MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611113227 A) filed by Chandigarh University on September 22, 2026, for Ai-Based Personalized Functional Food System For Gastrointestinal Microplastic Binding Using Tamarind Polysaccharide.
Inventors include Shaman Sharma; Nistha; Amandeep Kaur Sekhon; and Deepak Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: The invention relates to a functional food composition and personalized intake system for gastrointestinal binding of microplastic particles. The composition comprises tamarind seed polysaccharide in a composite bio-adsorbent matrix with soluble fiber, food-grade activated plant carbon and prebiotic material. Upon ingestion, the matrix hydrates and provides accessible binding regions for interaction with microplastic particles, forming particle-matrix complexes that remain associated with the non-absorbable matrix during gastrointestinal transit and are carried toward natural elimination. A computing module receives user-specific diet habits, water source, location and lifestyle information, estimates an exposure condition and generates individualized quantity and frequency recommendations. User feedback is returned to the computing module for continued optimization of subsequent recommendations. The arrangement is suitable for delivery as a bar, powder sachet, functional drink or capsule
