Nutritional compositions with MFGM and certain human milk oligosaccharides and uses thereof
A nutritional composition, typically an infant enterically administered nutritional composition, that comprises a milk fat globule membrane component, at least one human milk oligosaccharide and one additional component or a plurality of additional components where the additional component or components include DHA, ARA, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and sphingomyelin.
1. An infant formula for term infants comprising:
one or a plurality of protein components such that the total amount of protein is from about 12 g to about 19 g per reconstituted liter (RL);
one or more carbohydrate components such that the total amount of carbohydrates is from about 60 g to about 85 g per RL;
one or more human milk oligosaccharides present in the infant formula in an amount of from about 0.2 g to about 5.0 g per RL, wherein the one or more human milk oligosaccharides are selected from fucosyllactose, 2′FL, 3FL, Lacto-N-fucopentaose I (LNFP I), LNFP II, LNFP III, LNFP V, and mixtures thereof;
phospholipids in an amount of from about 300 mg to about 800 mg per RL;
phosphatidylcholine in an amount of from about 10 mg to about 300 mg per RL;
sphingomyelin in an amount of from about 20 mg to about 400 mg per RL;
one or a plurality of fat components such that the total amount of fat in the infant formula is from about 25 g to about 45 g per RL;
arachidonic acid in an amount of from about 75 mg to about 275 mg per RL;
docosahexaenoic acid in an amount of from about 37 mg to about 180 mg per RL; and
linoleic acid in and amount of from about 4500 mg to about 9500 mg per RL,
wherein the infant formula comprises a milk fat globule membrane component.
2. The infant formula of claim 1 , wherein the milk fat globule membrane component is derived from a whey protein concentrate.
3. The infant formula of claim 2 , wherein the milk fat globule component has a protein content of at least about 60% by weight of the milk fat globule component.
4. The infant formula of claim 3 , wherein the milk fat globule component has a lactose content of not more than about 10% by weight of the milk fat globule component.
5. The infant formula of claim 1 , wherein the one or more human milk oligosaccharides consists of 2′FL.
