Composition for nutrition

摘要

A prepn. (I), esp. a liq. food for enteral and/or oral nutrition, partic. in immuno-deficient or tumour patients, contains protein and/or protein hydrolysate, carbohydrates, fat, bulking material and water, and has a fat content of 20-30 energy %. The fatty acid (FA) profile of (I) is as follows: (a) MCT (medium chain triglyceride) content of 30-70%, (b) ratio of omega -3-FA to omega -6-FA of 1:3.1-7 (pref. 1:3.1-5). (c) ratio of omega -6-FA to omega -9-FA or 1:0.7-1.4 and (d) ratio of mono-unsatd. FA to poly-unsatd. FA of 1:0.5-1.5. The protein component includes 0.5-3.0 (pref. 0.7-2) g of glutamine per 100 ml of ready-for-use soln. An alternative claimed prepn. (II), used as for (I) and having the same basic components and glutamine content, has a fat content of 20-60 (pref. 40-60) energy % and has no limitations on the FA profile.
