LIQUID NUTRITIONAL COMPOSITION CONTAINING SODIUM AT HIGH CONCENTRATION AND METHOD OF PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

A liquid nutritional composition which contains a protein, a lipid and a saccharide and has a caloric value as the composition of 1 kcal/ml or more, characterized in that the protein concentration of the composition is form 30 to 100 mg/ml and the sodium concentration of the composition is higher than 2 mg/ml. This liquid nutritional composition never undergoes gelling or coagulation and can sustain a high heat stability and favorable physical properties even in the state where the protein and sodium coexist at high concentrations. Thus, it is possible to provide a protein-rich liquid nutritional food which has a high heat stability and favorable physical properties and contains sodium at a high concentration.
