Title: Reduced digestible carbohydrate food having reduced blood glucose response
Inventor: ANFINSEN JON R
IPC: A23L29/231
Filed: 2004-10-18
Abstract: Reducing the digestion of digestible carbohydrates in a digestible carbohydrate-based material, and reducing the absorption of the digestion product(s) of digestible carbohydrates (that is, simple sugars) within the small intestine. The undigested digestible carbohydrate and the unabsorbed digestion products pass through the small intestines and into the colon, where they are fermented. In effect, the food materials made by practicing the present invention cause a controlled amount of digestible carbohydrate to by-pass the small intestine, resulting in the fermentation of digestible carbohydrates in the colon. The invention also provides for processing of a digestible carbohydrate-based ingredient with a non-digestible food film material, to form a reduced digestible carbohydrate food having a protective food film network, which can inhibit or prevent digestion of the digestible carbohydrate. The present invention also provides for processing of a digestible carbohydrate-based ingredient with a non-digestible food film material, to provide a resulting reduced digestible carbohydrate food containing a viscosity-building component that contributes to the formation of a viscous intestinal chyme that can inhibit or prevent digestion of the digestible carbohydrate and can inhibit adsorption of digestion products of digestible carbohydrates in the small intestine.

Abstract: A waveguide bandpass filter utilizing a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) scheme is provided with wide stopband performance and low in-band insertion loss at microwave and millimetre-wave frequencies. The filter consists of cascaded oversized substrate integrated waveguide cavities, and at least one transmission line of either microstrip, stripline or coplanar waveguide with coupling slots is used as the input/output. The transmission zeros generated by the non-physical cross-couplings through the higher-order modes in the oversized substrate integrated waveguide cavity are assigned to improve the stopband performance. This filter is very easy to integrate with planar circuits for microwave and millimetre-wave applications. Three typical implementations of this filter are illustrated on a general dielectric substrate using linear arrays of metallised via holes by a standard PCB  process. These three typical implementations operate at a center frequency of 20.2 GHz, although other center frequencies, such as approximately 5 GHz to approximately 60 GHz, are achievable.
