摘要:
Neutral straight-chain or branched oligosaccharides for preventing the invasion and infection of mammal cells by pathogens and for fighting diseases caused by such pathogens are disclosed. Food, dietetic products and pharmaceutical agents containing oligosaccharides consist of a base unit of formula (I), and between 0 and 19 other units of formula (II), which are linked directly or indirectly to the base unit. Gal represents a galactose monosaccharide unit; Glc represents a glucose monosaccharide unit; HexNAc rpresents an N-acetylated galactosamine or glucosamine monosaccharide unit (GalNAc or GlcNAc); R independently represent a β 1-3 or β 1-6 glycosidic link to HexNAc monosaccharide of the next [Gal-HexNAc] unit (II), and on a terminal [Gal-HexNAc] unit, or R are not present; and a terminal [Gal-HexNAc] unit, wherein R represent a deoxyhexose radical, can have another deoxyhexose radical on the HexNAc monosaccharide unit.

The present invention provides the use of a composition comprising uronic acid oligosaccharide for the manufacture of a composition for enteral administration to an infant delivered via caesarean section.
摘要:
A carbohydrate mixture for dietetic foods and pharmaceuticals containing several carbohydrates is provided according to the present invention. Said carbohydrate mixture is characterized in that they contain or consist of two different, substantially soluble carbohydrate components A and B, which remain undigested in the gastrointestinal tract and enter the large intestine without being resorbed, that said carbohydrate component A is composed of at least one monosaccharide or of at least one oligosaccharide (disaccharide to hexasaccharide) or of a mixture of two or more of these saccharides, that the carbohydrate component B is composed of a polysaccharide (from heptasaccharide onwards) or of a mixture of two or more polysaccharides, that the carbohydrate component A=5 to 95 wt-% and the carbohydrate component B=5 to 95 wt-% of the sum of the carbohydrate components A+B (=100 wt-%), and that at least 80 wt-% of the carbohydrates/saccharides of the carbohydrate components A and B have a prebiotic effect. The inventive carbohydrate mixture have not only a nutritive effect but they also stimulate health-promoting microorganisms present in the natural flora of the large intestine.
摘要:
The invention relates to novel enzymes, which transfer sialic acid from a donor molecule onto an acceptor molecule (trans-sialidases). The enzymes are isolated from the protozoan Trypanosoma congolense. The invention also relates to functional equivalents of said enzymes, to the nucleic acid sequences and amino acid sequences that code for the enzymes and their functional equivalents, to expression constructs and vectors that contain said sequences, to recombinant microorganisms that carry the inventive coding nucleic-acid sequences, to a method for the recombinant production of the inventive enzymes, to a method for isolating said enzyme from Trypanosoma congolense, to a method for the enzymatic sialization of acceptor molecules using the inventive enzymes, to effectors of the inventive trans-sialidases, to the use of the nucleic acid sequences, amino acid sequences, enzymes, effectors or sialization products for producing vaccines, medicaments, foodstuffs or food additives, in addition to the latter products obtained by the inventive method.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a protein fortifier for use in varying the amount of protein in preterm infant nutrition, thereby adapting the formula or human milk to the nutritional needs of very low birth weight infants and extremely low birth weight infants.
摘要:
The invention relates to a composition comprising pea protein hydrolysate for the treatment and/or prevention of infection by gastrointestinal pathogens, in particular Helicobacter pylori and/or a disease associated with infection by said gastrointestinal pathogen in mammals.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods for feeding of infants delivered via caesarean section and to compositions to be administered to infants delivered via caesarean section and in particular to the use of a product obtained by fermentation of milk, whey, whey protein, whey protein hydrolysate, casein, casein hydrolysate and/or lactose by lactic acid producing bacteria. Thereby it is possible to stimulate a fast colonisation of the intestinal microbiota of said infants.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method and a composition for feeding low birthweight infants (LBW infants), very low birthweight infants (VLBW infants), extremely low birthweight infants (ELBW infants) and preterm infants for improving oral tolerance.
摘要:
The present invention concerns a therapy aimed at language and/or social skills in infants through administration of components stimulating the development of a healthy intestinal flora.
