The invention relates to a single-use feeding bottle for dispensing an aqueous nutritional composition to a human from a powdered or concentrated liquid nutritional formula base contained therein and being provided with a connecting member for connecting the bottle to external liquid dispenser adapted to supply liquid to the bottle, the bottle comprising at least one compartment forming a cavity for containing a predefined amount of powdered or concentrated liquid nutritional formula base for the preparation of the nutritional composition upon hydration with the supplied liquid, a neck portion in fluid communication with the compartment, and liquid inlet designed to be supplied with liquid from the liquid dispenser, the bottle furthermore comprising a filter assembly in the flow path of the liquid from the inlet to the compartment, the filter assembly configured to remove contaminants from liquid fed into the compartment through the inlet.

Feeding bottle for preparation of a nutritional composition

The invention proposes a capsule () for use in a beverage production device. The capsule () contains one or several ingredients () for producing a beverage or liquid comestible when a liquid () is fed into the capsule (). The capsule is provided with an integrated antimicrobial filter ().

Capsule with integrated antimicrobial filter

Nutritional delivery system using single-serve capsules comprising: a dispenser for a nutritional composition comprising means for providing water into a single-use capsule containing a portion-controlled serving of a nutritional formula; different types of capsules () being designed according to a nutritional feeding plan corresponding to persons or categories of persons to be fed, each type comprising capsules containing a nutritional formula; the capsules of different types having at least one differentiating characteristic so that each type of capsules corresponds to a feeding time period determined by the feeding plan; control operation means associated to each type of capsules, said means comprising information relating to at least one differentiating operational parameter relevant to produce and deliver a differentiated nutritional liquid in the dispenser according to the feeding plan.

Portion-controlled nutrition system and method using capsules

A dispenser for a nutritional composition comprises a water reservoir, water heating means, water discharge means, a bacterial filter between the water heating means and the water discharge means such that heated water passes though the filter prior to discharge from the dispenser, and means to heat surfaces of the dispenser which come into contact with filtered water.

Dispenser for preparing a nutritional composition

A capsule for use in a beverage production device, the capsule containing ingredients to produce a nutritional or food liquid when a liquid is fed into the capsule at an inlet face thereof, with the capsule being provided with a filter having a plurality of filtering orifices and a flow collection member placed downstream of the filter to collect the filtered liquid from the filtering orifices. The collection member includes at least one restriction orifice to focus the flow of liquid in at least one jet of liquid at high velocity in the compartment containing the ingredients. The invention is particularly advantageous for producing a nutritional liquid (e.g., infant formula) or a food from powdered ingredients.
