摘要:
Disclosed are induced viscosity nutritional emulsions comprising (A) protein having a protein-bound methionine sulfoxide content of 8% or less of the total protein-bound methionine, on a molar basis, (B) fat, and (C) an induced viscosity fiber system that provides the emulsion with a packaged viscosity of less than 300 cps and an induced viscosity following consumption of at least 300 cps, wherein the induced viscosity nutritional emulsion is an oil-in-water emulsion. It has been found that product stability is improved and shelf-life increased by selection of those protein sources having a low methionine sulfoxide content.
摘要:
The present invention relates generally to a method of blunting the postprandial glycemic response in a human by feeding an induced viscosity fiber system. The invention also relates to an induced viscosity fiber system and the liquid products that incorporate the induced viscosity fiber system. Further, the invention relates to a method of incorporating soluble fiber into a liquid product without the typical negative organoleptic or physical stability issues. The invention also relates to a method of inducing the feeling of fullness and satiety by feeding the induced viscosity fiber system.

Disclosed are nutritional formulations including predigested fats that can be administered to preterm infants, infants, toddlers, and children for improving tolerance, digestion, and absorption of nutrients and for reducing the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis, colic, and short bowel syndrome. The predigested fats include fatty acid-containing monoglycerides and/or a fatty acid component.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method of making nutritional emulsions, comprising: (A) heating and blending together an emulsifying agent having a melt point above about 25 C and oil having hydrophobic off-notes (e.g. non-encapsulated polyunsaturated fatty acid) in a weight ratio of at least about 1:15; (B) adding the heated blend to a fat, protein, and carbohydrate mixture comprising a maltodextrin (DE of about 10 or less), in a weight ratio of the maltodextrin to the oil having hydrophobic off-notes of at least about 1:2; and (C) homogenizing, and then cooling the combination below the melt point of the emulsifying agent to form a nutritional emulsion comprising from about 0.01% to about 5% by weight of process-encapsulated polyunsaturated fatty acid. The resulting nutritional emulsions effectively mask off-notes commonly associated with certain oils, e.g., polyunsaturated fatty acids, soy oil, beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate oils.

摘要:
Disclosed are nutritional emulsions comprising fat, protein, and carbohydrate, including: (A) an induced viscosity fiber system, and (B) a V-complex located within an aqueous phase of the emulsion and comprising a food grade surfactant complexed with a polydextrose having an average degree of polymerization of at least about 10, wherein the nutritional emulsions have a first viscosity at 20° C. of less than about 100 cps, a second viscosity at a temperature of from 0° C. to 8° C. that is at least about 50 cps higher than said first viscosity, and an induced viscosity of at least about 300 cps. The emulsions provide improved control over postprandial hunger, especially for low calorie emulsions. The emulsions also provide a thick, creamy texture when chilled.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method of preparing a nutritional emulsion, said method comprising (a) forming an aqueous slurry, substantially free of fat, by combining a food grade surfactant with a polydextrose having an average degree of polymerization of at least about 10; (b) combining and homogenizing the aqueous slurry with fat and protein to form a nutritional emulsion having an aqueous phase comprising from about 10% to 100% by weight of the food grade surfactant and from about 10% to 100% by weight of the polydextrose, wherein the nutritional emulsion has a first viscosity of less than about 300 cps as measured at 20° C. and a second viscosity as measured at between about 0° C. and about 8° C. that is at least 50 cps higher than the first viscosity. The resulting nutritional emulsion may be further characterized by the presence of a V-complex formed by the combination of the food grade surfactant and the polydextrose. The nutritional emulsions develop a surprisingly thick and creamy texture when chilled prior to use.
摘要:
Disclosed are methods of producing a blunted postprandial glycemic response in an individual, and/or reducing postprandial insulin secretion, said methods comprising administering to the individual a nutritional or other product comprising gamma-cyclodextrin. Also disclosed are similar other methods directed toward the use of such products to provide weight and appetite control, to normalize blood glucose levels in individuals with impaired glucose tolerance, to minimize nighttime hypoglycemia in diabetic and non-diabetic patients, to prevent reactive hypoglycemia in susceptible non-diabetics, to normalize blood glucose levels in individuals with gestational diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance during gestation, and/or to provide a prolonged glycemic response during exercise. The methods are based upon the discovery that gamma-cyclodextrins are rapidly metabolized and absorbed in the small intestine, but subsequently result in a surprisingly blunted postprandial glycemic response and reduced insulin secretion.
