Reaction Steps

Taking into account only components (i) and (ii), which are present in the compositions of the invention in relative proportions of 5-60 and 10-75 weight parts, their proportions on a 100% basis are (i) 5/80-60/70 and (ii) 10/70-75/80, or (i) 6.25-85.7 wt. % and (ii) 14.3-93.75%. The most preferred ratios are (i) 10/60-30/48 (16.7-62.5 wt. % and (ii) 18/48-50/60 (37.5-83.3 wt.). Taking only the disaccharides (ii-a), the relative proportion is (i) 5/65-60/70 (7.7-85.7 wt. %) and (ii-a) 10/70-60/65 (14.3-92.3 wt. %), most preferably (i) 10/55-30/45 (18.2-66.7 wt. %), and (ii-a) 15/45-45/55 (33.3-81.8 wt. %). These ratios apply in particular to the combination of galactose and palatinose. Combinations of these specific monosaccharides and specific disaccharides, for instance galactose and palatinose, exhibit synergism in providing a quick and sustained glucose response.
