摘要:
The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for delivering nutrients to subjects requiring small-volume nutritional support, such as preterm infants. The compositions may comprise an emulsion of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA). The nutritional compositions are useful, for example, in correcting nutritional deficiencies by increasing a subject's intake of nutrients, such as ω-3 or ω-6 long-chain polyunsaturated acids. The nutritional compositions are suitable for enteral delivery as a nutritional supplement or for oral delivery as a human milk or infant formula fortifier.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to a nutritional composition comprising a fat source that includes an enriched lipid fraction derived from milk. The enriched lipid fraction may contain saturated fatty acids, trans-fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, CLAs, BCFAs, cholesterol, milk fat globule membrane proteins, gangliosides, and mixtures thereof. The enriched lipid fraction may exhibit additive or synergistic beneficial health effects when consumed. The disclosure further relates to methods of providing a nutritional composition comprising an enriched lipid fraction to targeted subjects.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a processing method and a selection of ingredients that will retain TGF-&bgr; levels, bioactivity, and/or bioavailability in a liquid nutritional product. The method involves selecting one or more protein ingredients that have been subjected to a heat load comprising medium-heat or less; combining the protein ingredients with other components of the liquid nutritional product to form a slurry; subjecting the slurry to a pressure of from about 2500 psi to about 3500 psi at a temperature of from about 55° C. to about 65° C. for about 5 to 20 seconds; subjecting the slurry to a temperature of about 135 to 150° C. for about 1.5 to 15 seconds; and cooling the slurry to a temperature of less than about 8° C. over about 30 minutes or less.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to improved expanded bed adsorption processes for isolating proteins from milk sources. In particular embodiments, the present disclosure provides a process for isolating a milk protein, such as lactoferrin, from a milk source comprising establishing an expanded bed adsorption column comprising a particulate matrix, applying a milk source to the matrix, and eluting the lactoferrin from the matrix with an elution buffer comprising about 0.3 to about 2.0 M sodium chloride.
摘要:
A method for enhancing cognitive development in a pediatric subject involving administering to the subject a nutritional composition which includes up to 7 g/100 Kcal of a fat or lipid; up to 5 g/100 Kcal of a protein or protein equivalent source; 0.25 g/100 Kcal to 16 g/100 Kcal of buttermilk; 5 mg/100 Kcal to 90 mg/100 Kcal of a source of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid; and 0.015 g/100 Kcal to 1.5 g/100 Kcal of a prebiotic.
