NUCLEOTIDES AND OLIGOSACCHARIDES FOR USE AS FOOD COMPOSITION
The present invention relates to a food composition comprising, in % by weight of the food composition on dry matter basis, i) nucleotides in an amount of at least about 0.05% and ii) oligosaccharides in an amount of at least about 0.1%, wherein said oligosaccharides are selected from xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS), fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), and combinations thereof.
