摘要:
Disclosed is a composition comprising MZ for use as a dietary supplement or food additive for oral consumption for improving the visual performance of a human subject.
摘要:
The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising a chylomicron and a carotenoid. The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising a micelle and a carotenoid, suspended in an aqueous solution and suitable for intravenous administration. The bioavailability of the carotenoid of the pharmaceutical composition is higher relative to the bioavailability of free carotenoid.
摘要:
A composition and method for administering an active agent to a pet, such as a dog, a cat or a horse. The composition may comprise a yogurt-based chewable delivery matrix and a plurality of water-soluble film pieces dispersed throughout the chewable delivery matrix. The composition may also comprise a delivery matrix having at least 15% by weight of crude protein and a plurality of water-soluble film pieces dispersed throughout the delivery matrix. The plurality of water-soluble film pieces encompass an active agent therein, wherein the active agent is rapidly released from the composition upon contact with saliva from the pet. At least a portion of the released active agents may be oromucosally absorbed by the pet.
摘要:
Provided are treats having an outer portion and an inner portion which contains a filing. The filling may include ground or diced meat and further includes additional ingredients for health benefits or palatability. The treats are highly palatable to pets and therefore very well-suited to delivery of health ingredients.
摘要:
Deterring wild bird consumption of animal feed involves, in a location accessible to wild birds, providing non-avian animals an animal feed particle having nutrients susceptible to wild bird consumption and a color that is effective to reduce the wild bird consumption of the animal feed particle. The animal feed particle may be provided alone or in combination with other feed components and fed to a target animal. Producing the particle may involve combining a selected color with nutrients susceptible to wild bird consumption and forming the particle, such as through extruding or pelleting.
摘要:
The invention provides a pigment composition comprising anthocyanic vacuolar inclusions or “AVIs” from a plant, and an acceptable carrier. The invention also provides methods for colouring products with the pigment composition, and products comprising the pigment composition or AVIs.
摘要:
A recombinant microbial host cell is provided capable of producing astaxanthin from β-carotene without a measurable concomitant accumulation of ketolated or hydroxylated intermediates such as adonixanthin, zeaxanthin, adonirubin, echinenone, 3-hydroxyechinenone, 3′-hydroxyechinenone, canthaxanthin, and β-cryptoxanthin. Specifically, a β-carotene producing microbial host cell was engineered to express two heterologous genes, a β-carotene ketolase from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in combination with a carotenoid hydroxylase from Brevundimonas vesicularis or Arabidopsis thaliana.
摘要:
This invention is directed to the composition, method of production, aid rrse of improved edible fish, crustacean, or mollusk products enriched with one or more components that provide health benefits to humans or other animals consuming the product.
摘要:
Disclosed are methods of producing carotenoid compounds in a methylotrophic bacterial host cell. Such a host cell may be an unmodified Methylobacterium, spontaneous mutant, or transformed cell, any of which exhibit favorable properties, such as overproduction of carotenoid compounds, increased carbon flux, improved growth, or the production of additional nutrients, such as protein, vitamins, antioxidants, or fatty acids. Also disclosed are feed compositions for use in aquaculture, or as animal feed, or as human nutritional supplements containing processed or unprocessed biomass from such cells, as are methods of preparation of the feed compositions.
摘要:
The present invention relates to process for the maintaining of a ratio stereoisomers of carotenoid compounds, to specific formulations and to the use of such specific formulations.
