Abstract:
A translucent, high acid, low viscosity, high caloric density liquid nutritional composition and methods of making the liquid nutritional composition are provided. The liquid nutritional composition is translucent and has a viscosity of 25 to 100 centipoise, a caloric density of 50 to 200 kcal per 100 mL, and a pH of 2 to 4.6.
Abstract:
A carbonated, oral rehydration beverage that includes about 25-75 mEq/L of sodium, about 15-40 mEq/L of potassium, about 20-55 mEq/L of chloride, dextrose, and at least about 2.0 volumes of CO2. A method of treating or preventing dehydration is also provided.
Abstract:
Potato protein, in combination with other vegetable proteins, replaces a portion of the total protein in a nutrition drink or shake or other nutritional composition intended for oral consumption. By suitable selection of the types and amounts of these proteins the overall cost of manufacturing the nutritional composition can be reduced without adversely affecting its other desirable properties such as nutritional value, stability, solubility, clarity, taste, and mouthfeel.
Abstract:
Nutritional compositions and methods useful for improving the heart health of an individual are disclosed. The liquid nutritional compositions include protein, carbohydrates and beta-glucan. In certain embodiments, the liquid nutritional compositions meet one or more of the following: contain at least 6.25 grams soy protein, contain at least 0.75 grams of beta-glucan, are clear or have a pH of 2-4.6.
Abstract:
Liquid nutritional compositions comprise at least about 125 mg/ml of a protein system comprising, based on the weight of the protein system, less than 40 wt % micellar casein, greater than 15 wt % non-micellar casein, whey protein, whey protein hydrolysate, and partially hydrolyzed collagen. The liquid nutritional compositions further comprise at least about 5 mg/ml of β-hydroxy β-methylbutyrate (HMB), fat, and carbohydrate. The liquid nutritional compositions have a zero shear rate viscosity greater than 100 cp, an infinite shear rate viscosity of less than 200 cp, and a ratio of zero shear rate viscosity to infinite shear rate viscosity of greater than about 1.5.
Abstract:
Liquid nutritional compositions including both soy protein and dairy protein demonstrate enhanced rheological properties. By suitable selection of the types and amounts of these proteins, high caloric density products can be obtained without adversely affecting other desirable properties such as nutritional value, stability, taste, and mouthfeel.
Abstract:
Low lactose nutritional compositions and methods of producing low lactose nutritional compositions are provided. The methods include producing an initial nutritional composition comprising protein, carbohydrate, fat, and minerals. At least one high lactose protein source is utilized to provide 30-100% by weight of the total protein in the initial nutritional composition. Lactase is added to the initial nutritional composition to digest the lactose in the initial nutritional composition to form a low lactose nutritional composition.
Abstract:
Disclosed embodiments provide low viscosity, high caloric density liquid nutritional compositions. The use of non-micellar milk protein in combination with hydrolyzed caseinate and unique formulation methods allow for improved organoleptic qualities and the production of liquid nutritional compositions displaying low viscosity along with a high caloric density.
