Abstract
The present invention relates to a composition to a nutritional composition comprising 0.1 to 15 gram fermentable partially hydrolysed gum having a degree of polymerisation between 10 and 300 per 100 gram dry weight of the composition and 0.1 to 15 gram fermentable, indigestible polysaccharide other than a hydrolysed gum having a DP between 10 and 300 per 100 gram dry weight of the composition.
Claims16
A method for providing nutrition to an infant comprising administering a nutritional composition to the infant, said composition having a caloric density of 50 to 200 kcal/100 ml and comprising:
- a) an indigestible, fermentable, partially hydrolysed gum having a degree of polymerisation (DP) between 10 and 300 in an amount of 0.1 to 15 grams per 100 g dry weight of said nutritional composition;
- b) an indigestible, fermentable, soluble polysaccharide having a DP between 10 and 300 in an amount of 0.1 to 15 gram per 100 g dry weight of said nutritional composition, excluding the weight of the partially hydrolysed gum;
- and
- c) 5 to 16 energy % protein, 35 to 60 energy % fat and 25 to 75 energy % carbohydrates,
- wherein the weight ratio a):b) is between 19:1 and 1:19.
A composition comprising 5 to 16 energy % protein, 35 to 60 energy % fat;
- and 25 to 75 energy % carbohydrates, and:
- a) 0.1 to 15 gram indigestible, fermentable, partially hydrolysed gum having a degree of polymerisation (DP) between 10 and 300 per 100 gram dry weight of the composition;
- and
- b) 0.1 to 15 gram indigestible, fermentable, soluble polysaccharide having a DP between 10 and 300 per 100 gram dry weight of the composition other than partially hydrolysed gum,
- wherein the weight ratio a):b) is between 19:1 and 1:19.
A method of treating and/or preventing allergy, atopic disease, eczema, intestinal cramps or colics, intestinal infections, diarrhea, inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, or combinations thereof, the method comprising administering a composition comprising 5 to 16 energy % protein, 35 to 60 energy % fat;
- and 25 to 75 energy % carbohydrates, and:
- a) 0.1 to 15 gram indigestible, fermentable, partially hydrolysed gum having a degree of polymerisation (DP) between 10 and 300 per 100 gram dry weight of the composition;
- and
- b) 0.1 to 15 gram indigestible, fermentable, soluble polysaccharide having a DP between 10 and 300 per 100 gram dry weight of the composition other than partially hydrolysed gum,
- wherein the weight ratio a):b) is between 19:1 and 1:19.
