Benefits of technology

The patent text discusses the importance of subcutaneous adipose tissue in infants and how reducing visceral adipose tissue while increasing subcutaneous adipose tissue is beneficial for infants undergoing catch-up growth, such as preterm and SGA infants. The text suggests that reducing overall adipose tissue mass and increasing lean body mass is not a suitable solution for solving the problem of increased risk of developing obesity and associated disorders in infants. The technical effect of the patent text is to provide a beneficial solution for helping infants grow healthily while reducing the risk of obesity-related complications.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore a mere reduction in overall adipose tissue mass and / or an increase in lean body mass alone is not a way to solve the problems of increased risk of developing obesity and associated disorders in infants, and especially not in preterm and / or SGA infants.

Process for Preparing an IMF with Larger Lipid Globule Size

[0140]An infant formula was prepared as described in example 1 of WO 2013 / 135738. In particular, an infant formula in the form of a powder was prepared comprising per kg final product about 4800 kcal, about 247 g lipid, about 540 g digestible carbohydrates, about 41 g non-digestible oligosaccharides and about 97 g protein. The composition was prepared using butter milk serum powder enriched in milk phospholipids, a vegetable oil blend (lipid), demineralised whey powder (protein), lactose, and non-digestible oligosaccharides. Also vitamins, minerals, trace elements as known in the art were used.

[0141]The amount of butter milk serum powder was such that 1.62 wt. % phospholipids based on total lipids were present in the final composition. An aqueous phase, comprising the butter milk powder, protein and digestible carbohydrates and the other ingredients, except the lipid and lipid soluble vitamins, was prepared as known in the a...

An Early in Life Diet with Large Lipid Globules and Milk Phospholipids Improves Catch-Up Growth in IUGR Rats

[0145]Methods: Male offspring of Wistar dams either underwent prenatal bilateral uterine artery and vein operation (LIG) or a sham operation (SOP) on day 19 of the first pregnancy of the dams. Offspring of dams without treatment served as controls (C). Control diet 1 or experimental diet 2 was provided for 4 weeks between postnatal days 15 (P15) and 42 (P42).

Control and Experimental Diets were:

[0146]Diet 1: The control diet was a standard infant milk formula (IMF) based control diet. This diet comprised 282 g standard Nutrilon 1® per kg, having lipid globules with a volume weighted mode diameter of 0.4 μm, and no added polar lipids. The rest of the diet was AIN-93G protein, carbohydrates and fibre. The volume % of lipid globules with a size between 2 and 12 m was below 40% based on total lipid volume. All lipid present in the diet was derived from the IMF.

[0147]Diet 2: The exp...

Infant Formula for Premature or Low Birthweight Infants

[0163]A preterm or low birth weight formula comprising per 100 ml, of which 87.4 g water and 12.6 g dry matter:[0164]Energy: 81 kcal[0165]Protein: 2.64 g (bovine whey protein / casein 6 / 4 wt / wt ratio)[0166]Digestible carbohydrates: 8.40 (2.37 g starch, 5.73 sugars (mainly lactose))[0167]Lipid: 3.9 g, a mix of rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, coconut oil, palm kernel oil, corn oil, single cell oil, milk fat (including polar lipids) and fish oil, with the same lipid globule architecture as in example 1 (comprising 503 mg LA, 72 mg ALA, 17.7 mg ARA, 13.6 mg DHA)[0168]Non digestible oligosaccharides: 0.8 g (galacto-oligosaccharides (short chain—average DP below 7) and fructo-oligosaccharides (long chain—average DP above 7) in a 9 / 1 wt / wt ratio), representing 0.6 g fiber according to EU regulation.[0169]Vitamins, minerals and other micronutrients according to guidelines.

Abstract

The invention relates to nutritional compositions comprising specifically designed lipid globules that are especially suited for preterm infants, small for gestational age infants and infants with retarded growth due to physical or mental stress after birth, for promoting catch-up growth and / or for use in improving body composition, improving adipose tissue distribution, decreasing visceral adipose tissue based on body weight and / or on total adipose tissue, and / or decreasing the ratio visceral adipose tissue to subcutaneous adipose tissue, in such infants, and / or providing nutrition to such infants.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to nutritional compositions for preterm or low birth weight infantsBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Human milk is generally recognized as the ideal feeding for infants due to its overall nutritional composition. For a preterm infant and / or infant small for gestational age (SGA infant), however, the milk of their own mother does not always meet their complete nutritional needs, even though the milk of mothers of preterm infants appears to be adapted to the specific needs of preterms. Therefore, for these infants special nutritional formulae have been designed and marketed, which differ in composition from standard infant formula. Typically such preterm formulae have a higher energy and protein content, to enable an increased growth rate. A review on the ESPGHAN nutritional guidelines for such formulae is given in Agostoni et al, JPGN 2010, 50:85-91.[0003]After birth, initially these preterm and / or SGA infants grow more rapidly than te...
