摘要:
A method for microbiologically producing zeaxanthin at high concentration and low cost while suppressing production of gluconic acid is presented. Specifically, a method for producing carotenoids containing zeaxanthin by culturing a bacterium producing carotenoids containing zeaxanthin in a medium containing biotin is provided.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of an emulsion or dispersion containing one or more carotenoids, in a preferred embodiment it relates to the manufacture of a powder containing one or more carotenoids, furthermore to the powder obtainable by said process and a food composition, especially a beverage, containing said powder.
摘要:
A food-grade blue encapsulate is disclosed, which comprises gelled proteins associated with metal ions and a colorant component. The colorant component comprises anthocyanins, anthocyanidins, or mixtures thereof. A process for producing the encapsulate is also disclosed.
摘要:
Micro-micelle forms of carotenoids and/or xanthophylls, which show improved absorption and biovailability by living organisms, provide higher levels of carotenoids in the blood stream, and consequently are deposited at the target tissues at a faster rate and more efficiently than crystalline carotenoids are provided. The micro-micelle forms do not contain any crystal forms of carotenoids, and are obtained as micro-micelles after melting Lutein diacetate or Lutein dipropionate in their natural original lipid vegetable matrix, in the presence of lipids, phospholipids, fatty acids, emulsifiers and moisture. The micro-micelle forms can be ingested at a dosage between 2 mg to 50 mg to provide an absorption of the carotenoid solubilizate that is at least 20% above that of crystalline carotenoids, and provides a macular pigment deposit that exceeds at least 10% of Macular Pigment Optical Density, than the deposition obtained by ingesting crystalline Lutein.
摘要:
(Modified) rice endosperm protein is used as novel protective hydrocolloid for active ingredients, especially fat-soluble active ingredients and/or colorants. Included are compositions comprising (modified) rice endosperm protein and at least one active ingredient and to their manufacture, as well as to the (modified) rice endosperm protein itself and its manufacture. These compositions are used for the enrichment, fortification and/or coloration of food, beverages, animal feed, personal care or pharmaceutical compositions, and to food, beverages, animal feed, personal care and pharmaceutical compositions containing such a (modified) rice endosperm protein and such a composition, respectively.
摘要:
A novel safflower oil emulsion and method of preparation is disclosed. The safflower oil is 100% all natural, non-genetically modified organism (GMO), expeller pressed, solvent free, linoleic fatty acid rich oil wherein the linoleic fatty acid content is in a range from approximately 70% to approximately 80% of the total safflower oil that is mixed with a purified water and a mixture of at least one of an emulsifier, a flavoring, a natural sweetener, a natural coloring agent, and a gum. The mixture is blended to provide a stable emulsion that has the rich taste of a nutritious fruit smoothie that increases metabolism to support a healthy weight management program. The resulting dietary supplement is bioavailable and easily absorbed by the consumer of the emulsified safflower oil dietary supplement.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for the direct extraction or dispersion and concentration of naturally-derived active compounds into food-grade edible solvents or excipients directly usable in food, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical or cosmetic products without the use of synthetic organic solvents or organic solvents derived from petroleum or petrochemical products. The method involves a treatment of a multi-component biomass solvent system with microwave energy having a generally uniform high electric field intensity.
摘要:
The present invention concerns a new method for dehydrating natural fruit and/or vegetable products in order to modify their textural properties, so as to obtain chewy and non-sticky dices or pieces intended to be used by people having (or suffering from) difficult chewing, for example in sweet food, in dried savoury food, in baby food, hospital food, food for seniors and/or clinical nutrition for people with medical conditions.
摘要:
The present invention relates to compositions comprising octenyl-succinic anhydride-modified gum acacia and carotenoids. It has been found that the compositions according to the invention allow to produce emulsions having a very high color intensity, and color stability with a low turbidity. These compositions can be used for the enrichment, fortification and/or coloration of food beverages, animal feed, cosmetics or pharmaceutical compositions. The present invention furthermore refers to a process for the manufacture of a beverage by mixing the compositions with ingredients of beverages. The present invention also refers to beverages obtainable by this process.
摘要:
A controlled release beadlet that sequentially releases carotenoids over time within the gastrointestinal tract of a subject, as well as a method of administering the carotenoids. The beadlet provides a specific ratio of carotenoids which release from the beadlet at preselected times during passage through the gastrointestinal tract. The method includes releasing the carotenoids in preselected ratios at specific time intervals in the gastrointestinal tract to mitigate competition between the carotenoids for their uptake, and/or to potentially maximize the uptake of individual carotenoids within a mixed carotenoid formulation.
