Abstract:
1. An artificial food formulation, comprising: 30 to 70% by weight of carbohydrate; 10 to 30% by weight of protein; 20 to 40% by weight of lipid; a glycogen; and an additional edible component not comprising glycogen, wherein the glycogen has a molecular weight of more than 2,000,000 Daltons and up to 5,000,000 Daltons, and a percentage of α-1-6 glucoside bonds between 5% and 15%, relative to a total number of glucoside bonds, wherein the glycogen comprises less than 1 %by weight of reducing sugars and less than 3,000 ppm of nitrogen, and wherein, when consumed, the food formulation has a controlled release of glucose units from the glycogen such that (1) about 50% of the glucose units are released from the glycogen in not less than 5 hours and/or (2) about 80% of the glucose units are released from the glycogen in not less than 12 hours.
