Benefits of technology

The patent describes a nutritional drink that helps prevent and improve a decrease in muscle mass in elderly people. The drink contains specific amounts of lysine, dipeptides with lysine, and n-3 fatty acid. It also has a beneficial effect on hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia by reducing obesity and visceral fat accumulation.

Problems solved by technology

A decrease in skeletal muscle reduces the amount of activity elderly people are able to do, and the decreased amount of activity can cause further loss of muscle strength, thus forming a vicious circle.
A decrease in the amount of activity also can decrease the basal energy metabolism.
Moreover, elderly people have a high risk of falling when undernourished.
Even when energy ingestion is increased in an attempt to improve the nutrient condition, muscle mass cannot be recovered.
However, ingesting a large amount of amino acids, such as up to 18 g, all at once not only is difficult for elderly people due to their depressed kidney function due to aging, but also is risky since it may over burden on the kidneys.
However, this is because the protein composition of the staple food is not balanced and lysine becomes a limiting amino acid.
However, this decrease is vastly different from the muscle mass decrease in general elderly people experience due to a decreased amount of activity by being bedridden and the like, and the effect is unknown.

Preparation of Nutritional Composition

[0089]The nutritional composition shown in Table 1 was prepared with the goal of providing an optimum nutritional effect for elderly people. The amounts of the starting materials of the liquid are shown in Table 2. Each component and an emulsifier were added to water, mixed, and an emulsion step was repeatedly performed in a high-pressure emulsifying machine under pressurization of 500-1,000 kg / cm2 to give an emulsion composition. As the amino acid composition, L-leucine (0.38 g), L-valine (0.19 g), L-isoleucine (0.23 g) and L-lysine (0.32 g) were added per 100 kcal of the composition. In this case, the total amount of the branched chain amino acids (leucine, valine, isoleucine) including those derived from a protein was 1.46 g per 100 kcal of the composition. The emulsion composition was placed in an aluminum bag by a conventional filling machine, and sterilized by a retort sterilization machine under general conditions. The nutritional composi...

Preparation of Integrated Nutritional Composition

[0090]In the same manner as in Example 1, the nutritional composition shown in Table 3 was prepared. In the same manner as in Example 1, each component and an emulsifier were added to water, mixed, and an emulsion step was repeatedly performed several times in a high-pressure emulsifying machine under pressurization of 50-500 kg / cm2 to give an emulsion composition. As the amino acid composition, L-leucine (0.28 g), L-valine (0.14 g), L-isoleucine (0.14 g) and L-lysine (0.28 g) were added per 100 kcal of the composition. In this case, the total amount of the branched chain amino acids (leucine, valine, isoleucine) including those derived from a protein is 1.30 g per 100 kcal of the composition. The emulsion composition was placed in an aluminum bag by a conventional filling machine, and sterilized by a retort sterilization machine under general conditions. The nutritional composition of this Example stably contained all ingredients one...

Preparation of Powder Nutritional Composition

[0091]The powder type nutritional composition shown in Table 4 was prepared. The amounts of the starting materials of the liquid are shown in Table 5. Each component and an emulsifier were added to an appropriate amount of water, mixed, and an emulsion step was repeatedly performed several times in a high-pressure emulsifying machine under pressurization of 2-50 kg / cm2 to give an emulsion composition. This emulsion composition was spray dried to give a powder nutritional composition. As the amino acid composition, L-leucine (3.9 g), L-valine (2.4 g), L-isoleucine (2.0 g) and L-lysine (4.1 g) were added per 100 kcal of the composition. This powder nutritional composition was placed in an aluminum bag by a conventional filling machine. The powder nutritional composition of this Example stably contained all ingredients one year later. This nutritional composition could be used even after dissolving in warm water and mixing with a nutritional...

Abstract

A nutritional composition is provided which has an effective prophylactic and / or improving effect for various symptoms of muscle mass decrease, decreased basal metabolism, low body temperature, suppression of obesity, suppression of visceral fat accumulation, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and the like in elderly people. The nutritional composition can include n-3 fatty acid and one or more of free lysine, dipeptides containing lysine, and lysine salts, wherein the content of free lysine, dipeptides containing lysine, and / or lysine salts is 0.1 g-10.0 g per 100 kcal of the composition, and the content of the total amount of n-3 fatty acid is 0.17 g-5.00 g per 100 kcal of the composition.
