Abstract
A synthetic nutritional composition system for infants from 0-6 months of age comprises 2'-fucosyllactose (2FL), 3'-fucosyllactose, (3FL), lacto-N-tetraose (LNT), 6'-sialyllactose (6SL) and 3'-sialyllactose (3SL) in the amounts (g/L): 2FL: 1.5-4 3FL: 0.1-2 LNT: 1-4.2 3SL: 0.01-0.2 6SL: 0.01-0.45 The composition preferably includes long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), a probiotic, a prebiotic, and/or lactoferrin. Use of the composition for providing infant nutrition is also claimed.
Description
Staged Nutritional Compositions Containing Human Milk Oligosaccharides and Uses Thereof
Field of the Invention
[0001] The present disclosure relates to nutritional compositions comprising human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) , for use in providing nutrition to infants at different age stages. In this way, HMO composition and concentration can be tailored to more closely meet the nutritional needs of infants, in a practical and effective manner. The disclosed nutritional compositions may provide additive and/or synergistic beneficial health effects.
Background
[0002] Human infant gut microbiota is rapidly established in the first few weeks following birth.
Gut microbiota development in infants is understood to be initiated by exposure to maternal and environmental bacteria during birth. Further development of gut microbiota is affected by a newborn infant's diet. Whether the infant is breastfed or formula-fed has a strong influence on the intestinal bacterial population and composition. Human milk contains numerous macro-and micronutrient components, the identity and function of which are still being discovered and studied. Among these components, HMOs are believed to play an important role in the growth of beneficial bacteria in infants. In breastfed infants, for example, Bifidobacterium species dominate among intestinal bacteria, while Streptococcus species and Lactobacillus species are less common. In contrast, the microflora of formula-fed infants is more diverse, containing Bifidobacterium species and Bacteroides species as well as more pathogenic organisms such as Staphylococcus, Escherichia coli, and Clostridium species. The species of Bifidobacterium in the stools of breastfed and formula-fed infants vary as well. Bifidobacterium species are generally considered beneficial bacteria and are known to protect against colonisation by pathogenic bacteria.
[0003] Gut microbiota is also important for healthy brain function, as it is believed that gut microbiota communicate with the brain via the gut-brain axis, and thus have an impact on brain development and function. More specifically, gut microbiota interact with enteric and central nervous systems via neural, neuroendocrine, neuroimmune, and hormonal links. Brain -2 -development and growth exceeds that of any other organ or body tissue, reaching its peak at 26 weeks of gestation and continuing at a rapid rate throughout the first three years of life. Sub-optimal nutrition during this phase may have irreversible consequences for cognitive function.
[0004] Human milk is not static in its composition; rather, it varies with lactation stage. There are significant changes in the composition of breast milk which reflect changes in the requirements of the infant based on physiological functions and development. Human milk contains a large diversity of oligosaccharide structures known as HMOs, which function as a prebiotic in the establishment of beneficial microbiota and are protective to infants. HMOs constitute the third largest fraction of human milk, accounting for 1 to 2% of human milk content. Infant-specific Bifidobacteria (e.g. B. longum, B. infantis, B. breve, B. bifidum) have been characterised by their capabilities for consuming HMOs. In addition, HMOs function as decoy receptors for various pathogens. HMOs are able to shape the composition of neonatal gastrointestinal (GI) microbial communities. Different HMOs are differently fermented by gut microbiota, as was shown for breastfed and formula-fed infants.
[0005] Accordingly, there exists a need for nutritional compositions that have an HMO composition that changes as the infant ages, instead of simply providing a constant level of HMOs throughout an infant's development, so as to more closely mimic human breast milk at different stages of lactation.

A composition, nutritional composition, or mixture is said to be "synthetic" if at least one of its components is obtained by biological (e.g. enzymatic) and/or chemical means.
[0035] "Paediatric subject" means a human under 18 years of age. The term "adult", in terms of the present disclosure, refers to a human that is 18 years of age or greater. The term "paediatric subject" may refer to preterm infants, full-term infants, and/or children, as described below. A paediatric subject may be a human subject that is between birth and 8 years old. In another aspect, "paediatric subject" refers to a human subject between 1 and 6 years of age. Alternatively, "paediatric subject' refers to a human subject between 6 and 12 years of age.
[0036] "Infant" means a human subject ranging in age from birth to not more than one year and includes infants from 0 to 12 months corrected age. The phrase "corrected age" means an infant's chronological age minus the amount of time that the infant was born premature. -9 -
Therefore, the corrected age is the age of the infant if it had been carried to full term. The term infant includes full-term infants, preterm infants, low birth weight infants, very low birth weight infants, and extremely low birth weight infants. "Preterm" means an infant born before the end of the 37th week of gestation. "Full-term" means an infant born after the end of the 37th week of gestation.

[0043] The terms "secretor" and "secretor mother" refer to a mother with a functional FUT2 allele, and therefore produce breast milk containing a large amount of a-1,2 fucosylated HMOs, such as 2'-fucosyllactose (2FL), lactodifucotetraose (LDFT), lacto-N-difucohexaose I (LNDFH 0, and lacto-N-fucopentaose I (LNFP I). The terms "non-secretor and "non-secretor mother" refer to a mother with a non-functional FUT2 allele, and therefore produce breast milk containing no, or a minimum level of, a-1,2 fucosylated HMOs, such as 2FL, LDFT, LNDFH I, and LNFP I. The level of 2FL in breast milk has been shown to be a particularly reliable indicator of the secretor status of a mother, so by determining the level of 2FL in breast milk, the secretor status of a mother may be determined. Another method of determining the secretor status of a mother is via a simple blood or saliva test. The determination of the secretor status of a mother by either of these methods would be readily apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art. For example, to perform a saliva test, a saliva sample is collected using saliva collection kit and the DNA stabilised using a DNA stabilisation kit. The DNA from the saliva is then genotyped using a reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR; FUT2 428 position) and analysed using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) target of rs516246. The results are then visualised using gel electrophoresis.
[0002] The term "enteral" means deliverable through or within the gastrointestinal, or digestive, tract. "Enteral administration" includes oral feeding, intragastric feeding, transpyloric administration, or any other administration into the digestive tract. "Administration" is broader than "enteral administration" and includes parenteral administration or any other route of administration by which a substance is taken into a subject's body.
[0044] The term "degree of hydrolysis" refers to the extent to which peptide bonds are broken by a hydrolysis method. The degree of protein hydrolysis for the purposes of characterising the hydrolysed protein component of the nutritional compositions is easily determined by one of ordinary skill in the formulation arts, by quantifying the amino nitrogen to total nitrogen ratio (AN/TN) of the protein component of the selected composition. The amino nitrogen component is quantified by USP titration methods for determining amino nitrogen content, with the total nitrogen component being determined by the Tecator Kjeldahl method. These methods are well-known to one of ordinary skill in the analytical chemistry art.
[0045] The term "partially hydrolysed" means having a degree of hydrolysis which is greater than 0% but less than about 50%.
[0046] The term "extensively hydrolysed' means having a degree of hydrolysis which is greater than or equal to about 50%.
[0047] The term "peptide" describes linear molecular chains of amino acids, including single chain molecules or their fragments. The term "small amino acid peptide", in terms of this disclosure, means a peptide comprising no more than 50 total amino acids. The small amino acid peptides of the present disclosure may be naturally occurring or they may be synthesised.
[0048] The term "substantially free" means containing less than a functional amount of the specified component, typically less than 0.1% by weight, and includes 0% by weight of the specified ingredient.
[0049] As applied to nutrients, the term "essential" refers to any nutrient that cannot be synthesised by the body in amounts sufficient for normal growth, so it must be supplied by the diet. The term "conditionally essential' as applied to nutrients means that the nutrient must be supplied by the diet when adequate amounts of the precursor compound is unavailable to the body for endogenous synthesis to occur.
[0050] The term "probiotic" refers to microorganisms, such as bacteria or yeast, which have been shown to exert a beneficial effect on the health of a host subject. Probiotics can usually be classified as 'viable' or 'non-viable'. The term 'viable probiotics' refers to living microorganisms, with the amount of a viable probiotic being detailed in colony-forming units (CFU). Probiotics that have been heat-killed, or otherwise inactivated, are termed 'non-viable probiotics' i.e. non-living microorganisms. Non-viable probiotics may still retain the ability to favourably influence the health of the host even though they may have been heat-killed or otherwise inactivated.
[0051] The term "prebiotic" refers to a non-digestible food ingredient that beneficially affects the host by selectively stimulating the growth and/or activity of one or a limited number of -12 -bacteria in the digestive tract, which can improve the health of the host. Prebiotics exert health benefits, which may include, but are not limited to: selective stimulation of the growth and/or activity of one or a limited number of beneficial gut bacteria; stimulation of the growth and/or activity of ingested probiotic microorganisms; selective reduction in gut pathogens; and, favourable influence on gut short chain fatty acid profile. The prebiofic of the nutritional compositions may be naturally-occurring, synthetic, or developed through the genetic manipulation of organisms and/or plants, whether such new source is now known or developed later.
[0052] The term "organism" refers to any contiguous living system, such as an animal, plant, fungus, or micro-organism.
[0053] "Non-human lactoferrin" refers to lactoferrin that is produced by or obtained from a source other than human breast milk.
[0054] The term "static acid" refers to a family of derivatives of neuraminic acid. Nacetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) are among the most abundant, naturally-found forms of sialic acid, especially Neu5Ac in human and cow's milk.
[0055] All percentages, parts, and ratios as used herein are detailed by weight of the total composition, unless otherwise specified.

HMOs is the collective term for the group of around 200 complex carbohydrates that are found in human breast milk, with HMOs being the third most abundant solid component of human breast milk.
[0061] The present inventors have quantified the levels of seven of the most prominent HMOs in human breast milk, at various different stages of lactation. The present invention therefore provides nutritional compositions comprising HMOs, wherein the HMO composition changes as the infant ages, instead of simply providing a constant level of HMOs throughout an infant's development. The nutritional compositions of the present disclosure can therefore more closely mimic human breast milk at different stages of lactation.
[0062] The provision of nutritional compositions wherein the HMO composition changes as the infant ages may: improve gut microbiota composition/activity to resemble breast-fed infant microbiota; beneficially impact development and maturation of the immune system (lower incidence of infections); lead to reduced gut permeability (e.g. improved absorption via action of microbiome); lead to reduced inflammatory factors (modified expression of select -14 -immunomodulators and inflammatory cytokines/chemokines); stimulate neurodevelopment (improved learning and memory); and, lead to increased sialic acid in certain brain regions possibly associated with increased free sialic acid in saliva and plasma.

[0153] The composition may comprise a source of p-glucan. The source of p-glucan may comprise p-1,3-glucan. Preferably, the 13-1,3-glucan may be 13-1,3;1,6-glucan. The amount of p-glucan present in the composition may be at between about 0.010 and about 0.080 g per 100g of composition. The amount of p-glucan in the composition may be between about 3 mg and about 17 mg per 100 kcal. Preferably, the amount of p-glucan may be between about 6 mg and about 17 mg per 100 kcal.
[0154] The nutritional compositions may comprise sialic acid. Mammalian brain tissue contains the highest levels of sialic acid as sialic acid is incorporated into brain-specific proteins, such as the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) and lipids (e.g. gangliosides).
Sialic acid is therefore believed to play an important role in neural development and function, learning, cognition, and memory.
[0155] The nutritional compositions may comprise sialic acid provided by an inherent source (such as eVVPC), exogenous sialic acid, sialic acid from sources (such as cGMP), or any combination thereof. The nutritional compositions may comprise sialic acid at a level of about mg/L to about 800 mg/L. Preferably, sialic acid is present at a level of about 120 mg/L to about 600 mg/L. More preferably, sialic acid is present at a level of about 140 mg/L to about 500 mg/L. Alternatively, sialic acid may be present in an amount from about 1 mg/100 kcal to about 120 mg/100 kcal. Preferably, sialic acid may be present in an amount from about 14 mg/100 kcal to about 90 mg/100 kcal. More preferably, sialic acid may be present in an amount from about 15 mg/100 kcal to about 75 mg/100 kcal.
-39 - [0156] The nutritional compositions may comprise one or more suitable nutritional composition ingredient, wherein the suitable nutritional composition ingredient comprises choline, inositol, an emulsifier, a preservative, a stabiliser, or a combination thereof. The nutritional compositions may comprise choline. Choline is a nutrient that is essential for normal function of cells. Choline is a precursor for membrane phospholipids and it accelerates the synthesis and release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in memory storage. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that dietary choline and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) act synergistically to promote the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine and thus, help promote synaptogenesis in human subjects. Additionally, choline and DHA act synergistically to promote dendritic spine formation, which is important in the maintenance of established synaptic connections. The nutritional compositions may comprise about 20 mg to about 100 mg of choline per 8 fl. oz. (236.6 mL) serving.
[0157] The nutritional compositions may comprise inositol. The inositol may be present as exogenous inositol, inherent inositol, or a combination thereof The nutritional compositions may comprise between about 10 mg/100 kcal and 40 mg/100 kcal. Preferably, the nutritional compositions comprise between about 20 mg/100 kcal and 40 mg/100 kcal. Alternatively, the composition may comprise between about 200 mg/L and about 300 mg/L.
[0158] The composition may comprise one or more emulsifier, as an emulsifier can increase the stability of the composition. The emulsifier may comprise, but is not limited to, egg lecithin, soy lecithin, alpha lactalbumin, monoglycerides, diglycerides, or any combination thereof. The composition may comprise from about 0.5 wt% to about 1 wt% of emulsifier, based on the total dry weight of the composition. Preferably, the composition may comprise from about 0.7 wt% to about 1 wt% of emulsifier based on the total dry weight of the composition.
[0159] The composition may comprise one or more preservative, as a preservative can extend the shelf-life of the composition. The preservative may comprise, but is not limited to, potassium sorbate, sodium sorbate, potassium benzoate, sodium benzoate, calcium disodium EDTA, or any combination thereof The composition may comprise from about 0.1 wt% to about 1.0 wt% of a preservative based on the total dry weight of the composition. Preferably, the composition may comprise from about 0.4 wt% to about 0.7 wt% of a preservative, based on the total dry weight of the composition. -40 -
[0160] The composition may comprise one or more stabiliser, as a stabiliser can help preserve the structure of the composition. The stabiliser may comprise, but is not limited to, gum arabic, gum ghatti, gum karaya, gum tragacanth, agar, furcellaran, guar gum, gellan gum, locust bean gum, pectin, low methoxyl pectin, gelatine, microcrystalline cellulose, CMC (sodium carboxymethylcellulose), methylcellulose hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, DATEM (diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono-and diglycerides), dextran, carrageenans, or any combination thereof.
[0161] The composition may be provided in any form known in the art. The composition may take the form of a powder, a gel, a suspension, a paste, a solid, a liquid, a liquid concentrate, a reconstitutable powdered milk substitute, or a ready-to-use product. Preferably, the composition may take the form of a powder, a liquid concentrate, or a ready-to-use product. More preferably, the composition may be provided in a powder form. Most preferably, the composition is provided in a reconstitutable powder form. When the composition is provided in a powder form, the powder may have a particle size in the range of 5 pm to 1500 pm. When the composition is provided in a powder form, the particle size is preferably in the range of 10 pm to 300 pm.
[0162] The composition may be intended for a paediatric subject or an adult. The paediatric subject may be an infant or a child. The infant may be a vaginally-delivered infant. Alternatively, the infant may be an infant delivered by C-section. The gut microbiota play a significant role in the development and maturation of the immune system. It is known that the gut microbiota of C-section infants is different to infants that were vaginally delivered, with a study showing that C-section birth is associated with an increased likelihood of immune and metabolic disorders such as allergies, asthma, hypertension, and obesity (Hansen et aL, J Immunol August 1, 2014, 193 (3) 1213-1222). One possible way of reducing the likelihood of immune and metabolic disorders in C-section infants may be the provision of a composition comprising beneficial probiotics such as LGG and B. infantis, in an attempt to bring the gut microbiota of the C-section infants into closer alignment with the gut microbiota of vaginally-delivered infants. The composition of the present application, where the viability of beneficial probiotics such as LGG and B. infantis is increased due to the presence of MFGM, may therefore be particularly advantageous for C-section infants. -41 -
[0163] The composition may comprise a nutritional supplement, an adult's nutritional product, a children's nutritional product, an infant formula, a human milk fortifier, a young child milk, or any other composition designed for an infant or a paediatric subject. The composition may be provided in an orally-ingestible form, wherein the orally-ingestible comprises a food, a beverage, a tablet, a capsule, or a powder.
[0164] The composition may be expelled directly into a subject's intestinal tract. The composition may be expelled directly into the gut. The composition may be formulated to be consumed or administered enterally under the supervision of a physician.
[0165] The composition may be delivered to an infant from birth until a time that matches full-term gestation. Alternatively, the composition may be delivered to an infant from birth until at least about three months corrected age, until at least about six months corrected age, or until at least about one-year corrected age. In another aspect, the composition may be delivered to a subject as long as is necessary to correct nutritional deficiencies.
[0166] The composition may be suitable for a number of dietary requirements. The composition may be kosher. The composition may be a non-genetically modified product. The composition may be sucrose-free. The composition may also be lactose-free. The composition may not contain any medium-chain triglyceride oil. No carrageenan may be present in the composition. The composition may be free of all gums.
[0167] The scope of the present invention is defined in the appended claims. It is to be understood that the skilled person may make amendments to the scope of the claims without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.

Experimental Procedure ample Collection/Study DetaH [0170] 94 mother-infant pairs were recruited from a single maternity hospital as part of the Cambridge Baby Growth Study (CBGS). All infants were vaginally born and exclusively breastfed until at least 6 weeks of age. Other inclusion criteria were. singleton; term gestation; no antibiotic and steroid history at least in the 30 days before delivery, no significant maternal illness, no regular use of probiofics during pregnancy; and, normal maternal pre-pregnancy BMI. 91.5% of study participants were Caucasian. The study was approved by the Cambridge Local Research Ethics Committee, and all mothers gave written consent. Breastfed mothers were asked to hand express hind milk samples after feeding their infants at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months postnatally. Expression was done from the same breast last used to feed their infants. Samples were kept frozen until processed at a single time point.
HMO Level Quantification [0171] Five neutral HMOs (3-fucosyllactose, 2-fucosyllactose, lacto-N-fucopentaose I, lactoN-tetraose, and lacto-N-neotetraose) and two acidic HMOs (6-sialyllactose and 3-sialyllactose) were quantified in 164 human hind milk samples, originating from 71 healthy lactating mothers. Quantification was conducted by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection, using an expedited 'dilute-and-shoot' on-line sample clean-up method.
