Abstract
The present invention relates to a nutritional composition comprising an oligosaccharide mixture, said oligosaccharide mixture comprising at least one N-acetylated oligosaccharide, one galacto-oligosaccharide and one sialylated oligosaccharide for use in preventing and/or treating allergy symptoms in an infant or a young child, by increasing SFCA production, in particular colonic acetate, propionate and/or butyrate, in said infant or young children.
Claims11
A method for preventing and/or reducing allergy symptoms in an infant or a young child, by increasing short chain fatty acids (SCFA) production in the infant or young child, the method comprising administering a nutritional composition comprising an oligosaccharide mixture to the infant or young child,
- the oligosaccharide mixture comprising at least one N-acetylated oligosaccharide, at least one galacto-oligosaccharide and at least one sialylated oligosaccharide, and
- the nutritional composition has at least one formulation selected from the group consisting of (i) the at least one N-acetylated oligosaccharide comprises at least one of GalNAcβ1,3Galβ1,4Glc or Galβ1,6GalNAcβ1,4Glc;
- and (ii) the at least one sialylated oligosaccharide comprises at least one of NeuAcβ2,3Galβ1,4Glc or NeuAcβ2,6Galβ1,4Glc.
