Nutrition for prevention of infections

a technology for preventing infections and nutrients, applied in the field of nutritional composition, can solve the problems of reducing using probiotics, and being living microorganisms themselves, and achieve the effects of reducing the permeability of the intestinal barrier, reducing the translocation of bacteria, and increasing the function of the intestinal barrier

Benefits of technology

[0011]The present inventors have surprisingly found that a combination of i) a product obtained by incubating an aqueous substrate with bifidobacteria, wherein the substrate is at least one selected from the group consisting of milk, milk protein, whey, whey protein, whey protein hydrolysate, casein hydrolysate, and lactose and subsequently inactivating the bifidobacteria by heating the incubated mixture and/or removing the bifidobacteria cells from the incubated mixture by centrifugation and/or filtration and ii) at least two different non-digestible carbohydrates, wherein at least one, preferably two, is selected from the group consisting of fructo-oligosaccharides, galacto-oligosaccharides, gluco-oligosaccharides, arabino-oligosaccharides, mannan-oligosaccharides, xylo-oligosaccharides, fuco-oligosaccharides, arabinogalacto-oligosaccharides, glucomanno-oligosaccharides, galactomanno-oligosaccharides, raffinose, lactosucrose, sialic acid comprising oligosaccharides and uronic acid oligosaccharides, synergistically increase resistance against infections. A decreased bacterial translocation across the intestinal barrier was observed in animals having consumed the present composition, compared to animals having consumed the single components. This is indicative of an increased intestinal barrier function or decreased intestinal barrier permeability.
[0012]The synergistic effect between the combination of the ingredients i) and ii) as defined above is surprising. It cannot be explained by a symbiotic effect, wh

Enhanced Effect of Milk-Derived Product Incubated by Lactic Acid Producing Bacteria and Non-Digestible Carbohydrates on Infection

[0102]Male BALB / c mice, n=25 per group and 3-4 weeks of age, received the following diets for 4 weeks at lib.

1 An AIN-93 (balanced semi-synthetic rodent chow) mixed 1:1 (w / w) with the infant milk formula Gallia Apaisia 1. Apaisia 1 is a commercially available IMF comprising an incubated aqueous substrate (comprising milk, milk protein, whey, whey protein, and / or lactose), obtained by separate incubation with Streptococcus thermophilus CNCM-1620 and Bifidobacterium breve CNCM I-2219. In this preparation S. thermophilus and B. breve incubated mixtures obtained in step a) and d) are heat killed immediately after the incubation step (step b) and e), respectively. The final amount of the with B. breve incubated aqueous substrate mixture is about 16 wt. % based on dry weight of the IMF.

Infant Milk Formula

[0108]Pasteurized skimmed cow's milk was concentrated by evaporation to about 43 wt. % dry matter based on weight of the skimmed cow's milk. The concentrate was cooled to about 37° C., was then inoculated with about 10% (v / w) B. breve CNCM I-2219 culture comprising 3×109 cfu per ml. This inoculum was prepared as known in the art. The initial pH was between 6-7.1. After incubating for 8 h at 37° C., in a tank with periodic stirring for 10 minutes every 2 hours, the pH stayed between 6-7.1 and the B. breve population was about 106 bacteria / ml (step (a)).

[0109]A pre-warmed inoculum was prepared from S. thermophilus CNCM I-1620 culture by maintaining a frozen inoculum for about 7 h at about 40° C. Pasteurized lactose solution (between 350 and 450 g / l) was cooled to about 45 and 55° C., and then inoculated with about 10% (v / w) S. thermophilus CNCM I-1620 pre-warmed inoculum comprising about 3×109 cfu per ml. The initial pH was about pH 6. After incubating for about 7 h...

Abstract

A nutritional composition comprising a combination of non-digestible oligosaccharides and a product obtained by incubating an aqueous substrate by bifidobacteria and optionally a product obtained by incubating an aqueous substrate by S. thermophilus. Said combination reduces bacterial translocation and improves the intestinal barrier function.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a nutritional composition, in particular an infant nutrition, for decreasing intestinal barrier permeability and / or treating or prevention of infections.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The barrier of the intestine is immature in the newborn infant. As a result of a decreased intestinal barrier, or increased intestinal permeability, newborn infants are prone to bacterial translocation and translocation of toxins and allergens. Infants fed a conventional infant formula have an even increased intestinal permeability function compared to breast fed infants. One solution is to use probiotic bacteria to treat disorders associated with increased intestinal permeability. However, the use of probiotics, being living micro-organisms themselves, in subjects with a decreased intestinal barrier function may not be safe as in some cases these probiotics are able translocate across the intestinal barrier and cause systemic infections th...
