Disclosed herein is a method for improving the health of animal or human microflora using aloe vera. A method of purifying decolorized dried aloe vera leaf juice is also disclosed. The method may include removing an aloe vera leaf from an aloe vera plant, washing and/or sanitizing the leaf, and grinding the leaf into a slurry and subsequently purifying with activated carbon. The method may remove pigmented substances including the undesirable phenolic compounds present in aloe vera latex, and in particular the anthrones aloin A and aloin B, aloesin (a chromone) and aloe-emodin (an anthraquinone). Following purification, the liquid juice may then be spray-dried to form a final dry juice powder.

The present invention provides novel use of Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei K56 in alleviation of intestinal inflammation. Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei K56 of the present invention has the deposit number CGMCC 15139 or DSM 27447. It was discovered in the present invention that the strain alone was highly efficacious at alleviating intestinal inflammation, reducing inflammatory factors IL-6 and/or TNF-α, promoting the anti-inflammatory factor IL-10, and reducing the tissue damage of colitis.

Provided are a pharmaceutical composition, a quasi-drug composition, a feed additive, a drinking water additive, a feed, and a drinking water for preventing, ameliorating, or treating porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) virus infection, each including, as an active ingredient, a complex including a curcuminoid-based compound and a licorice extract or a fraction thereof.

The present invention aims to provide an agent for preventing or ameliorating stress disorders, which agent is highly safe and effective, causes less side effects, and can be continuously used for a long time.

One embodiment of the present invention is an agent for preventing or ameliorating stress disorders comprising, as an active ingredient, a lactic acid bacterium Lactobacillus delbrueckii subspecies lactis or a lactic acid bacterium-derived ingredient therefrom.

The invention relates to a disposable cartridge filled with a single serve portion of a liquid ingredient to be combined with a base liquid for the preparation of a liquid product, e.g. a beverage concentrate to be combined with water, e.g. carbonated water, for the preparation of a beverage suitable for human consumption. The cartridge comprises a vertically extending channel that extends to a dispensing aperture in the bottom of the cartridge and one or more dispensing passages extending between a reservoir and the outside of the cartridge. The dispensing passages are provided with outlet openings located adjacent the aperture such that the base liquid and the liquid ingredient are dispensed in parallel flows, the liquid ingredient subsequently coating the exterior of the stream of base liquid, such that actual mixing of the liquid ingredient and base liquid only takes place after both have been dispensed.
