If the amount of heat in the high-calorie nutrition composition is less than 2.5 kcal / mL, a small amount of high-heat can not be consumed. When the amount of heat in the high calorie nutritional composition exceeds 4.5 kcal / mL, it is difficult for the nutrients to dissolve. Thereby, energy can be sufficiently replenished even by the intake of a small amount (specifically, 100 mL) of the high-calorie nutrition composition. That is, a high-calorie nutritional composition (for which elderly people with poor appetite or with dysphagia can obtain one meal under supervision of a third party such as a nurse or carer at a hospital or nursing facility etc.) The total amount of liquid food is generally said to be about 100 mL. Therefore, set the heat quantity of the high-calorie nutrition composition filled in 100 mL in the container 10 within the above range, and further obtain the high-calorie nutrition composition from the package 1 at breakfast, lunch and dinner three meals. Energy of 750 kcal or more and 1350 kcal or less, preferably 900 kcal or more and 1290 kcal or less, more preferably 1050 kcal or more and 1230 kcal or less can be obtained. Therefore, the intake of three meals of the high-calorie nutrition composition can satisfy the amount of energy which the elderly person wants to obtain in one day.

In the present invention, the high-calorie nutrition composition may have a viscosity of 3,500 mPa · s or more and 17,500 mPa · s or less at 25 ° C., but 5,000 mPa · s or more and 15,000 mPa · s or less Is preferred. If the viscosity in the high calorie nutritional composition is less than the lower limit, reflux pneumonia or diarrhea may be induced. If the viscosity in the high calorie nutritional composition exceeds the above upper limit, it may become sticky at the time of intake. By setting the viscosity within the above range, the viscosity of the high calorie nutrient composition can be set within the range suitable for liquid food.

Can.

Moreover, it is preferable that a high calorie nutrient composition contains an emulsifier in addition to the nutrient containing the three major nutrients mentioned above.

This results in higher compatibility of proteins, lipids and carbohydrates in high calorie nutritional compositions. Therefore, even if the content of protein, lipid and carbohydrate in the high-calorie nutritional composition is increased as in the above range, respectively, the protein, lipid and carbohydrate are dissolved and combined in the high-calorie nutritional composition. Can. Therefore, the high-calorie nutrition composition can be one in which proteins, lipids and carbohydrates are uniformly dispersed and emulsified.

The emulsifier is not particularly limited. For example, organic acid monoglyceride, polyglycerin ester, sucrose fatty acid ester, sorbitan fatty acid ester, fatty acid ester such as propylene glycol fatty acid ester, polysorbate, polyglycerin condensed ricinolate, diacylglycerol, wax And sterol esters, phospholipids and the like, and one or more of these may be used in combination. Among them, it is preferable to include one of the organic acid monoglyceride and the polyglycerin ester, and it is more preferable to include both of them. In addition, when both organic acid monoglyceride and polyglycerin ester are contained as an emulsifying agent, the content thereof is preferably 0.5 g / 100 mL or more and 1.5 g / l or more of the organic acid monoglyceride in the high calorie nutritional composition. It is set to 100 mL or less, more preferably about 1.3 g / 100 mL, and the polyglycerin ester is preferably set to 0.3 g / 100 mL or more and 0.8 g / 100 mL or less, more preferably about 0.7 g / 100 mL. By selecting the above-described one as the emulsifying agent and setting the content as described above, the above-mentioned effect can be more remarkably exhibited. In addition, when the organic acid monoglyceride in the high calorie nutritional composition is less than 0.5 g / 100 mL, depending on the type of nutrient contained in the high calorie nutritional composition, the emulsifying system is not stable and the water layer and the oil layer are separated. There is a risk of When the amount of organic acid monoglyceride in the high calorie nutritional composition exceeds 1.5 g / 100 mL, the emulsion system may be broken by excess organic acid monoglyceride depending on the type of nutrient contained in the high calorie nutritional composition. When the amount of polyglycerin ester in the high calorie nutritional composition is less than 0.3 g / 100 mL, depending on the types of nutrients contained in the high calorie nutritional composition, the emulsion system may not be stabilized and the water layer and the oil layer may separate. There is. When the amount of organic acid monoglyceride in the high calorie nutritional composition exceeds 0.8 g / 100 mL, the emulsion system may be broken by excess organic acid monoglyceride depending on the types of nutrients contained in the high calorie nutritional composition.

The organic acid monoglyceride is not particularly limited. For example, a commercially available product can be used. Specifically, Poem W-60 (manufactured by Riken Vitamin Co., Ltd.), Poem G-002 (Riken Vitamin Co., Ltd.) And Poem B-10 (manufactured by Riken Vitamin Co., Ltd.).
