  • Publication number: 20200330589
    Abstract: A composition including protein hydrolysates derived from milk is obtained by the treatment of enzymes derived from microorganisms. A trypsin-like enzyme and a chymotrypsin-like enzyme are used. The composition is in particular intended for inducing tolerance in infants with the effect of modulating the potential occurrence of allergies later in life. The composition can also be used in sick adult patients. Preferably the composition is an infant formula, infant follow-up formula, growing-up milk or baby food or an enteral complete nutritional composition.

  • Patent number: 9486004
    Abstract: A composition including protein hydrolysates derived from milk is obtained by the treatment of enzymes derived from microorganisms. A trypsin-like enzyme and a chemotrypsin-like enzyme are used. The composition is in particular intended for inducing tolerance in infants with the effect of modulating the potential occurrence of allergies later in life. The composition can also be used in sick adult patients. Preferably the composition is an infant formula, infant follow-up formula, growing-up milk or baby food or an enteral complete nutritional composition.

  • Publication number: 20150290131
    Abstract: Encapsulated bitter peptides, methods of encapsulating bitter peptides, and nutritional compositions including encapsulated bitter peptides are provided. The bitter peptides can be encapsulated in a hydrophobic matrix, such as an organogel, a solid lipid nanoparticle, a liposome or combinations thereof. The encapsulated bitter peptides can be bioavailable, can be selectively encapsulated such that peptides needed for emulsion stabilization are not encapsulated and can maintain encapsulation during further processing such as heat treatment and homogenization.

  • Publication number: 20120016112
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to edible compositions and methods to produce them. In particular, the present invention relates to the enzymatic modulation of macron utrients and to food compositions containing such modulated macronutrients. One embodiment of the present invention is a method for modulating macronutrients comprising the steps of producing at least one synthetic gene coding for at least one enzyme or a functional part thereof capable of modulating macronutrients, expressing the at least one enzyme or a functional part thereof, and bringing the macronutrients into contact with the at least one enzyme or a functional part thereof exhibiting the enzymatic activity.
