A food discoloration inhibitor contains, as an effective ingredient, a low molecular weight lignin having a molecular weight peak in a molecular weight range of 4,000 to 9,500 and/or a high molecular weight lignin having a molecular weight peak in a molecular weight range of 10,000 to 40,000, wherein the molecular weight peak is measured at a wavelength of 254 nm by GPC molecular weight analysis using an UV detector.

The invention concerns novel compositions, comprises at least 2 different sources of ω-3 fatty acids, wherein the first is hoki roe powder at 5% (w/w) particularly for use in supplements and/or animal or human food stuffs. The invention may further relate to the treatment of veterinary conditions, such as use in the improvement of inflammation or joint related disorders that maybe associated with inflammation.

A stackable serving container apparatus for use with shellfish, or any other type of similar food. More particularly, a stackable serving tray apparatus that allows for ease and functionality with respect to serving cooked shellfish that is ready to be eaten and needs to be kept warm, and simultaneously provides an area for any removed shells to be discarded.

In one embodiment, a minimally-processed microwaveable lobster product including a lobster tail, a fat-containing composition, and a microwaveable package. The lobster tail has a shell containing lobster meat. The shell has a longitudinal axis with at least one cut formed generally parallel to the longitudinal axis. The fat-containing composition is disposed in a region above the lobster tail. The microwaveable package has first and second resilient layers. The first resilient layer is disposed under the lobster tail and contacts the lobster tail. The second resilient layer is disposed above the lobster tail and contacts the lobster tail and the fat-containing composition.

Disclosed is a deep fry coating mix with which it is possible to produce deep-fried food whose coating has a good and crispy texture and maintains the good texture even after a certain period of time has elapsed after production. The deep fry coating mix contains 30 to 70% by mass of starch with a degree of swelling of 10 or less, and 30 to 70% by mass of a water-soluble dietary fiber. It is preferable that the water-soluble dietary fiber is one or more selected from the group consisting of inulin, indigestible dextrin, and β glucan. The deep fry coating mix is particularly useful as a coating powder or for preparing a batter liquid.

Methods of producing a chitin composition by which the properties of the chitin composition derived from krill, such as molecular weight (chain length) and degree of acetylation are reproducible, are claimed. Such reproducible production methods allow for a wide use of the chitin composition end products in pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. The methods also allow for the production of chitin compositions which preserve the native state of chitin.

The present invention relates to a composition for improving bone health, and the composition includes a fermented extract extracted from a fermented material of oysters, which is obtained by fermenting oysters, and the fermented extract may promote bone formation by suppressing the activity of osteoclasts and promoting the activity of osteoblasts. The composition contains large amounts of taurine and vitamins, and natural gamma-aminobutyric acid.
