Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
82 words
A composition having improved dispersability and mixability in water consisting essentially of psyllium hydrophilic mucilloid having a water-soluble coating from at least about 3% by weight of the composition, selected from the group consisting of a hydrolyzed starch ogligosaccharide having a D.E. of from Zero to 30, a mono-or disaccharide, a polyglucose or a polymatose and sweetened with aspartame, saccharin, cyclamate or a combination thereof, and wherein the composition has a bulk density of from about 0.25 g/ml to about 0.40 g/ml.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
82 words
A composition having improved dispersability and mixability in water consisting essentially of psyllium hydrophilic mucilloid having a water-soluble coating from at least about 3% by weight of the composition, selected from the group consisting of a hydrolyzed starch ogligosaccharide having a D.E. of from Zero to 30, a mono-or disaccharide, a polyglucose or a polymatose and sweetened with aspartame, saccharin, cyclamate or a combination thereof, and wherein the composition has a bulk density of from about 0.25 g/ml to about 0.40 g/ml.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
A composition according to claim 1 wherein the coating is from about 3% to about 11% by weight of the composition.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
