Abstract: This invention relates to a pea-based protein mixture and use thereof in a liquid nutritional composition, in particular suitable for tube feeding, and further relates to the liquid nutritional composition for providing long-term complete enteral nutrition to patients in need thereof. More specifically, the pea-based protein mixture and the liquid nutritional composition comprising the pea-based protein mixture comprises more than 25 weight % and up to 80 weight % of vegetable protein comprising a source of intact pea protein and a source of intact soy protein. The invention relates further to a method for long-term enteral nutrition of patients in need thereof comprising administering an effective amount of the liquid nutritional composition comprising the pea-based protein mixture, in particular comprising a defined amount of intact pea protein and a second vegetable intact protein, other than pea protein.

Abstract: A process of producing a composition comprising at least two different proteins is disclosed, of which at least one is a coagulating protein, such as a casein and/or a caseinate, and at least one is an anti-coagulating protein, such as a leguminous protein (for example pea and/or soy) combined or not with whey protein, comprising the steps of: a) heat-sterilizing a first liquid component comprising the coagulating protein, b) heat-sterilizing a second liquid component comprising the anti-coagulating protein, and c) mixing the first component with the second component to obtain a mixture thereof. The obtained mixture is useful as a food constituent having reduced coagulation in the upper gastro-intestinal tract, more in particular in the stomach.

Abstract: The present invention relates to fermented nutritional compositions comprising non-digestible oligosaccharides for improving the bioavailability of iron and preventing or treating of iron deficiency, in particular for infants and young children or pregnant women.

Abstract: The present invention relates to fermented nutritional compositions comprising high concentration of lactosem such as 6 grams per 100 ml, and optionally non-digestible oligosaccharides, such as galactooligosaccharides or fructooligosaccharides for improving the bioavailability of iron and preventing or treating of iron deficiency (anaemia), in particular for infants and young children or pregnant women. In another aspect of the invention, the nutritional composition are used for preventing cognitive disorders and/or socio-emotional disorders in an infant and/or young child.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process of producing a composition comprising at least two different proteins, of which at least one is a casein and at least one is an anti-coagulating protein, comprising the steps of: a) heat-sterilising a first liquid component which comprises said casein in an amount of at least 85 wt % of the total protein content of the first component, b) heat-sterilising a second liquid component comprising said anti-coagulating protein, and c) mixing said first component with said second component to obtain a mixture thereof. The obtained mixture is useful as a food constituent having reduced coagulation in the upper gastro-intestinal tract, more in particular in the stomach.

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.
