Nutritional solutions and methods of making same are disclosed. The solutions include protein, lipid, and a carbohydrate source including high amylose starch and guar gum.

Methods for stabilizing liquid nutritional products and products so stabilized

A nutritional supplement in the form of a gelled nutritional composition. The composition contains gelled whey protein; a carbohydrate source; minerals; and vitamins. The composition may have a viscosity of about 5000 cp to about 40000 cp and an energy density of about 800 kcal/l to about 1200 kcal/l. The composition is suitable for dysphagia patients, children and athletes.

Gelled nutritional composition and process

A method is described to provide composition for a nutritional supplement for convalescing patients recovering from illness or surgery, those with limited appetite such as the elderly, children or anorexic patients, or those who have impaired ability to digest other sources of protein such as persons having chronic gastritis who have a reduced gastric pepsin digestion. The supplement comprises: (i) a protein source which provides at least about 8% total calories of the composition and which includes at least about 50% by weight whey protein; (ii) a lipid source having an omega 3:6 fatty acid ratio of about 5:1 to about 10:1 and which provides at least about 18% total calories of the composition; (iii) a carbohydrate source; and (iv) a balanced macronutrient profile comprising at least vitamin E and vitamin C. The supplement has reduced capacity to induce satiety. Also disclosed is a method of treatment which comprises administering an effective amount of the composition.

Method to provide nutritional composition

The present invention provides a liquid oral supplement and a method for using the same. The supplement provides at least 2.25 calories per ml and provides at least 15% by caloric content of protein.

Calorically dense liquid oral supplement

A composition for a nutritional supplement for convalescing patients recovering from illness or surgery, those with limited appetite such as the elderly, children or anorexic patients, or those who have impaired ability to digest other sources of protein such as persons having chronic gastritis who have a reduced gastric pepsin digestion. The supplement comprises: (i) a protein source which provides at least about 8% total calories of the composition and which includes at least about 50% by weight whey protein; (ii) a lipid source having an omega 3:6 fatty acid ratio of about 5:1 to about 10:1 and which provides at least about 18% total calories of the composition; (iii) a carbohydrate source; and (iv) a balanced macronutrient profile comprising at least vitamin E and vitamin C. The supplement has reduced capacity to induce satiety. Also disclosed are a method of production of the composition; use of the composition in the manufacture of a functional food or medicament; and a method of treatment which comprises administering an effective amount of the composition.

Nutritional composition

A fortified foodstuff comprising a fortifying amount of a balanced blend of calcium lactate and calcium carbonate stabilised with a source of glucuronic acid, and a process for its preparation which comprises mixing a balanced blend of calcium lactate and calcium carbonate, adding a source of glucuronic acid, and adding to the foodstuff.
