The present invention provides a protein-containing composition that can be ingested without reducing the intake, and without placing a burden on the kidney and the liver. Provided is a protein-containing composition for enteral intake, the composition including at least 81% by mass micellar casein with respect to the total protein, which composition is for ingestion by a subject requiring suppression or prevention of a decline(s) in renal function and/or liver function.

A method of making a pet food product includes: mixing (a) a powder containing one or more probiotics and (b) a first portion of liquid fat using a high shear mixer, to form a liquid mixture containing the one or more probiotics dispersed in the first portion of liquid fat and mixing a second portion of liquid fat with the liquid mixture, to form a coating composition containing the one or more probiotics and the first and second portions of liquid fat; and coating a food kibble with the coating composition using a batch or continuous coating device, to form the pet food product.

The present invention relates to a method for converting insects into nutrient streams, such as a puree, an enzymatically hydrolysed puree, a fat fraction and a protein fraction. The invention further relates to the (hydrolysed) puree and to the fractions obtainable by said methods and to their use as a food or feed product or as an ingredient therefore. The invention also relates to a method for converting insect larvae into a composition with anti-oxidant properties. Thus, the invention also relates to a method for converting insect larvae into an antioxidant composition. In addition, the invention relates to a composition with anti-oxidant properties obtainable by said method and to the use of the composition as a health promoting food ingredient or as a feed ingredient.
