Amino acid-based nutritional formulations

摘要

The present invention relates to an amino acid-based nutritional formulation comprising, per 100 g total amino acids, between about 4.5 and about 5 g glutamate. The ratio of cysteine:methionine is in the range of about 0.9:1 to about 1:1.2. The nutritional formulation may also comprise a lipid source, a carbohydrate source, an emulsifier comprising CITREM or DATEM, and amino acids, wherein glutamate is present in an amount of between about 4.5 and about 5 g per 100 g total amino acids.
