Claims24
A liquid enteral nutritional composition comprising 6 to 14 of protein per 100 ml of the composition, the protein comprising micellar casein and caseinate, the composition having an energy density of at least 2.0 kcal/ml, and wherein the weight ratio of micellar casein to caseinate ranges from 90:10 to 35:65.
A liquid enteral nutritional composition comprising to 14 g of protein per 100 ml of the composition, the protein comprising micellar casein, caseinate and whey, the composition having an energy density of at least 2.0 kcal/ml, and wherein the weight ratio of micellar casein to whey ranges from 95:5 to 70:30.
A liquid enteral nutritional composition comprising to 14 g of protein per 100 ml of the composition, the protein comprising micellar casein and caseinate, the composition having an energy density of about 2.4 kcal/ml and comprising:
- a) about 9.6 g of protein per 100 ml of the composition, the protein comprising a mixture of micellar casein and caseinate with a weight ratio of about 65:35, the protein providing about 16% of the total energy content of the composition;
- b) fat, the fat providing about 35% of the total energy content of the composition;
- and
- c) carbohydrate, the carbohydrate providing about 49% of the total energy content of the composition, the composition.
