摘要:
The present invention discloses pharmaceutical/nutritional compositions for alleviating symptoms associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and methods of treatment for PMS using such pharmaceutical/nutritional composition including: at least 2% (w/w) phosphatidyl-L-serine, or salts thereof, out of a total composition, as an effective ingredient, wherein: the phosphatidyl-L-serine has a structural fatty-acid chain derived from at least one raw material lecithin. Preferably, the phosphatidyl-L-serine is produced by enzymatic reaction of at least one raw material lecithin with phospholipase-D; at least one raw material lecithin is selected from the group consisting of: a vegetal lecithin and a non-vegetal lecithin; and the phospholipase-D is selected from the group consisting of: vegetal phospholipase-D, bacterial-originated enzyme phospholipase-D, and a combination of vegetal phospholipase-D and bacterial-originated enzyme phospholipase-D. Preferably, the structural fatty-acid chain is a saturated, hydrogenated fatty-acid chain. Preferably, the phosphatidyl-L-serine is derived from a dairy lecithin.

摘要:
The present invention discloses processes a process for the preparation of phosphatide-salt complexes, the process including the steps of: using at least one raw material lecithin as a substrate; and enzymatically processing at least one raw material lecithin with phospholipase-D, racemic or enantiomerically-pure serine, and/or amine in an aqueous carboxylate-salt-complex solution, wherein the step of processing is performed in a single-phase reaction environment, to produce phosphatide-salt complexes having a structural fatty-acid chain derived from at least one raw material lecithin. Preferably, the step of processing is performed at a pH in the range of about 4.5-8.0 at a temperature in the range of about 25-60° C. Preferably, the aqueous carboxylate-salt-complex solution is formed from an aqueous solution of a carboxylic acid with a chain length of C2-C8 and a salt in an approximately 1:2 (weight per weight) acid-to-salt ratio.

摘要:
An infant formula supplemented with phospholipids. A composition for feeding infants is claimed. The composition includes an infant formula base and a phospholipid supplement. The supplement includes a product of an enzymatic reaction between a crude phospholipid source and phospholipase-D and includes phosphatidylserine or salts thereof as an effective ingredient. Phosphatidylserine from the phospholipid supplement represents between 0.1% and 19.99% (w/w) of a total phospholipid content of the composition. Preferably the phosphatidylserine has a structural fatty acid chain derived from the raw material lecithin. The composition is more similar to human milk with regard to phospholipid composition. Methods of production and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.
