Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of one or more compounds of the formulae and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof for inhibiting the oxidation of fatty acids and/or triacylglycerols; and/or the rancidification of products that includes one or more of fatty acids and/or one or a plurality of triacylglycerols; and/or chemical and/or sensory changes of products that includes one or more of fatty acids and/or one or a plurality of triacylglycerols, caused by the action of the oxygen of the air. Corresponding mixtures and orally consumable preparations and methods are also described.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a foodstuff, containing: a) juice, pith, flesh, skins; or other constituents of at least one citrus fruit, b) at least one 4-hydroxyflavanone of the formula (I), in which R1 represents hydrogen or a hydroxy group a or methoxy group and the carbon atom at the position (C2) designated by * is present in a (2S) or a (2R) configuration or in any mixture of the two configurations, and also, if applicable, c) further flavorings or flavoring preparations, with the proviso that the constituent (b) is present in a sufficient quantity to improve the acidic and/or bitter taste of the constituent (a).
Abstract:
Suggested is a medicament which is particularly useful for preventing, curing or abating of cough and inflammations of the respiratory system, comprising or consisting of active pharmaceutical ingredients and 1,3-propandiol.

Abstract:
Suggested are new compositions for oral ingestion, comprising at least one active agent from the group of alkamides. The compositions which are orally ingested reduce the uptake of free fatty acids in the adipocytes and at the same time stimulate the release of serotonin and dopamine, which leads to a reduction of appetite, a feeling of satiety and a positive mood. In doing so, the new compositions are thus perfectly suitable to counteract any undesired gain of weight.
Abstract:
Preparations for oral consumption are proposed, comprising (a) lactic acid 1-menthyl ester of the general formula (I) its stereoisomers or mixtures thereof, (b) at least one substance having a bitter, astringent and/or metallic taste impression, and optionally (c) further flavorings.
Abstract:
A method for production of a dihydrochalcone, especially of phloretin, using a transgenic microorganism, containing a nucleic acid section (a), comprising or consisting of a gene coding for a bacterial chalcone isomerase, and/or a nucleic acid section (a′), comprising or consisting of a gene coding for a plant chalcone isomerase, and a nucleic acid section (b), comprising or consisting of a gene coding for a bacterial enoate reductase, corresponding transgenic microorganisms, containing a nucleic acid section (a), comprising or consisting of a gene coding for a bacterial chalcone isomerase, and/or a nucleic acid section (a′), comprising or consisting of a gene coding for a plant chalcone isomerase, and/or a nucleic acid section (b), comprising or consisting of a gene coding for a bacterial enoate reductase, and host cells, containing one or more identical or different such vectors.
Abstract:
The invention relates to providing both fermentative and biotechnological methods for producing 3,4-methylized cinnamic acids, 3,4-methylized cinnamic acid esters, 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine, and 4-methylized cinnamic acid amides using a 4′-O-methyltransferase, optionally in combination with further enzymes, wherein the enzymes are selected by means of metabolic engineering and operation have been adapted by targeted optimization, and compositions obtained by means of the method.The invention further relates to vector systems, recombinant microorganisms or fungi, and specific nucleic acid segments and polypeptides.
