Abstract
The present invention is in the field of protein compositions, in particular protein compositions for infant milk formula. The protein compositions according to the invention comprise whey protein, casein and high isoelectric point proteins, such as those having an isoelectric point of at least 6.0. The present invention further relates to the uses of the protein compositions.
Claims14
A composition comprising casein, whey protein and at least one high isoelectric protein from a non-dairy source, said high isoelectric protein having an isoelectric point of between 6.0 and 11, wherein the weight ratio of the sum of casein and whey protein to the high-isoelectric protein in the composition is between 95:5 and 75:25, wherein the composition is an infant formula comprising 0.8-3.0 g/100 ml protein when in liquid form.
A composition comprising casein, whey protein and at least one high isoelectric protein from a non-dairy source, said high isoelectric protein having an isoelectric point of between 6.0 and 11, wherein the weight ratio of the sum of casein and whey protein to the high-isoelectric protein in the composition is between 95:5 and 75:25, wherein the composition is an infant formula, wherein the infant formula comprises lipid, protein and digestible carbohydrates, with 5 to 20 energy % protein, based on total calories provided by the composition, and wherein the infant formula comprises 50 to 90 kcal/100 ml when in liquid form.
A composition comprising casein, whey protein and at least one high isoelectric protein from a non-dairy source, said high isoelectric protein having an isoelectric point of between 6.0 and 11, wherein the weight ratio of the sum of casein and whey protein to the high-isoelectric protein in the composition is between 95:5 and 75:25, wherein the composition is an infant formula in liquid form, comprising 0.8-3.0 g/100 ml protein.
A composition comprising casein, whey protein and at least one high isoelectric protein from a non-dairy source, said high isoelectric protein having an isoelectric point of between 6.0 and 11, wherein the weight ratio of the sum of casein and whey protein to the high-isoelectric protein in the composition is between 95:5 and 75:25, wherein the composition is an infant formula in liquid form, wherein the infant formula comprises lipid, protein and digestible carbohydrates, with 5 to 20 energy % protein, based on total calories provided by the composition, and wherein the infant formula comprises 50 to 90 kcal/100 ml when in liquid form.
