Abstract: This invention relates to a balanced fat composition and use thereof in a liquid nutritional composition, in particular suitable for tube feeding. This invention further relates to said liquid nutritional composition for providing enteral nutrition to patients in need thereof, in particular for providing a complete enteral nutrition, in particular for providing a long-term enteral nutrition. More specifically, the balanced fat composition and the liquid nutritional composition comprising said balanced fat composition comprises specific amounts of linoleic acid (LA), alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), at least one medium chain fatty acid (MCFA), and at least one mono-unsaturated fatty acid (MUFA). The invention relates further to a method for providing enteral nutrition to patients in need thereof comprising administering an effective amount of said liquid nutritional composition comprising the balanced fat composition according to the invention.

Abstract: This invention relates to the coagulation of protein containing nutritional compositions in the upper gastro-intestinal tract, more in particular in the stomach and provides a method for reducing suchcoagulation.

Abstract: The invention is directed to liquid enteral nutritional compositions comprising a protein fraction comprising more than 25 weight % and up to 80 weight % of a vegetable protein comprising at least a source of pea protein, and a fat fraction comprising (a) 8 to 15 weight % of linoleic acid; (b) 3.0 to 6.0 weight % of a combination of alpha-linolenic acid, docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid, wherein the amount of ALA is >2.5 weight % and the combined amount of DHA and EPA is ?2.5 weight %; (c) 10 to 20 weight % of at least one medium-chain fatty acid; and (d) 35 to 79 weight % of at least one mono-unsaturated fatty acid. The compositions provide for a healthy and balanced diet, which is well-tolerated and minimises clinical complications that are frequently associated with the administration of enteral nutrition in patients using tube feeding, especially with respect to a reduced gastric emptying.

Abstract: The invention pertains to the use of a lipid-rich nutrition for the manufacture of a composition for the prevention and/or treatment of post-operative ileus. The lipid fraction inhibited IL-6 and TNF-? levels in peritoneal lavage fluid, and/or wherein the lipid fraction prevents influx of neutrophils in the intestinal muscularis following intestinal manipulation. The nutritional composition comprises at least a lipid fraction which accounts for 42 to 90%, preferably between 45 and 70% of the total energy of the composition. The lipid fraction preferably contains 8 to 50 wt % of phospholipids.

Abstract: Enteral compositions and use thereof, which compositions contain proteins and lipids, for the prevention and/or treatment of sepsis; the lipid fraction being particularly rich in phospholipids.
