Benefits of technology

[0013]It has now surprisingly been found that the size of the lipid globule administered early in life is one of the determinative factors which affect body composition, in particular bone mineral content and bone mass density and/or lean body mass, later in life. The present invention therefore can be used for food compositions intended for infants and/or toddlers in order to increase bone mineral content and/or increase bone mass density. The present invention therefore can be used for food compositions intended for infants and/or toddlers in order to prevent or reduce the risk for osteoporosis later in life, for the enhancement of bone formation and bone mass maximization and for the enhancement of bone formation in infants and young children.
[0014]The present invention also allows to formulate infant milk formulae with high levels of palmitic and stearic acid, as observed in human m

Process for Preparing an IMF with Larger Lipid Globule Size

example 1a

[0137]Infant formulae were prepared by dissolving using demineralised whey powder, lactose, whey protein concentrate, skim milk powder, galacto-oligosaccharides, minerals and vitamin pre-mix in demineralised water to a dry weight content of 22.5 g / 100 g and heating the water phase at 65° C.

[0138]The oil blend was prepared using over 98 wt. % vegetable oils, an oil comprising LC-PUFA, oil soluble vitamins and antioxidants. Both the water phase and the oil blend were heated to 65° C. prior to mixing. The oil blend was added to the water phase and blended with an Ultra-Turrax T50 for about 30-60 s at 5000-1000 rpm. The dry weight of this mixture was about 26%. The product was UHT treated for 30 s at 125° C. and subsequently cooled to 20° C.

[0139]For infant formula 1 the homogenization pressure was 200 and 50 bar, respectively in a Niro Suavi NS 2006 H homogenizer. For infant formula 2 this mixture was homogenized in two steps at a pressure of 5 and 20 bar respectively in a Niro Suavi N...

[0142]An infant formula was prepared comprising per kg powder 4800 kcal, 248 g lipid, 540 g digestible carbohydrates, 55 g non-digestible oligosaccharides and 103 g protein. The composition was prepared using BAEF powder (Corman, Goé, Belgium), a vegetable oil blend, demineralised whey powder, lactose, non-digestible oligosaccharides (galacto-oligosaccharides and long chain fructo-oligosaccharides in a weight ratio of 9 / 1). Also vitamins, minerals, trace elements as known in the art were used.

[0143]The amount of BAEF was such that 7.24 wt. % phospholipids (from BAEF) based on total lipids were present in the composition. Based on a small amounts of phospholipids in the oil blend, the total amount of phospholipids was 7.39 wt. % based on total lipid. BAEF also supplied a small amount of cholesterol (about 0.08 wt. % based on total lipid of the infant formula) and glycosphingolipids (about 1.65% glycosphingolipids based on total lipid of the infant formula). The BAEF powder was mixed ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a nutritional composition for infants and/or toddlers comprising a lipid component which has a large lipid globule size, having a volume weighted mode diameter above 1.0 μm and/or with a diameter of 2 to 12 μm in a amount of at least 45 volume % based on total lipid. The composition can be used to increase bone mineral content and/or bone mass density, to prevent osteoporosis and/or osteopenia and for the further prevention of obesity.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to the field of infant milk formula and growing up milks for improving bone health.BACKGROUND[0002]Breast-feeding is the preferred method of feeding infants. However, there are circumstances that make breast-feeding impossible or less desirable. In those cases infant formulae are a good alternative. The composition of modern infant formulae is adapted in such a way that it meets many of the special nutritional requirements of the fast growing and developing infant.[0003]However, differences between breast feeding and feeding infant formulae exist. Breastfeeding in early life is associated with higher bone mass density and bone mineral content later in life during childhood and early adolescence compared with those who were bottle-fed. The implication of this observation is that osteoporosis prevention programs need to start very early in the life cycle. Adult degenerative bone disease (osteoporosis), a major public health problem in ...
