    摘要: A machine (1) for preparing and dispensing a beverage (2) has: a capsule extraction unit (10) having a first part (11) and a second part (12) that are relatively movable between a distant position for inserting a capsule (3) and a close position for extracting such capsule (3); a control unit (40) for controlling the extraction unit (10) to extract such capsule (3); an outlet (20) for dispensing said beverage (2) formed by extracting such capsule (3) to a user-receptacle (4) located in a receptacle placing area; and a detection arrangement (30) connected to the control unit (40) for detecting the presence of such receptacle (4) in the placing area. The unit (10) has an actuator (13) configured to relatively move the first and second parts (11, 12) between their distant and close positions. The actuator (13) is controlled by the control unit (40) to relatively move the first and the second parts (11, 12) when the detecting arrangement (30) detects the presence of said receptacle (4) in the receptacle placing area.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a liquid heat sterilized enteral composition comprising: a protein source in an amount of 12 to 20% by weight of the composition, the protein source consisting of whey protein containing whey protein micelles and a source of casein. The inventive heat sterilized enteral composition preferably has a cysteine content of 1.2 to 2.4% by weight of the composition. The present invention is furthermore directed to a process for preparing a heat sterilized enteral composition comprising protein in an amount of 12 to 20% by weight based on the weight of the composition, said protein consisting of whey protein containing whey protein micelles and casein, which comprises the steps of: (i) Providing an aqueous solution of a protein source consisting of whey protein containing whey protein micelles and (ii) Adding a protein source containing casein; (iii) Optionally performing a homogenization treatment step; (iv) Performing a heat treatment step; (v) Optionally performing a homogenization treatment step. Finally, the invention concerns the use of a protein source consisting of whey protein containing whey protein micelles and a source of casein, for preparing an enteral composition and/or for controlling the viscosity of a liquid enteral composition, wherein the enteral composition comprises 12 to 20 weight % total protein. The invention also concerns medical uses and treatments applying or using the inventive heat sterilized enteral composition.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a process for forming a stabilized fat blend. Further aspects of the invention are a composition comprising a fat blend and micronized antioxidant-containing vegetable material. The invention also provides for the use of micronized antioxidant-containing vegetable material to protect a fat blend from oxidation, for example a fat blend with a low level of saturated fat.
