Abstract
The invention relates to a nutrient for humans and animals, which is characterized in that the nutrient contains at least one non-readily water-soluble glyceride of at least one keto acid or hydroxy acid. The nutrient can be administered together with food, or in the form of an emulsion of the glyceride.
Claims20
A method for supplying nutrient to a human or animal which comprises administering to said human or animal a nutrient containing an effective nutrient amount of at least one not readily water-soluble glyceride of at least one keto or hydroxy acid, having the formula ##STR13## wherein two or three of the groups R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3, independently of each other, are one or more of the groups acetoacetate, alpha-ketopropionate, beta-hydroxybutyrate and alpha-hydroxypropionate, and when only two of the groups R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are any of said groups, the third of them is a hydroxy group or a residue of a saturated or unsaturated fatty acid containing 2 to 24 carbon atoms.
A nutrient for humans and animals in the form of an emulsion containing in the aqueous phase a nutrient effective amount of at least one not readily water-soluble glyceride of at least one keto or hydroxy acid, having the formula ##STR14## wherein two or three of the groups R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3, independently of each other, are one or more of the groups acetoacetate, alpha-ketopropionate, beta-hydroxybutyrate and alpha-hydroxypropionate, and when solely two of the groups R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are any of said groups, the third of them is a hydroxy group or a residue of a saturated or unsaturated fatty acid containing 2 to 24 carbon atoms.
A nutrient for a human or animal containing 2-30 weight/volume percent of at least one not readily water-soluble glyceride of at least one keto or hydroxy acid, having the formula ##STR15## wherein two or three of the groups R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3, independently of each other, are one or more of the groups acetoacetate, alpha-ketopropionate, beta-hydroxybutyrate and alpha-hydroxypropionate, and when solely two of the groups R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are any of said groups, the third of them is a hydroxy group or a residue of a saturated or unsaturated fatty acid containing 2 to 24 carbon atoms.
