INFANT FOOD FOR IMPROVEMENT OF FATTY ACIDS COMPOSITION IN BRAIN CELL MEMBRANES Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A23D7/01 A23D9/05 A23J7/00 A23L1/29 A23L1/30 A61K31/201 A61K31/683 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to alimentation, in particular - to baby alimentation. Proposed is a method for altering the composition of fatty acids in brain cell membranes selected from the group including i) increase of fluidity of bran cell membranes, ii) increase of PUFA content in brain cell membranes, iii) increase of LC-PUFA content in brain cell membranes, iv) reduction of the n6/n3 LC-PUFA ratio in brain cell membranes, v) reduction of the n6/n3 PUFA ratio in brain cell membranes, vi) increase of n3 PUFA content in brain cell membranes, vii) increase of n3 LC-PUFA content in brain cell membranes and viii) increase of DHA content in brain cell membranes with the subject human by way of administration of a nutritional composition containing a) vegetal lipids in an amount of 10-50% of the dry composition weight and b1) phospholipids in an amount of 0.5-20% of the total lipids weight or b2) polar lipids in an amount of 0.6-25% of the total lipids weight where the polar lipids represent the sum total of phospholipids, glycosphingolipids and cholesterol The said composition contains lipid globules with a nucleus containing the said vegetal lipids and a core containing the said phospholipids or polar lipids. Additionally proposed is a method to improve the subject human's cognitive functions when the said subject human has reached an age of over 36 months by way of administration of the above nutritional composition to the subject human at an age of 0-36 months.

EFFECT: invention allows to improve the composition of fatty acids in brain cell membranes and ensure long-term effect of brain fatty acids composition improvement.
