Abstract:
The present invention relates to a fermented infant formulae comprising non digestible oligosaccharides for improving intestinal tract health by decreasing protein digestive effort, by decreasing the amount of endogenously formed proteases concomitant with an increased protein digestion, and a reduced protein fermentation.
Abstract:
An infant formula for preventing gastro-esophageal reflux is disclosed comprising whey protein and/or casein, a galactomannan thickener, and a fermented milk-derived product.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a native whey protein composition with profound amounts of native whey protein and with beta-casein for use in the treatment and/or prevention of gastrointestinal intolerance. The inventors found that the native whey protein composition relatively high in beta- casein and low in kappa- and alpha-casein provides a beneficial effect on gastrointestinal intolerance.
Abstract:
The invention concerns native whey protein for use in the treatment and/or prevention of intestinal infection or inflammation, in particular necrotizing enterocolitis. The inventors found that native whey protein provides a beneficial effect on intestinal infection or inflammation.
Abstract:
The invention pertains to the use of a vegetable protein in improving postprandial digestion of fat in a subject, said subject having consumed a liquid enteral nutritional composition comprising said fat, said vegetable protein and a casein protein. The inventors have shown that the fat fraction of a liquid enteral nutritional composition that comprises casein protein can be made better digestible upon exposure to the gastric environment of a human subject, by including a vegetable protein in said nutrition.
Abstract:
The invention concerns native whey protein for use in (a) improving intestinal maturation; and/or (b) reducing and/or preventing intestinal permeability.The inventors found that native whey protein provides a beneficial effect on intestinal maturation and permeability.

Abstract:
The invention pertains to a process for simultaneous producing an infant formula product and an acidic dairy product from defatted animal milk, comprising (a) processing the milk into a casein stream, a whey protein stream and a lactose stream, by: (i) subjecting the defatted animal milk to a filtration step over a microfiltration membrane capable of retaining bacteria and permeating milk proteins, to provide a debacterialized milk as permeate; (ii) subjecting the permeate originating from step (i) to a filtration step over a microfiltration membrane capable of retaining casein and permeating whey proteins, to provide a casein stream as retentate and a permeate comprising whey protein; (iii) fractionating the permeate originating from step (ii) into a whey protein stream and a lactose stream; (b) combining part of the casein stream, at least part of the whey protein stream originating from step (a) and a lactose source to obtain a recombined stream, wherein the lactose source comprises acid whey; (c) using the recombined stream originating from step (b) in the manufacture of the infant formula product; (d) using part of the casein stream originating from step (a) in the manufacture of the acidic dairy product. The invention further concerns the infant formula product obtainable by step (c) of the process according to the invention, and to the acidic dairy product obtainable by step (d) of the process according to the invention.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for the treatment and prevention of a diet responsive condition through inhibition of carbohydrate digestion in the intestine, by a component obtainable from Epimedium.
