The present invention relates to a new whey protein hydrolysate having reduced allergenicity and retained immunogenicity. The new whey protein hydrolysate is also characterized by having a low amount of larger peptides. The invention furthermore relates to a method of preparing the new whey protein hydrolysates, uses of the new whey protein hydrolysates and food products comprising this new whey protein hydrolysate.

An implantable device for delivery of a macromolecular drug compound is provided. The device comprises a core having an outer surface and a membrane layer positioned adjacent to the outer surface of the core. The core comprises a core polymer matrix within which is dispersed a drug compound having a molecular weight of about 5 kDa or more, the polymer matrix containing a hydrophobic polymer. The membrane polymer matrix includes from about 70 wt. % to about 99 wt. % of an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer.

Compositions having at least one compound which inhibits the formation of Hemipteran stylet sheaths and/or degrades hemipteran style sheaths that have already been formed, and thus deters or blocks hemipteran insects from feeding on plants, especially agriculturally important plants and methods of use of such compositions are described. Such compositions can be applied onto plants by spraying, dripping, or other methods and/or can be applied to the soil for uptake by the roots. These compositions and methods prevent and/or reduce the transmission of vascular associated diseases (caused by hemipteran vector-borne pathogens) to plants.

Powder composition of Tranexamic acid have been provided for the treatment of wound and bleeding. The powder composition may also contain aprotinin and epsilon-aminocaproic acid as active antifibrinolytic agent. The composition may also contain antibiotic(s), anti-inflammatory agent(s), local anesthetic(s) and hydrophilic polymer(s). The powder composition in this patent application is applied to mucosal or non-mucosal surfaces, but it is not for an oral administration.

The present disclosure provides amine-modified polymer foams, which may be used for wound dressing materials. For example, the modified materials can include a covalently attached molecule comprising free amine groups. Such amine groups can be used, for instance, to conjugate biologically active polypeptides and/or linkers. Methods for using modified polymers are also provided.

The present disclosure provides a preparation method of a yak hide-derived oligopeptide ferrous chelate with a high antioxidant activity. The preparation method includes preparing a yak hide-derived oligomeric collagen peptide and subjecting the yak hide-derived oligomeric collagen peptide as a protein source to chelation with an iron source in water. A pretreated yak hide is subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis under a pH value of 7 at 50 C. for 4 h with an amount of an enzyme added at 2% to obtain a yak skin-derived collagen with a molecular weight of less than 2 kDa; the chelation is conducted in a peptide-to-iron mass ratio of 1:1 to 5:1 with a peptide concentration of 1% to 5% at 30 C. to 70 C. for 20 min to 60 min under a pH value of 3 to 8; and an iron chelating capacity is 42.72 mg/g under optimal preparation conditions.

The present invention provides a novel proteolytic enzyme composition more particularly an orally administered proteolytic enzyme composition comprising of one or more acid proteases, one or more alkaline protease and one or more plant proteases. More particularly, the composition comprises of microbial (fungal, bacterial or other microbes) protease enzymes, proteases from plant and animals proteases thereof.
