摘要:
The present invention relates to a prebiotic composition comprising: (i) a enzymatically modified high intensity sweetener glycoside; and an oligosaccharide. In particular, the invention relates to a galactosylated and/or fructosylated and/or deglycosylated high intensity sweetener glycoside; and (ii) an oligosaccharide obtained during the same enzymatic reaction. Uses and methods of producing the composition are also described.
摘要:
The present invention relates to anon-digestible prebiotic oligosaccharide modified so as to incorporate one or more monosaccharideunits thereon and have a higher sweetness value than the unmodified oligosaccharide. Uses and methods of producing the non-digestible prebiotic oligosaccharides are also described.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a composition comprising a levansucrase modified high intensity sweetener glycoside, a polysaccharide and an unmodified high intensity sweetener glycoside. The invention also relates to a method for enzymatically modifying a high intensity sweetener glycoside comprising contacting the high intensity sweetener glycoside with a levansucrase in the presence of a monosaccharide acceptor to produce an enzymatically modified high intensity sweetener glycoside and a polysaccharide. The invention also relates to the use of the composition as a low calorie sweet functional fibre, sweet prebiotic or as a bulk sugar replacement. The invention also relates to the use of a levansucrase for fructosylating a high intensity sweetener glycoside.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a discovery platform for screening one or more Streptococcus , Lactobacillus or Propionibacterium bacterial strains for the ability to produce and/or produce a high yield of galactooligosaccharides (GOS) comprising assessing the β- galactosidase activity of a strain under growth conditions and identifying whether the activity has: a) Miller Unit which are equal to or greater than about 60 for Streptococcus or Lactobacillus strains; or b) Miller Unit which are equal to or greater than about 3 for Propionibacterium strains. The present invention also relates to compositions incorporating GOS produced from bacterial strains identified by the screening process.
摘要:
The present invention relates to compositions for use and formulation as weight management products and in particular fermented dairy foodstuffs. The compositions generally comprise two or more of the following components: a) a microbiome modifying component; b) a satiety modifying component; and c) a metabolic modifying 5 component and at least one of the following: d) St reptococcus thermophilus CBS 139100 and L actobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus CBS 139099 microbial strains or mutant strains or fragments or fractions thereof; e) a combination of Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus microbial strains which together, or individually, are capable of secreting polysaccharides having high levels of galactosamine 10 and no or low levels of rhamnose and glucuronic acid when grown on a dairy substrate; or f) polysaccharides formed of: i) 15 – 25 % galactosamine; ii) 45 – 60 % galactose; and iii) 20 – 30 % glucose. The compositions may also be useful in the management or treatment of obesity, elevated cholesterol, diabetes, hypertension or heart disease.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a composition comprising two or more prebiotics, chromium and soluble fibre components, wherein the composition is formed by the physical binding together of the components into a powder with an average particle size of less than or equal to about 2 mm. The invention also relates to methods of producing the one or more particles.
摘要:
The present invention relates to high intensity sweetener glycosides which have been modified using a glycosyltransferase so as to reduce off-flavours. The invention also relates to uses of the modified high intensity sweetener glycosides and methods of production thereof.
摘要:
The present invention relates to compositions and foodstuffs for use in increasing gastrointestinal microbiota diversity comprising: a) glucomannan; b) chromium; and c) a prebiotic (FOS). The compositions and foodstuffs are particularly suited for that increasing gastrointestinal microbiota diversity over a prolonged period of time which can assist individuals in reducing their weight and, more importantly, maintaining their lower weight over the longer term.
摘要:
The present invention relates to compositions comprising Lactobacillus plantarum 2830 (ECGC 13110402), or mutant strain or strains thereof, for use in the treatment or prevention of hypercholesterolaemia, and in particular reducing the total cholesterol (TC) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, in an individual. Specific dosage regimes and methods of production are also claimed and described.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a Lactobacillus spp. selective prebiotic composition comprising one, or a mixture of two or more, of: xylooligosaccharides, cellobiose and/or gentiooligosaccharides. The present invention also relates to a synbiotic composition comprising a probiotic component comprising one or more strains of Lactobacillus rhamnosus and/or one or more strains of Lactobacillus plantarum and a prebiotic component comprising a growth medium which is specific for the growth of the probiotic component, wherein the prebiotic growth medium comprises one or more, or a mixture of two of more, components selected from: xylooligosaccharides, cellobiose and/or gentiooligosaccharides. The present invention also relates to methods of producing and selecting such compositions.
