Abstract:
A method of preparation of a more palatable therapeutic formula for phenylketonuria (PKU), consisting of low-phenylalanine peptide (LPP), was reported. There were no adverse effects and, in fact, there was a reduced frequency of diarrhea in patients who received LPP formula for more than 6 months. The LPP formula can be used not only as a more palatable therapeutic milk for PKU, but also as an ingredient to make more palatable foods of low-phenylalanine content.
