Nutrition and ageing
Nutrition and ageing demineralization as the BMD (Bone mineralization density) lies 2.5 points lower to standard values for young women. 11 Sarcopenia and osteopenia can both lead to mobility problems. + Proteins are needed for muscle synthesis Micellar Calcium highly bioavailable Prodiet ® Micellar caseins contain 2.6 % of highly bioavailable micellar calcium thanks to its dairy origin. “Slow” and “fast” proteins have a specific metabolism in postprandial conditions: 13,14 Bone mass loss Bones become weaker (risk of fractures) Osteopenia Sarcopenia Muscle mass loss + Bones contain proteins Preventing sarcopenia and osteopenia among the elderly Other complications Indulgent and convenient nutritional products are important as loss of senses gradually increases like dysphagia and dysgeusia. Weakening of organ functions also lead to immune deficiencies and age is also one of the risk factors to develop type II diabetes. 12 It is important to adapt seniors’ food with proper nutritional intakes, e. g. by consuming milk proteins. Besides, 56 % of seniors aged 60+ declared that they consume dairy proteins as a source of protein intake (Euromonitor, 2020). Ingredia’s proteins and bioactives as allies of seniors and the elderly For 70 years, the Group Prospérité Fermière – INGREDIA has specialized in dairy proteins and bioactives coming directly from its fresh milk collection. Micellar casein: a unique protein for senior and geriatric nutrition Micellar Caseins (92 % micellar caseins/8 % soluble proteins) are native proteins organized in micelles with a micellar calcium skeleton. The baseline depicts the continuously present amino acids in blood. Above means there is protein synthesis, below means avoiding protein breakdown is necessary. As they are slow proteins, micellar caseins can help to avoid muscle mass degradation and night fasting. Indeed, the amino acids are slowly released and can be digested up to 7 hours after ingestion. Oppositely, soluble proteins or whey proteins are fast proteins. Micellar caseins, an excellent amino acids profile Micellar caseins are particularly adapted for clinical nutrition. They have a higher chemi cal index* (146) compared to the FAO** protein reference (100). They are rich in all of the essential amino acids (EAA) (~43.5 %), in branched chain amino acids (BCAA) (~20.3 %) and in leucine (~9.2 %) for muscle synthesis. *Chemical index (CI): reveals the aptitude of the analysed protein to contain all the necessary amino acids. **FAO: Food and Agriculture Organization. Model of Caseins Micelle (Dalgleish, 2012) Prodiet ® Fluid, a micellar casein for highprotein beverages Prodiet ® Fluid is a micellar casein that contains more than 87 % of proteins on dry 14 No. 3 November/December 2020
Nutrition and ageing matter. It is the perfect solution to develop high protein beverages for seniors, as it provides a high content of leucine and an incredible fluidity up to 14 % of proteins, facilitating swallowing. The final product is stable for UHT and retort treatments, has a smooth texture and a delicious milky taste. For more information, please visit our website: https://www.prodiet-fluid.com/ Protein hydrolysates, for faster absorption Protein hydrolysates are hydrolyzed peptides and amino acids that are faster absorbed by the organism, compared to intact proteins. Their amino acids are quickly available and have a great interest for clinical nutrition: they allow a quick activation of the peak of leucine, triggering muscle synthesis. Aminight, a beverage against overnight fasting with Prodiet ® Fluid and Prodiet ® Hydrolysate: Aminight is a high protein beverage with 12 % of proteins and 3.6 g of leucine. It limits elderly people’s overnight fasting, thanks to the combination of micellar caseins that reduce fasting periods, and whey protein hydrolysates for muscle synthesis thanks to the leucine peak. Bioactives, as nutritional protein solutions Osteum TM CPP, a calcium binding bioactive, to solidify bones Osteum TM CPP is a bioactive produced from native micellar caseins. It has a high calcium level that reaches more than 2 % and provides 35 % of CPP (Casein phosphopeptides): they improve the calcium bioavailability and thus bone mineralization. Osteum TM CPP is an excellent ally to prevent osteopenia. Moreover, a study has shown that dairy CPP have a higher calcium binding capacity than the ones derived from acid precipitated caseins. 15 Move up, a high protein milk drink to prevent sarcopenia and osteopenia Products aiming to prevent sarcopenia are fewer on the senior nutrition market than bone health products. Move up is an indulgent high protein milk drink for seniors, formulated to prevent sarcopenia and osteopenia. It contains both Prodiet ® Fluid and Osteum TM CPP, a very interesting combination as they have complementary functions for senior nutrition. It is rich in micellar calcium with 566 mg*/serving. *68 % of the Daily Recommended Intake of calcium.
