Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention relates to a composition in powder form comprising probiotic bacteria and at least one iron-milk protein complex. Such iron-milk protein complex advantageously does not cause significant reduction in the viability of the bacteria and thus such iron source is advantageously used to fortify a composition in powder form comprising probiotic bacteria.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A composition in powder form, the composition comprising at least one probiotic bacteria and further comprising an iron-milk protein complex in which the milk protein is selected from the group consisting of casein, a casein derivative, a fraction of casein, and a mixture thereof. 2. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the iron-milk protein complex comprises exogenous iron. 3. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the iron-milk protein complex comprises exogenous phosphorus. 4. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the iron in the iron-milk protein complex is Fe 3+. 5. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition in powder form is a nutritional composition. 6. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the iron-milk protein complex is present in an amount comprising 1 to 300 mg of the iron per 100 g of the composition. 7. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the milk protein in the iron-milk protein complex consists of casein. 8. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the milk protein in the iron-milk protein complex is casein, and the iron-milk protein complex consists of the casein and the iron. 9. The composition according to claim 2 , wherein a weight ratio of the milk protein to the exogenous iron is between 50:1 and 19.5:1. 10. The composition according to claim 3 , wherein the exogenous phosphorus comprises orthophosphorus, and a weight ratio of the milk protein to the orthophosphorus is 20:1 to 8:1. 11. The composition according to claim 3 , wherein the iron-milk protein complex consists of the iron, the milk protein and the exogenous phosphorus. 12. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the iron-milk protein complex comprises the only iron in the composition. 13. The composition according to claim 1 , further comprising polyphenols.
