Abstract: The invention relates to the field of protein-dense liquid nutritional compositions for use in the treatment and/or prevention of a condition linked to loss of muscle mass and/or strength. Provided is a heat-treated liquid high-protein composition comprising at least 10 g of protein per 100 ml of the composition, wherein at least 40 wt. % of the protein is micellar casein and at least 10 wt. % of the protein is hydrolysed whey protein having a degree of hydrolysation of at least 5%, and wherein the weight ratio of micellar casein to hydrolysed whey protein is in the range of 40:60 to 90:10, for use in any one or more of the following: a) preventing or reducing coagulation in the upper gastro-intestinal tract; b) increasing the rate of gastric emptying; c) enhancing protein digestion; d) increasing the blood serum concentration of free essential amino acids, preferably leucine, in a subject.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a heat-treated liquid nutritional composition comprising 8-20 g of protein per 100 ml of the composition, wherein at least 40 wt. % of the protein is micellar casein and at least 10 wt. % of the protein is hydrolysed whey protein. The invention particularly relates to a heat-treated liquid nutritional composition comprising 8-20 g of protein per 100 ml of the composition, wherein at least 40 wt. % of the protein is micellar casein and at least 10 wt. % of the protein is hydrolysed whey protein, wherein the composition further comprises fat and/or carbohydrate, and wherein the composition has an energy density in the range of 1.5 to 3.5 kcal/ml. The invention also relates to a protein composition comprising at least 60 wt. % of protein, based on dry matter of the total composition, wherein at least 40 wt. % of the protein is micellar casein and at least 10 wt. % of the protein is hydrolysed whey protein, based on dry matter of the protein.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a stable alcoholic milk and/or soy protein-based drink with a pH ranging from 5.2-6.5 comprising at least one or more milk and/or soy proteins, alcohol and one or more stabilizers. The invention also relates to a method for preparing the drinks, comprising at least one or more milk and/or soy proteins, which method comprises: a) mixing at least a portion of the milk and/or soy proteins and at least a portion of the stabilizers in an aqueous medium to obtain a mixture; b) setting the pH of the mixture to 3.5-4.4; c) homogenizing the mixture obtained in step b) to obtain a homogenate; d) setting the pH of the homogenate to 5.2-6.5; and e) mixing in the alcohol and optionally a residual portion of the milk and/or soy proteins and of the stabilizers during or after one or more of steps a)-d).
