Carbohydrate fraction and use thereof for a flat postprandial glucose response

摘要

The invention relates to a combination of heat-treated nutritional composition having a carbohydrate fraction comprising a) 5-30 wt % of one or more monosaccharides selected from galactose, ribose and mannose; b) carbohydrates capable of providing b1) sustained release glucose and b2) rapidly available glucose; c) optionally fructose; d) glucose-containing disaccharides other than maltose and sucrose; and e) optionally sugar polyols. The invention also pertains to the use of such a heat-treated nutritional composition for controlling glucose levels in blood and/or tissue, especially for preventing and/or treating diabetics, insulin-resistance, obesity, postprandial glucose response, metabolic syndrome, syndrome X, hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, hyperinsulinemia, dyslipidemia, dysfibrinolysis and/or disorders associated with major surgery or trauma.

主权项

1. A heat-treated liquid nutritional composition comprising lipids, proteins and digestible carbohydrates, wherein the digestible carbohydrates in said composition comprise:
a: 5-30 wt. % galactose; b: carbohydrates capable of providing b(1) sustained-release glucose and b(2) rapidly available glucose; c: optionally fructose, wherein the amount of fructose is 0-10 wt. %; d: optionally glucose-containing disaccharides other than maltose and sucrose, wherein the amount of glucose-containing disaccharides other than maltose and sucrose is 0-30 wt. %; and e: optionally sugar polyols, wherein the amount of sugar polyols is 0-14 wt. %, wherein the percentages are based on the dry weight of the sum of groups a-e in the heat-treated liquid nutritional composition, said composition comprising 0.5-10 wt. % heat-treated resistant starch comprising 8-55% of non-digestible starch (NDS), 35-50% of slowly digestible starch (SDS) and 20-50% of readily digestible starch (RDS), the total of NDS, SDS and RDS being 100%.
