Claims16
A liquid nutritional composition comprising a lipid fraction, a protein fraction and a glucide fraction comprising at least both glucose polymers and slowly absorbed glucides, wherein the fractions are selected such that the composition remains liquid after a heat treatment.
A process for the preparation of a liquid nutritional composition comprising:
- forming an emulsion in aqueous phase with a lipid fraction and slowly absorbed glucides;
- admixing the latter with a water-soluble phase of a protein fraction and a glucide phase comprised of glucose polymers and at least 20% by weight of slowly absorbed glucides, wherein the fractions are selected such that the composition remains liquid after a heat treatment.
A liquid nutritional composition for providing nutrition to a patient with a metabolic abnormality due to the abnormal metabolism of glucide or lipid comprising a lipid fraction, a protein fraction and a glucide fraction comprising at least both glucose polymers and slowly absorbed glucides wherein the fractions are selected such that the composition remains liquid after a heat treatment.
A method for providing nutrition to a patient with a metabolic abnormality due to the abnormal metabolism of glucide or lipid comprising the step of administering to the patient a composition comprising a lipid fraction, a protein fraction and a glucide fraction comprising at least both glucose polymers and slowly absorbed glucides.
