Abstract

UHT treated liquid nutritional compositions are provided having a high caloric content of around 2.0 kcal/ml and higher, a savoury taste and comprising protein, carbohydrate and fat components. The nutritional compositions are for use in the treatment of patients having high energy needs.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A high calorie, UHT treated liquid nutritional composition comprising protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals,
 having an energy density of 1.8-2.8 kcal/ml,   wherein the protein content is 9-14 g/100 ml, and   the carbohydrates comprise at least 90 wt. % (based on total carbohydrates) of maltodextrins having a dextrose equivalent (DE) of 13-22.   
     
     
         2 . The high calorie, UHT treated liquid nutritional composition according to  claim 1 , wherein the maltodextrins have a DE of 15-18. 
     
     
         3 . The high calorie, UHT treated liquid nutritional composition according to  claim 1 , wherein protein presents 15-25 EN %, fat 30-40 EN %, and carbohydrates 40-50 EN % of the total caloric content of the nutritional composition. 
     
     
         4 . The high calorie, UHT treated liquid nutritional composition according to  claim 1 , wherein the total concentration of chloride ions in the nutritional composition is 0.6-0.9 g/L. 
     
     
         5 . The high calorie, UHT treated liquid nutritional composition according to  claim 1 , wherein the protein is selected from one or more of milk protein, milk protein isolate, milk protein concentrate, casein, sodium caseinate and calcium caseinate. 
     
     
         6 . The high calorie, UHT treated liquid nutritional composition according to  claim 1 , wherein the fat is selected from vegetable oils. 
     
     
         7 . The high calorie, UHT treated liquid nutritional composition according to  claim 1 , comprising salts of sodium and/or potassium cations and anions selected from the group of chlorides, carbonates, citrates, gluconates, and tartrates. 
     
     
         8 . The high calorie, UHT treated liquid nutritional composition according to  claim 7 , comprising sodium carbonate at 0.25-0.60 g/L. 
     
     
         9 . The high calorie, UHT treated liquid nutritional composition according to  claim 7 , comprising sodium citrate at 0.5-3.0 g/L. 
     
     
         10 . The high calorie, UHT treated liquid nutritional composition according to  claim 7 , comprising potassium carbonate at 0.25-0.90 g/L. 
     
     
         11 . The high calorie, UHT treated liquid nutritional composition according to  claim 7 , comprising potassium citrate at 0.5-3.0 g/L. 
     
     
         12 . The high calorie, UHT treated liquid nutritional composition according to  claim 7 , having a pH of 6.7-8 achieved by the addition of an acid. 
     
     
         13 . The high calorie, UHT treated liquid nutritional composition according to  claim 12 , wherein the acid is selected from the group of phosphoric acid, hydrochloric acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid and lactic acid, preferably hydrochloric acid. 
     
     
         14 . The high calorie, UHT treated liquid nutritional composition according to  claim 1 , comprising a soup taste enhancing agent and/or a sweetness masking agent. 
     
     
         15 . The high calorie, UHT treated liquid nutritional composition according to  claim 1 , obtainable by a process comprising
 a first step wherein the protein is dissolved in water,   a second step wherein the sweetness masking agent is added, and   one or more subsequent steps wherein all remaining ingredients are added.   
     
     
         16 . The high calorie, UHT treated liquid nutritional composition according to  claim 2 , wherein protein presents 15-25 EN %, fat 30-40 EN %, and carbohydrates 40-50 EN % of the total caloric content of the nutritional composition. 
     
     
         17 . The high calorie, UHT treated liquid nutritional composition according to  claim 2 , wherein the total concentration of chloride ions in the nutritional composition is 0.6-0.9 g/L. 
     
     
         18 . The high calorie, UHT treated liquid nutritional composition according to  claim 2 , wherein the protein is selected from one or more of milk protein, milk protein isolate, milk protein concentrate, casein, sodium caseinate and calcium caseinate. 
     
     
         19 . The high calorie, UHT treated liquid nutritional composition according to  claim 2 , wherein the protein is selected from one or more of milk protein, milk protein isolate, milk protein concentrate, casein, sodium caseinate and calcium caseinate. 
     
     
         20 . The high calorie, UHT treated liquid nutritional composition according to  claim 2 , wherein the fat is selected from vegetable oils
