US 2019/0037903 A1 · High caloric, high protein nutritional formula comprising collagen

Abstract

A nutritional composition comprises a protein component, a lipid component and a carbohydrate component, minerals, vitamins and water, wherein the protein component comprises at least two different protein sources; wherein the first protein source is hydrolysed collagen; the lipid component provides at least 30 EN % of the total energy of the composition and the first source of protein represents 35-95 wt % based on the total weight of the protein component. The nutritional composition provides a homogeneous emulsion of high energy density (e.g. at least 3 kcal/mL) and high protein density (e.g. at least 14 g/100 mL).

Process for making a nutritional composition comprising a protein component comprising collagen hydrolysate, a lipid component, a carbohydrate component, minerals, vitamins and water, the process comprising the following steps:

i. a first step wherein water is provided and heated to a temperature of 50-70° C.;
ii. a second step wherein the carbohydrate component—or a fraction thereof—and, optionally, an stabilizer, such as MCC, is added;
iii. a third step, wherein the protein component is added;
iv. a fourth step, wherein the lipid component is added, preferably at an elevated temperature of 80-90° C., preferably in combination with a (further) emulsifier and/or stabiliser, such as soy lecithin and/or diacetyl tartric acid of glycerides (e.g. DATEM), and/or (destilled) monoglycerides.;
v. a fifth step wherein vitamins, minerals and, optionally, the remaining fraction of the carbohydrate component are added, optionally, any other powder ingredient may be added in the fifth step, e.g. fibres, aroma, and other additives. At any time before, while or after the fifth step, the mixture is allowed to cool to 55-65° C.
vi. a sixth step, wherein the pH of the mixture is adjusted to 6-9, preferably 7-8, e.g. 7.
vii. a seventh step, wherein the mixture is homogenized, e.g. at 60-65° C. at a pressure of 100/50 bar,
viii. an eighth step, wherein the mixture is sterilized. The eighth step may comprise (8.a) a pre-heating step, (8.b) a heating step and (8.c) an additional homogenization step;
