Abstract: A composition for an infant formula which includes casein protein and whey protein; a method of producing the composition; use of the composition in the manufacture of a medicament or nutritional product for addressing malnutrition; and a method of addressing malnutrition which includes administering an effective amount of the composition are provided. The composition includes protein, free arginine; tryptophan and histidine, a lipid source and a carbohydrate source. In addition, the whey protein is sweet whey protein from which caseino-glyco-macropeptide has been removed.

Abstract: A composition is provided that provides a nutritionally complete calorically dense formula suitable for use as a ready-to-use liquid composition that does not require reconstitution and admixing, which contains intact whey protein in high concentration and which is shelf stable for up to 6 months or more at ambient temperature.

Abstract: A laser diode arrangement has a joint electrically insulating substrate, a plurality of laser diodes arranged in the joint electrically insulated substrate, conductor structures provided on the substrate so that, the laser diodes are connected with one another through the conductor structures, and a joint control of the laser diodes.

Abstract: A composition for an infant formula which comprises a low threonine content; a method of producing the composition; use of the composition in the manufacture of a medicament or nutritional product for addressing the nutritional needs and providing healthy growth of an infant; and a method of addressing the nutritional needs and providing healthy growth of an infant which comprises administering an effective amount of the composition. A preferred embodiment of the composition comprises all of: i) acid whey protein or sweet whey protein from which caseino-glyco-macropeptide has been removed; and ii) free arginine; and iii) free histidine; and iv) free tyrosine or free tryptophan or tryptophan rich milk protein or a mixture thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to liquid, sterilized food compositions including about 20 to 45% by weight of a milk, between about 10 to 20% by weight of egg, between about 10 to 20% by weight of cream, between about 15 to 30% by weight of a sugar, and whey protein in an amount of about 4 to 10% by weight, wherein the compositions are suitable for making heat-set gelled food products. The invention also relates to a process for making such compositions by preparing an acid phase of an acid, the whey protein and water; preparing a neutral phase of the milk, sugar, egg and cream components; sterilizing the acid phase and neutral phase separately from one another; and then combining the sterilized acid phase and the sterilized neutral phase to obtain the compositions.

Abstract: An enteral composition of protein, glucides, lipids and minerals, which is suitable for tube feeding, employs native micellar casein as the protein. The composition is prepared by obtaining native micellar casein and combining it with the glucides, lipids and minerals. A dispersion of micellar casein may be obtained by microfiltering milk, particularly skim milk, and glucides and minerals are dispersed in the micellar casein retentate obtained, lipids are added to the resulting dispersion and then the mixture is homogenized and sterilized. The microfiltered retentate may be diafiltered for obtaining the dispersion.

Abstract: A sterilized milk composition is based upon the natural constituents of milk and has reduced phosphorous, sodium, potassium and citrate contents. The composition is derived, in particular, from skimmed milk and has a non-fat dry matter solids content which includes, by weight based upon the weight of the non-fat solids, from 33% and 36% protein, 48% to 58% lactose and 3% to 5% minerals, and the minerals include a calcium content in an amount of from 75% to 100% of that of the skimmed milk, a phosphorous content in an amount of from 50% to 75% of that of the skimmed milk, a sodium content in an amount of from 5% to 20% of that of the skimmed milk, a potassium content in an amount of from 5% to 20% of that of the skimmed milk and a citrate content in an amount of from 10% to 30% of that of the skimmed milk.

Abstract: A dairy composition is prepared by ultrafiltering or microfiltering a skimmed milk to obtain a retentate having a skimmed milk/retentate volume ratio of from 3-6 and by mixing lactose with the retentate to provide a composition having nonfat dry matter solids in an amount of from 20% to 30% by weight and which has by weight, based upon a weight of non-fat solids in the composition, from 33% to 36% protein, from 48% to 58% lactose and from 3% to 5% minerals, wherein the calcium content is from 75% to 100% that of the milk, a phosphorous content is from 50% to 75% that of the milk, a sodium content is from 5% to 20% that of the milk, a potassium content is from 5% to 20% that of the milk, and a citrate content is from 10% to 30% that of the milk.

Abstract: To prepare a hypoallergenic whey protein hydrolyzate product, particularly for employment in infant formula, whey material first is hydrolyzed with a proteolytic enzyme and then the enzymatic hydrolyzate is subjected to a heat treatment to denature proteins which remain intact after the first hydrolysis and which constitute allergens, and then the heated hydrolyzate is cooled. The cooled heat-treated hydrolyzate then is hydrolyzed by a proteolytic enzyme to provide a hydrolyzate substantially free of allergens of protean origin.

Abstract: To prepare thermally gelled emulsions without having to add thickeners or to add calcium, an aqueous medium containing gellable whey proteins is homogenized with a lipidic medium under intensive conditions, after which the emulsion is heat-treated.The process may be used for preparing, for example, egg custards, omelettes, pancakes, quiches, sausages, jellies, desserts and spreadable creams having excellent organoleptic properties.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composition for topical administration. This composition contains an active proportion, namely from 0.5 to 25% by weight and preferably from 2 to 10% by weight, of a hydrolysate of lactalbumin obtained solely by the action of an endopeptidase, said hydrolysate consisting essentially of peptides having a molecular weight of from 200 to 5000.This composition may be used as a cosmetic or therapeutic agent.
