摘要:
Disclosed are fiber-containing nutritional powders comprising nutrients and atotal dietary fiber component, wherein the total dietary fiber contains added,spray dried, fiber, and wherein at least about 50% by weight of the spraydried fiber is water insoluble. Also disclosed are improved methods of makingnutritional powders by (A) preparing an aqueous liquid containing nutrientsand added fiber, wherein at least about 50% by weight of the added fiber iswater insoluble; (B) homogenizing the prepared aqueous liquid at a selectedhomogenization pressure; and (C) spray drying the homogenized liquid to form anutritional powder, which can be formulated or reconstituted into anutritional liquid. The nutritional formula is more effective thanconventional fiber-containing, ready-to-feed, nutritional liquids in treatinginfants affected by colic, diarrhea, or excessive spit-up.
