Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a nutritional composition having at least one protein, at least one fat, and at least one lipophilic compound, the composition comprising at least one assembly comprising at least one hydrophobic protein, monoglycerides and diglycerides (“MDG”) and at least one lipophilic compound, wherein at least 1% of the total MDG in the nutritional composition remains in the aqueous phase after centrifugation at 100,000×g for 1 hour at 20° C.
Abstract:
Spray dried nutritional powders include soluble calcium, protein, and at least one of a soluble citrate, a soluble phosphate, and combinations thereof as at least one chelating agent. At least a portion of the soluble calcium is calcium HMB. At least a portion of the protein is soluble protein. The spray dried nutritional powders have a weight ratio of soluble calcium binding capacity to total soluble calcium of from about 2.3:1 to about 12:1. The calcium HMB, the at least one chelating agent, and the protein are spray dried together.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are shelf-stable, clear liquid nutritional compositions having a pH ranging from 2.5 to 4.6 and comprising water; at least one source of EGCg in an amount sufficient to provide 200-1700 mg/L of EGCg; and at least one source of protein in an amount sufficient to provide 25-45 g/L of total protein. The shelf-stable, clear liquid nutritional compositions lose no more than 20% by weight solids of the EGCg content present in the initial formulation of the compositions to epimerization, degradation, or both epimerization and degradation during heat sterilization. In certain embodiments, the loss of EGCg is exhibited by the amount of epimerization product GCg present in the shelf-stable, clear liquid nutritional composition following heat sterilization. Methods for preparing the shelf-stable, clear liquid nutritional compositions are also disclosed herein.

Abstract:
A liquid nutritional composition including 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid (5-MTHF) is provided. The liquid nutritional composition also includes ascorbic acid and a protein system containing methionine to inhibit or reduce oxidation of the 5-MTHF and provide an active folate level of the liquid nutritional composition that remains stable over the shelf life of the liquid nutritional composition.
Abstract:
A nutritional composition comprising at least one protein, at least one macronutrient other than the at least one protein, and micronized calcium phosphate. The micronized calcium phosphate has a median particle size from about 0.20 to about 1.20 micrometers and may modify the viscosity of the nutritional composition. The micronization of the calcium phosphate may provide for increased bioavailability of calcium and phosphate and protein stability in the nutritional composition.

Abstract:
Disclosed are substantially stable sterilized liquid protein supplements including a highly soluble protein source for use with human milk and other infant or adult feeding formulas. The sterilized liquid protein supplements have a more neutral pH, thereby inhibiting protein denaturation and reducing microbial growth. In one aspect, the sterilized liquid protein supplement comprises at least 250 mg of protein per 1 ml, the protein has a degree of hydrolysis of 25% to 45%, a molecular weight median of less than 800 Daltons, and a dipeptide and tripeptide concentration of no more than 40% by weight total protein, wherein the sterilized liquid protein supplement has a pH of 3 to 8.
