摘要:
The present disclosure provides formulations and methods for delivering water-soluble and lipid-soluble nutrients for preventing or correcting nutrient deficiencies to subjects requiring small-volume nutritional support, such as preterm infants. The formulations may comprise an emulsion of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) stabilized by a protein emulsifier, such as alpha-lactalbumin, and may further comprise other valuable nutrients, such as arachidonic acid (ARA), arginine, glutamine, arginyl-glutamine dipeptide and/or alanyl-glutamine dipeptide. The formulation is useful, for example, for correcting nutritional deficiencies by increasing a subject's intake of nutrients such as omega-3 or omega-6 long-chain polyunsaturated acids, proteins, peptides, vitamins, minerals, other fatty acids, and/or essential amino acids. The nutritional formulation is suitable for enteral delivery and small-volume delivery via nasogastric tube, intragastric feeding, transpyloric administration and/or any other means of administration that result in the introduction of the nutritional formulation into the digestive tract of a subject.
摘要:
A nutritional composition having a lipid or fat; a protein source; a source of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids which comprises docosahexanoic acid; and up to about 2.5% by weight of a source of supplemental calcium which, when dissociated, provides a cation having prebiotic functionality.
摘要:
Disclosed is a process for the preparation of a non-viable probiotic composition having anti-allergic (i.e. allergy preventive and/or anti-allergic in a therapeutic sense, and/or anti-inflammatory properties, the process comprising the steps of (a) subjecting LGG to cultivation in a suitable culture medium using a batch process; (b) harvesting the culture supernatant at a late exponential phase of the cultivation step; (c) removing liquid contents from the culture supernatant so as to obtain the composition. Also disclosed is a composition comprising a proteinaceous mixture obtainable by the above process, and the use thereof in a dietetic product preferably for targeting expecting mother's, infants, or children as well as application in food for specific medical purposes.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a method for inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria in an infant formula comprising supplementing the infant formula with at least one diglyceride antimicrobial agent.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a novel use of PDX in the manufacture of a medicament for increasing the production of acetate, decreasing the production of butyrate, increasing the population and species of beneficial bacteria and slowing the rate of fermentation of prebiotics within the gut of a formula-fed infant.
摘要:
A children's or infant's nutritional product utilizing or containing one or more inactivated probiotics for preventing or reducing systemic and/or respiratory inflammation in a child or infant.
摘要:
The invention relates to a conical screw blender (100) which comprises an inverted cone-shaped vessel (102). The blender also includes a material inlet (104), a material outlet (103), a driven screw (203) housed within the vessel, and at least two non-diffuse gas injection lines (300) attached to the vessel. The conical screw blender of the present invention can be used not only for the mixing of materials, but also for the drying of materials.
摘要:
A container system for storing material includes a container and a mating closure having a tamper-evident ring frangibly attached to the closure. The container includes a neck having a container thread and an annular rim for engaging the tamper-evident ring when the closure is removed from the container. In some embodiments, the neck includes one or more retaining structures for engaging the tamper-evident ring during retort sterilization processing, packaging, shipping or handling. The retaining structure in some embodiments includes one or more ramps having multiple inclined surfaces. Each inclined surface is oriented at an acute angle between about five and about forty-five degrees such that the tamper-evident ring can slip past the retaining structure when a threshold removal torque is applied. A method of sealing a container using a tamper-evident container system is also provided.
