Abstract
The present invention comprises a novel nutritional dietary composition that can be formulated for oral and enteral administration. The formulation derives substantially all of its protein from soy protein isolate or, in a second embodiment, from soy protein isolate and soy protein concentrate. If desirable, up to 10.0 wt. % of the soy protein component can be replaced with caseinates, free amino acids and mixtures thereof. A carbohydrate such as corn syrup, a gum such as carrageenan gum, a non-reactive magnesium source and optionally, dietary soy protein concentrate as well as various vitamins and other excipients may also make-up the rest of the formulation. The high soy composition provides an inexpensive and high nutritional quality source of protein.
