Patent number: 7323200Abstract: Disclosed are calcium fortified, soy-based, infant nutritional formulas, including powder, liquid, or concentrate embodiments comprising per 100 kcal of formula (A) lipid, preferably up to about 8.0 g, (B) carbohydrate, preferably from about 8.0 g to about 16.0 g, (C) phytase-treated soy protein, preferably up to about 3.5 g and (D) calcium, preferably up to about 90 mg of calcium; wherein the nutritional formula is an infant formula having a calcium to lipid weight ratio of from about 0.002 to about 0.020, and wherein the formula contains not more than about 8.4 mg phytic acid per 100 kcal of formula. It has been found that these calcium-fortified, phytase-treated, soy-based, nutritional formulas provide for softer stools in infant populations, especially as compared to infants fed with other soy-based formulas including commercial soy formulas as well as soy based formulas derived from dephytinization methods other than phytase treatment, e.g., ion exchange.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2003Date of Patent: January 29, 2008Assignee: Abbott LaboratoriesInventors: James N. Chmura, Kent L. Cipollo, Louis I. Ndife, Karin M. Ostrom

Patent number: 6811801Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, it has been discovered that the addition of lutein compounds to thermally processed nutritionals brightens the nutritional resulting in a more appealing color. Thermally processed liquid and powder nutritionals typically present brown and gray hues in the final color, which negatively impact the overall appeal of the nutritional. The inventors have discovered that the lutein compounds eliminate the gray and brown hues without imparting the relatively strong yellow color typically associated with lutein compounds. Additionally, the nutritionals possess long term color stability.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2001Date of Patent: November 2, 2004Assignee: Abbott LaboratoriesInventors: Minhthy Le Nguyen, Bruce B. Blidner, Kent L. Cipollo

Patent number: 6440470Abstract: The present invention is directed to an elemental liquid nutritional product useful for providing nutrition to a patient having a malabsorption condition by enterally feeding to the patient a nutritionally effective amount of the liquid nutritional products of the present invention. One nutritional product of the present invention includes a protein system in which at least 65 w/w % of said proteins have a molecular weight of less than 5,000 daltons. The proteins system includes soy protein hydrolysate, and partially hydrolyzed caseinate. The preferred products further include a structured lipid formed from marine oil and medium chain triglyceride oil. Palatability of elemental nutritional products has been improved by keeping caloric density in a range from 0.60 kcal/ml to about 1.05 kcal/ml and incorporating sufficient amounts of selected palatability enhancers.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2001Date of Patent: August 27, 2002Assignee: Abbott LaboratoriesInventors: John W. McEwen, Kent L. Cipollo, John H. R. Cramblit, Frances C. Pendley, Stephen J. DeMichele, Jeffery Kenneth Weis

Patent number: 5283260Abstract: A method for administering pyruvate is disclosed which comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of a pyruvate precursor to a mammal in the form of pyruvamide or a pyruvyl-amino acid. The pyruvyl-amino acid is preferably selected from the group comprising pyruvyl-glycine, pyruvyl-alanine, pyruvyl-leucine, pyruvyl-valine, pyruvyl-isoleucine, pyruvylphenyl al anine, pyruvyl-proline and pyruvyl-sarcosine, and their amides and esters as well as their salts. Associated with the administration of a pyruvate precursor to a mammal in accordance with this invention are improved insulin resistance, lower fasting insulin levels, and reduced fat gain. Novel methods of synthesizing several pyruvate precursors are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 1993Date of Patent: February 1, 1994Assignee: Abbott LaboratoriesInventors: Robert H.

Patent number: 4957938Abstract: A novel nitritional formulation comprising mixtures of mixed salts formed between branched-chain .alpha.-keto-acids and basic L-amino acid is disclosed which provides optimal nutrition when consumed with a very low protein diet. The composition of this invention contains fewer components than other mixtures utilized heretofore while maintaining like proportions of the essential and semi-essential amino acids. The composition of this invention has improved thermal stability and taste and is useful for the nutritional treatment of chronic renal failure (uremia).Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 1989Date of Patent: September 18, 1990Assignee: Abbott LaboratoriesInventors: Pamela A.
