The present invention refers to the use of a calcium carbonate-based composition as an anticaking agent, wherein the calcium carbonate-based composition comprises a first component being a natural ground calcium carbonate or a precipitated calcium carbonate, and a second component being a surface-reacted calcium carbonate, wherein the surface-reacted calcium carbonate is a reaction product of natural ground calcium carbonate or precipitated calcium carbonate with carbon dioxide and at least one H.sub.3O.sup.+ ion donor, wherein the carbon dioxide is formed in situ by the at least one H.sub.3O.sup.+ ion donor treatment and/or is supplied from an external source. Furthermore, the present invention refers to a particulate composition comprising such an anticaking agent, and to a method for producing such a particulate composition.

An iron-containing composition containing ferric pyrophosphate, a polyhydric alcohol, gum arabic, and gum ghatti, wherein the content of the polyhydric alcohol is from 93 to 630 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the ferric pyrophosphate, and wherein a total amount of gum arabic and gum ghatti is from 15 to 23 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the ferric pyrophosphate, and wherein a mass ratio of the content of the gum arabic to the content of the gum ghatti (gum arabic/gum ghatti) is from 0.01 to 0.5, and wherein the ferric pyrophosphate has a volume-average particle size of 0.20 μm or less. The iron-containing composition of the present invention can be used in foodstuff, feeds, cosmetics, pharmaceutical compositions, and the like.

The acetic acid-containing food or drink comprises 0.02 w/v % or more of acetic acid and at least one member selected from the group consisting of 2-butanone (component A) and 3-methylbutanal (component B).

The present disclosure relates to a composition for alleviating, preventing or treating sarcopenia, containing, as an active ingredient, a whey protein hydrolysate, obtained by performing, on whey protein, primary hydrolysis using a Bacillus licheniformis-derived endoprotease and secondary hydrolysis using an Aspergillus oryzae-derived exoprotease, which inhibits protein degradation and activates protein synthesis through the PI3K-Akt pathway, thereby reducing muscle loss and increasing muscle size and muscle strength.

The oral concentrated additive Mixture will mask any odor being expelled from the mouth. The concentrate will be used in, but not limited to, a liquid form to be placed on the tongue. It also will be a concentrate to be added to any drinkable liquid to include water, any water based products as well as any soft drink. It also will be added to manufactured candy products as well as any chew-able products to included chewing gum as well as gummy products.

The proprietary ingredients will be stickily tailored to the manufacturer of the concentrate.

Shelf stable aggregate foods are described that include a chewy binder that includes essentially no non-intact sugar sources. A binder in a shelf stable aggregate food remains chewy over shelf life and contains a sprouted whole grain ingredient, gum Arabic, an oil, and glycerin. Also described are methods of making a shelf stable aggregate food.

Provided are: a processed edible powder that, when used in a fried-food coating, makes it possible to improve the texture of the coating to a desired texture that undergoes little deterioration over time, makes excellent crispiness and lightness texture; a method for manufacturing said processed edible powder; a fried-food coating in which said processed edible powder is used; a method for manufacturing a fried-food coating; and a method for improving the texture of a fried-food coating.

An oil and fat solidifier is mixed with an edible powder formed from a starchy and/or fibrous raw material to obtain a processed edible powder. Using the processed edible powder as a raw material in a fried-food coating makes it possible to obtain a fried-food having a desired coating texture that undergoes little deterioration over time, makes excellent crispiness and lightness texture.

The present disclosure relates to an energy-promoting composition including a stimulant, a slow carbohydrate, an exogenous ketone body, and a nootropic agent. The present disclosure also relates to a composition wherein the components beneficially and/or synergistically interact with one another to enhance the overall energy-promoting effect of the composition more rapidly and to a greater degree than if one or more of the components are omitted.

The present application relates to a Leuconostoc mesenteroides CJLM181 strain (KCTC 13042BP) producing decreased amounts of gas, a fermentation starter composition comprising the same, and a method for preparing kimchi using the strain.
