| 20080274230 | Iron-Containing Human Milk Fortifier With Improved Antimicrobial Properties - Disclosed are human milk fortifier compositions, in either powder or liquid forms, comprising nutrients and selected iron-containing materials, wherein the fortifiers when added to human milk do not significantly inhibit or otherwise eliminate the inherent, in-vitro antimicrobial properties of the milk. This is accomplished by formulating the compositions with iron-containing insoluble iron, soluble bound iron, or combinations thereof, with little or no soluble unbound iron. Also disclosed are methods of providing nutrition to infants, especially preterm infants, by adding the human milk fortifier described herein with human milk to form a fortified human milk, and then administering the fortified human milk to the infant. The fortifier can also be used to fortify other infant formulas. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20090162518 | Stable Nutritional Powder - Disclosed are compositions comprising carbohydrate; lipid, comprising from about 0.25% to about 2.5 % lecithin by weight of total lipid; from about 90% to about 99.5% of intact protein by weight of total protein; and from about 0.5% to about 10% of at least one hydrolyzed protein selected from the group consisting of hydrolyzed casein protein and hydrolyzed whey protein; wherein the hydrolyzed protein has a degree of hydrolysis of between about 23% and about 90%, and wherein the compositions are nutritional powders. The nutritional powders provide improved oxidative stability and sensory performance. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090162521 | Stable Nutritional Powder - Disclosed are compositions comprising carbohydrate; lipid, comprising from about 0.25% to about 2.5% lecithin by weight of total lipid; from about 0.5% to about 10% hydrolyzed casein protein by weight of total protein; and from about 90% to about 99.5% intact protein by weight of total protein; wherein the compositions are nutritional powders. The nutritional powders provide improved oxidative stability and sensory performance. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20100247734 | Methods for Making Nutritional Compositions Comprising Curcuminoids - Disclosed are nutritional compositions and methods for preparing the compositions, comprising fat, protein, and carbohydrate, including a combination of curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin, which combination is solubilized in a polar oil having an HLB value of from about 0.7 to about 14 wherein the weight ratio of the bisdemethoxycurcumin to the curcumin is from about 1:1 to about 1:7 and the weight ratio of the bisdemethoxycurcumin to the demethoxycurcumin is from about 1:1 to about 1:2.5. The composition provides a selected ratio of curcuminoids having improved biological activity, bioavailability, and reduced color impact. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100249031 | Nutritional Composition Comprising Curcuminoids and Methods of Manufacture - Disclosed are nutritional compositions and methods for preparing the compositions, comprising fat, protein, and carbohydrate, including a combination of curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin, which combination is solubilized in a polar oil having an HLB value of from about 0.7 to about 14 wherein the weight ratio of the bisdemethoxycurcumin to the curcumin is from about 1:1 to about 1:7 and the weight ratio of the bisdemethoxycurcumin to the demethoxycurcumin is from about 1:1 to about 1:2.5. The composition provides a selected ratio of curcuminoids having improved biological activity, bioavailability, and reduced color impact. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20110250340 | SHELF STABLE NUTRITIONAL LIQUIDS COMPRISING BETA ALANINE - Disclosed are shelf-stable nutritional liquids comprising beta alanine, protein, and a carbohydrate system, wherein the shelf-stable nutritional liquid includes a molar ratio of the DE of the carbohydrate system to the lysine amino nitrogen of the protein of less than about 1.0 and or a molar ratio of the DE of the carbohydrate system to the beta alanine of less than about 3.0. The nutritional liquids are surprisingly stable over extended periods of time and exhibit minimal reduction in the concentration of beta alanine over shelf life. | 10-13-2011 |
| 20110256272 | Aseptically Packaged Nutritional Liquids Comprising HMB - Disclosed are nutritional compositions comprising a peroxide-treated aseptic package and a nutritional liquid contained therein, wherein the nutritional liquid comprises beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) and at least one of fat, carbohydrate, and protein. The HMB provides a buffering effect in the nutritional liquid to thus minimize an acidic pH shift that is prevalent in aseptically sterilized packages, and thus helps maintain product stability over time. | 10-20-2011 |
| 20110256297 | Nutritional Emulsions Comprising Calcium HMB and Soluble Protein - Disclosed are nutritional emulsions comprising fat, carbohydrate, protein, and calcium HMB wherein soluble protein comprises from about 50% to 100% by weight of the total protein. Also disclosed are nutritional emulsions comprising fat, carbohydrate, protein, and calcium HMB wherein soluble protein comprises from about 50% to 100% by weight of the protein and the emulsion has a weight ratio of soluble protein to calcium HMB of from about 5:1 to about 12:1. The nutritional emulsions are surprisingly stable and generate minimal or no bitter flavors or after taste over time. | 10-20-2011 |
