AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The present disclosure is about a nutritional composition for pediatric subjects that includes a lipid or fat, a protein source, and a source of β-glucan. The composition also includes a prebiotic composition that provides an increased population of beneficial bacteria in the human gut over an extended period of time. The prebiotic composition includes a combination of galacto-oligosaccharide and polydextrose. The nutritional composition has improved digestibility and can enhance immune system function of a pediatric subject by administering β-glucan in a milk-based matrix."

Problems solved by technology

Newborns are generally protected by antibodies received through the placenta before birth and subsequently through breast milk after birth; yet newborns do not have mature immune systems and are often incapable of mounting an effective immune response.
470) Consequently, newborns are not able to limit invading pathogens due to a generalized hypofunction of their inflammatory and immune mechanisms.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to milk-based nutritional compositions for pediatric subjects, such as children's nutritional products and infant formulas, comprising a protein source, a fat source, a carbohydrate source, and a source of β-1,3-glucan.

Description

BACKGROUND TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present disclosure relates to milk-based nutritional compositions for pediatric subjects, such as infant formulas and children's nutritional products. Moreover, the disclosure is further directed to methods for enhancing immune function in a pediatric subject, comprising administering to a pediatric subject an effective amount of β-glucan in a milk-based matrix.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Infants and children are exposed to a variety of pathogens, and consequently, the incidence of infectious diseases peaks in the first 4 years of life. Newborns are generally protected by antibodies received through the placenta before birth and subsequently through breast milk after birth; yet newborns do not have mature immune systems and are often incapable of mounting an effective immune response. Indeed, on a cellular level, infants have a decreased ability to concentrate leukocytes where necessary. (Maternity and Gynecologic Care, Bobak, Jensen, Zalar, Fourth Editio...
