Abstract

A protein composition and a baby food (infant formula) containing this are provided. The protein composition is characterised in that it contains at least 15 wt % (based on the total amount of the proteins) modified proteins, the course of whose digestion is slowed compared to the unmodified, normal proteins serving as starting materials. Such a protein composition and a baby food containing this create just as good metabolic conditions for the normal development of a child as feeding with human milk proteins.
