Abstract: The present invention relates to bovine milk fat comprising, based on total fatty acid content, 8.9-29.0 wt % linoleic acid (C18:2 cis, 9,12), 0.9-2.4 wt % alpha-linolenic acid (C18:3 cis 9,12,15), and 3-5 wt % butyric acid (C4:0). The present invention further relates to a bovine milk comprising said milk fat and to a method for producing said milk by feeding a lactating bovine mammal with a rumen-protected linoleic acid source and a rumen-protected alpha-linolenic acid source, followed by milking the lactating bovine animal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to food compositions comprising nutritional composition for use in the treatment or nutritional management of phenylketonuria or hyperphenylalaninemia or for preserving or improving brain function in PKU or hyperphenylalaninemia. The composition comprises a specific protein source, long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and at least one of uridine or cytidine.

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: This invention relates to a balanced fat composition and use thereof in a liquid nutritional composition, in particular suitable for tube feeding. This invention further relates to said liquid nutritional composition for providing enteral nutrition to patients in need thereof, in particular for providing a complete enteral nutrition, in particular for providing a long-term enteral nutrition. More specifically, the balanced fat composition and the liquid nutritional composition comprising said balanced fat composition comprises specific amounts of linoleic acid (LA), alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), at least one medium chain fatty acid (MCFA), and at least one mono-unsaturated fatty acid (MUFA). The invention relates further to a method for providing enteral nutrition to patients in need thereof comprising administering an effective amount of said liquid nutritional composition comprising the balanced fat composition according to the invention.

Abstract: The invention is directed to liquid enteral nutritional compositions comprising a protein fraction comprising more than 25 weight % and up to 80 weight % of a vegetable protein comprising at least a source of pea protein, and a fat fraction comprising (a) 8 to 15 weight % of linoleic acid; (b) 3.0 to 6.0 weight % of a combination of alpha-linolenic acid, docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid, wherein the amount of ALA is >2.5 weight % and the combined amount of DHA and EPA is ?2.5 weight %; (c) 10 to 20 weight % of at least one medium-chain fatty acid; and (d) 35 to 79 weight % of at least one mono-unsaturated fatty acid. The compositions provide for a healthy and balanced diet, which is well-tolerated and minimises clinical complications that are frequently associated with the administration of enteral nutrition in patients using tube feeding, especially with respect to a reduced gastric emptying.
