Highly protein enteral compositions sterilized by heat with milk serum protein which include whey protein micelles from milk serum and a source of casein
the present invention refers to a liquid enteral heat sterilized composition comprising: a protein source in an amount of 12 to 20% by weight of the composition, where the protein source comprises milk serum protein which preferably contains milk serum protein micelles and a source of casein and, optionally, other proteins. the heat-sterilized enteral composition of the invention preferably has a cysteine content of at least 1,2% by weight of the protein source. the present invention also refers to,to a process to prepare such heat-sterilized enteral composition that includes protein in an amount of 12 to 20% by weight based on the composition weight, the said protein comprises whey protein from milk containing whey micelles of milk serum protein and casein and, optionally, other proteins. the method consists of: (i) providing an aqueous solution from a protein source comprising milk serum protein protein protein protein protein containing whey micelles and (ii) adding a source of protein containing casein; (iii) optionally executing a homogenisation treatment stage;(iv) perform a heat treatment stage; (v) optionally perform a homogenisation treatment stage. Finally, the invention refers to the use of a protein source comprising serum milk protein protein containing whey micelles of milk protein, a source of casein and optionally other proteins.a presente invenção refere-se a uma composição enteral líquida esterilizada por calor que compreende: uma fonte de proteína em uma quantidade de 12 a 20% em peso da composição, sendo que a fonte de proteína compreende proteína do soro do leite que contém, de preferência, micelas de proteína do soro do leite e uma fonte de caseína e, opcionalmente, outras proteínas. a composição enteral esterilizada por calor da invenção tem, de preferência, um teor de cisteína de pelo menos 1,2% em peso da fonte de proteína. a presente invenção refere-se, ainda, a um processo para preparar tal composição enteral esterilizada por calor que com
