Abstract: A composition nutritional containing dietary fibers is useful for the treatment of muscle wasting, if the dietary fiber comprise at least 30 wt. % of galacto-oligosaccharides or other oligosaccharides having mainly anhydropyranose units, and having a chain length of 3-10 units. The composition may further contain other oligo- or polysaccharides, especially polysaccharides having a majority of anhydrofuranose units.

Abstract: A coated proteinaceous material can be produced by contacting the proteinaceous material with de-oiled phospholipids or mixtures thereof containing less than 20% triglycerides. The coating has between 0.1 and 1.5% by weight of the total proteinaceous material, of de-oiled lecithin. The proteinaceous material is hydrophobic, especially amino acids having a hydrophobicity of higher than 1.0 kJ/mol. In particular, the amino acids are leucine, isoleucine, valine, phenylalanine, tryptophan and/or methionine. The coated amino acids can be incorporated into food products and medicaments.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a liquid nutritional composition, to a liquid nutritional composition for use in a diagnostic method for screening of a glucose-intolerant condition, to a kit for screening of a glucose-intolerant condition, and to a diagnostic method for screening a mammal for a glucose-intolerant condition. Furthermore, it refers to a liquid nutritional composition for use as a standard reference nutrition, such as for classification of postprandial glucose responses of different nutritional compositions. The liquid nutritional composition comprises protein, fat, digestible carbohydrate and dietary fibre, wherein the digestible carbohydrate comprises at least 90 weight % of glucose units, based on total digestible carbohydrate mass and preferably is substantially free of fructose.
