture does not exceed about 80°C for any extended period of time.
- the tablets of the confectionary composition of the present invention are conventionally made by grinding the ingredients once mixed and then compressing or molding the ingredients to form a suitable means for the delivery of the enzyme. In order to produce tablets it is necessary to have a free flowing material which has good self binding properties and which will not stick to the molding or compression equipment.
- An illustrative procedure for formulating the chewing gum composition is as follows: the gum base is first melted in a heated kettle at 55°-65°C. One or more of the sweeteners are then added to the gum base followed by one or more flavors, plasticizer. All ingredients are then mixed for a sufficient period of time to ensure adequate dispersion. The mixture is then allowed to cool and the enzyme is added and is cut into suitable serving sizes.
- the finished product In order to enhance shelf stability, in addition to the admixture used in the preparation of the chewable product being substantially free of water, the finished product should be packaged in a manner so as to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
- Enzyme (papain) containing tablet and gum compositions were prepared using conventional base ingredients as set forth in Tables I and II below.
- the chewable tablet of Table I was prepared by boiling the Isomalt, Lycasin, water, fat, mono and diglyceride mixture, glycerin, and lecithin to 267-268°F (131°C) after which glycerin was added and the mixture and cooled to 140°F (60°C). Thereafter sodium bicarbonate, papain, dicalcium phosphate and the remaining ingredients were added. Thereafter the mixture cooled to room temperature 72-77°F (23°C) was ground into powder and compressed into a tablet using a tablet press.
- Magnesium stearate, .talc, silica gel Magnesium stearate, .talc, silica gel.
- Papain activity was measured and monitored in the papain containing chewable tablets and chewing gums using the Protease Detection kit from Panvera Corp.
- the activity kit quantifies protease activity using a fluorenscein thiocarbamoyl (FTC)-casein substrate.
- FTC-casein is attacked by the protease, breaking down casein into TC-peptides.
- the amount of protease activity is determined by measuring the fluorescence expressed as relative fluorescence units (RFU). The fluorescence signal generated is proportioned to the level of activity of papain in the tablet or gum delivery system.
- chewable tablets designated “Tablet A” and chewing gum designated “Chewing Gum B” were prepared in which papain was not included in these compositions.
- the papain activities of the chewable tablet or Table I and the chewmg gum of Table II are recorded in Tables in and IN below as are the papain activities of comparative tablet and gum compositions.
- the chewable tablet of Table I was tested for plaque reduction at 2-and 5- hours after chewing by human volunteers using plaque grown in vivo in an intra-oral retainer on hydroxyapatite disks. Confocal microscopy was used to visualize and quantify the changes in plaque coverage and plaque ultrastructure. Plaque removal was also measured by conventional light microscopy by staining the plaque before and after treatment with crystal violet indicator and measuring the changes in color intensity. Image Pro Analysis Software was used to perform the image analysis and the quantitative measurements. The color intensity was measured and used to determine stain removal. The greater the intensity, the greater the cleaning efficacy. These results are shown in Table N below.
