Novel methods for isolating fish roe/egg extracts, notably a coagulum and a sediment extract, enriched in phospholipids and omega-3 fatty acids are described. Novel compositions comprising omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and micronutrients, which may be used for the management of neurological conditions such as ADD-ADHD, autism, cognitive impairment, and mood disorders are also described. These compositions are homogenous compositions comprising effective amounts of omega-3 fatty acids in microencapsulated or emulsified form, and/or from the sediment extract from fish roe/egg, vitamin B6, magnesium, zinc and copper, and may further comprise additional ingredients such as folic acid (e.g., L-methyl folate) and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA).

PROBLEM: To provide a food, a drink, or the like for infant that allows improving an intestinal environment and enhancing an immune strength of an infant.

SOLUTION: A food or drink for infant containing an effective dose of nicotinamide mononucleotide.

The present disclosure relates generally to methods and nutritional compositions for promoting or maintaining postpartum maternal health.

A fortified dairy-based ready-to-drink beverage includes a dairy component containing aggregates of kappa-casein covalently bonded to beta-lactoglobulin and having a particle size of 5 to 10 m; and an amount of vitamins and minerals sufficient to provide fortification of the ready-to-drink beverage. The ready-to-drink beverage does not contain gum arabic; guar gum; xanthan gum; carrageenan; cellulose gum; an emulsifier; or a buffer. A method of making a fortified dairy-based ready-to-drink beverage includes forming a mixture by mixing a dairy component with an amount of vitamins and minerals sufficient to provide fortification of the ready-to-drink beverage; adjusting the pH of the mixture; homogenizing the pH-adjusted mixture; and subjecting the homogenized mixture to a heat treatment at 80-150 C. for 3 to 300 seconds. Neither the mixture nor the fortified dairy-based ready-to-drink beverage contains gum arabic; guar gum; xanthan gum; carrageenan; cellulose gum; an emulsifier; or a buffer.
