Abstract
A novel and low allergenic nutrient composition is discribed. The composition contains Kappa-caseinglycomacropeptide and, optionally, one or more other amino acid sources selected from amino acids, peptides, or proteins, as nitrogen sources. The nutrient composition provides a favorable taste, no allergenicity, a high nutritive value, good absorptivity and digestibility, and a superior antiinfective effect. It can be served as formulas, enteral feeding nutrients, tube feeding nutrients, or nutritious supplements.
Claims2
A method of providing a low allergenic nutrient composition, comprising the steps of:
- preparing a composition which includes 70-85% by weight of Kappa-caseinglycomacropeptide as a primary source of nitrogen;
- said composition including 30-15% by weight of at least one member selected from the group consisting L-leucine, L-lysine, methionine, L-cysteine, phenylalanine, L-tyrosine, L-tryptophan, L-arginine, L-histidine, L-valine, L-isoleucine, and glycine;
- and
- providing said composition to a person susceptible to allergenic reactions.
A low allergenic nutrient composition, comprising:
- an amount of Kappa-caseinglycomacropeptide as a nitrogen source, wherein said amount of Kappa-caseinglycomacropeptide is 70-85% by weight;
- and
- at least one member selected from the group consisting of L-leucine, L-lysine, methionine, L-cysteine, phenylalanine, L-tyrosine, L-tryptophan, L-arginine, L-histidine, L-valine, L-isoleucine, and glycine which is 30-15% by weight of said composition.
