Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of compositions comprising receptor ligands obtainable by a process comprising fermenting a food material, comprising animal milk or vegetable proteins, with lactic acid bacteria to obtain a fermented food or feed material that comprises ligands of specific adrenoreceptors and/or serotonin receptors. The fermented food or feed material is useful e.g. for reducing and/or stabilizing heart rate in a mammal. It may furthermore be used for treatment and/or relief of erectile dysfunctions and for treatment and/or relief of benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH), in a mammal.
Abstract:
A method for production of a wine with lower content of alcohol involving treating unfermented grape juice with glucose oxidase and glucose isomerase.
Abstract:
A polypeptide comprising an aspartic protease such as chymosin which is modified so as to comprise at least one —N—X-T-glycosylation site and a method for producing such a polypeptide.
Abstract:
Use of a composition obtainable by a process comprising fermenting a food material, comprising animal milk or vegetable proteins, with a lactic acid bacterium to obtain a fermented food material which comprises active components with heart rate reducing properties for the manufacture of a product for reducing the heart rate and/or the fluctuations in the heart rate of a mammalian.
Abstract:
The present invention refers to a strain of Lactobacillus curvatusbacteria deposited in the Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen and Zellkulturen GmBH (DSMZ) under the accession number DSM 18775, as well as to compositions, cultures and food products comprising thereof. The strain of the invention is useful for preserving food products, especially under refrigerated conditions.
Abstract translation:本发明涉及保藏在登革热数量DSM 18775的Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen和Zellkulturen GmBH(DSMZ)以及其组合物,培养物和包含它们的食品中的弯曲乳杆菌菌株。 本发明的菌株可用于保存食品,特别是在冷藏条件下。
Abstract:
A new method and a system for the simultaneous determination of a biological, chemical and/or physical property of a plurality of individual samples of a turbid is described. The invention relates to a system and colorimetric method for simultaneous determination and measuring properties, such as acidification or pH value, redox potentials, viscosity, diffusion, enzymatic activity, etc. of a plurality of individual samples of a turbid or opaque medium, such as, e.g. milk, whey and related products. In particular, this invention relates to a method for non-invasively and/or non-destructively scanning samples or an array of samples, and determine on the basis of the scanning a specific property, such as pH, of the samples. The method may also be used for multivariate determinations of chemical and/or physical properties.
Abstract:
A device for the continuous dosage of frozen starter cultures into a liquid fermentation medium is provided. The device comprises a fermentation unit and a container for the thawing of the starter cultures. It further comprises means of retaining the frozen cultures inside the thawing container while allowing the culture in liquid form to feed into a circuit for continuously feeding the fermentation medium to be inoculated. Furthermore, a method of dosing a frozen inoculant into a liquid fermentation medium is also described.
Abstract:
Culturally modified lactic acid bacterial cells containing a porphyrin compound and their use in a novel method of reducing the oxygen content in a food and feed product or starting material is provided and means of improving the shelf life and/or quality of such products by using the culturally modified bacterial cells. Such culturally modified cells are useful in the manufacturing of a food and a feed product and for the manufacturing of metabolites produced by modified cells.
Abstract:
A process for obtaining increased yields and/or a reduced reaction time in enzymatic conversion of lactose to lactobionic acid comprising adding to a dairy substrate, such as milk, whey or lactose solution, a carbohydrate oxidase, capable of converting lactose to lactobionic acid, wherein the process is performed under stable control of pH.
Abstract:
A polypeptide comprising an aspartic protease such as chymosin which is modified so as to comprise at least one —N—X-T-glycosylation site and a method for producing said polypeptide.
