Abstract:
Bacteria thyA(−) mutants with increased vitamin K and use of these thyA(−) mutants for making a composition/product for treatment and/or prevention of vitamin K deficiency in a mammal (e.g. a human).
Abstract:
A bacillus composition characterized by fast germination and outgrowth in bile salts (simulated gut environment) and by producing a compound of interest. The bacillus composition may be used as supplement in animal feed where it has a probiotic (health promoting) effect and increases the digestion and availability of nutrients from animal feeds.
Abstract:
A white coloring composition comprising calcium carbonate as a white pigment. It may be used in the manufacture of food and pharmaceutical products.
Abstract:
The present invention is related to the field of bioprotection, in particular to an antimicrobial composition comprising a Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain and/or a Lactobacillus paracasei strain. Furthermore, the present invention concerns uses for such an antimicrobial composition, food, feed and pharmaceutical products comprising such an antimicrobial composition, a method of manufacturing such food, feed and pharmaceutical products and a method for reducing the content of unwanted microorganisms of such food, feed and pharmaceutical products.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel wild-type Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris bacteria strain with increased vitamin K2 production and mutants and variants thereof and methods for preparation of a fermented food or feed product enriched in vitamin K2 and a vitamin K enriched edible product for amelioration and/or prevention of vitamin K deficiency. The present invention also relates to the fermented food or feed product and the edible product obtainable by the methods herein and to the wild-type Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris bacteria strain for use in treatment and/or prevention of vitamin K deficiency in a mammal, such as a human.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a carmine food coloring composition with high stability towards acidity and heat and its uses for coloring foodstuffs, such as fruit preparations and dairy products. The carmine food coloring composition comprises a dispersion of carmine lake blended with a solution of dissolved carmine lake.The present invention further relates to a method for preparing the carmine food coloring composition and uses of such carmine food coloring composition.
Abstract:
A stable, pellet-frozen lactic acid bacteria (LAB) culture comprises at least one additive compound in a commercial relevant package. The pellet-frozen culture has at least 50 g frozen material and a content of viable bacteria of at least 109 colony forming units per gram of frozen material. The individual pellets of the frozen culture do not stick together and remain as individual pellets, when stored at about −46° C., for at least 7 to 14 days.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel wild-type Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris bacteria strain with increased vitamin K2 production and mutants and variants thereof and methods for preparation of a fermented food or feed product enriched in vitamin K2 and a vitamin K enriched edible product for amelioration and/or prevention of vitamin K deficiency. The present invention also relates to the fermented food or feed product and the edible product obtainable by the methods herein and to the wild-type Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris bacteria strain for use in treatment and/or prevention of vitamin K deficiency in a mammal, such as a human.
Abstract:
Many probiotic Bifidobacteriaceacontains an active tetW that renders the cells resistant to tetracycline. This may present a risk of a horizontal transfer of functional antibiotic genes. The present invention relates to a method of obtaining novel tetracycline-sensitive strains of the genus of Bifidobacteriacea (Bifidobacterium sp.). In particular, the present invention relates to novel antibiotic-sensitive strains obtained from antibiotic-resistant probiotic strains and the use of such novel strains for the preparation of a food or feed product or a dosage form comprising viable organisms.
