According to one embodiment, a protein product may include a mixture of water and particulate matter comprising protein. The mixture may include medium chain aldehydes and pyrazines. The ratio of a total concentration of medium chain aldehydes in the mixture to a total concentration of pyrazines in the mixture, as determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, may be greater than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 45. The mixture may also include from about 0.5 wt. % to about 8.0 wt. % total protein by weight of the mixture. In addition, the mixture may include from about 40 wt. % to about 98 wt. % water by weight of the mixture and less than or equal to about 4.0 wt. % oil and fat by weight of the mixture. The particulate matter may have an average particle size less than or equal to about 50 μm.

The present invention relates to a liquid food product comprising a liquid fraction of a brewer's spent grain and a method of preparing said liquid food product. In particular the liquid food product is prepared from brewer's spent grain where a vegetable or animal material has been added and the mixture subjected to an extraction step to provide an improved taste and mouthfeel.

The present invention provides a nutritional composition especially well suited as an infant nutritional composition especially well suited as an infant nutritional composition, but also as a nutritional support product for pregnant women and as senior nutritional supplement, where phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin, and thus choline, also are highly relevant. The present invention provides a nutritional composition which contains choline of high bio-availibility.

The invention concerns whey-based nutritional compositions fortified with calcium that are suitable for infant nutrition, including infant formula (IF) and growing up milk (GUM). The nutritional compositions are based on α-lactalbumin enriched whey protein concentrate that has been fortified with calcium.

A method of promoting increased cellular hydration in a multicellular organism that is capable of intracellular water permeation includes the step of causing the multicellular organism to ingest an aqueous solution that contains an amount of a carbohydrate clathrate component. There is also a step of enhancing the intracellular permeation. The multicellular organism contains aquaporins, and the causing step involves interaction of the composition with the aquaporins. The cellular hydration promoted and caused by the method is corroborated by a test that uses human-aquaporin-expressed frog oocytes. The test uses single cell Xenopus laevis frog oocytes having expressed human aquaporin AGP1 water channels. There is also a beverage composition that increases lifespan in the multicellular organism, and a beverage composition that promotes cellular hydration when ingested by a multicellular organism.
