The invention relates to a particulate product comprising at least 10 wt. % of the coated lactate particles having the following characteristics: comprising one or more carrier particles containing at least 80 wt. % of calcium lactate component selected from calcium lactate hydrates, calcium lactate anhydrous and combinations thereof; comprising a coating layer that covers the one or more carrier particles, said coating layer containing at least 60 wt. % of sodium lactate; containing sodium and calcium in a molar ratio of 2.1:1 to 5:1; and a particle size in the range of 120 to 1,200 m.

The coated lactate particles in the particulate product are very stable, even though the sodium lactate in the coating layer is in direct contact with the surrounding atmosphere.

The particulate product can suitably be used in the preparation of foodstuffs and beverages.

The invention provides diethanolamine and morpholine salts of ursolic acid. Compositions containing the salts, and methods of using the salts are also provided.

Disclosed herein are embodiments of cannabis extraction methods, apparatuses for extracting cannabis, and methods of using cannabis extracts.

Suggested is a composition with stabilized taste and/or odor, comprising (a) at least one acetophenone derivative of formula (I) wherein R.sub.1 stands for hydrogen or methyl, and R.sub.2 stands for hydrogen, hydroxyl or a OCH.sub.3 group, or a cosmetically pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and (b) at least one mono- or polyunsaturated C.sub.8-C.sub.22 fatty acid or its monohydric polyhydric C.sub.1-C.sub.18 alkyl alcohols ester.

Ketogenic compositions include a non-racemic mixture of beta-hydroxybutyrate salts and acid(s) enriched with the R-enantiomer. The compositions are enriched with the R-enantiomer to elevate ketone bodies and increase the rate at which ketosis is achieved yet contains an amount of the S-enantiomer to provide alternative benefits. Beta-hydroxybutyric acid is more rapidly absorbed and utilized by the body than salts or esters, enhances taste, and reduces the need to include citric acid or other edible acids. Beta-hydroxybutyrate salts are more slowly absorbed and utilized by the body and can provide one or more electrolytes. Compositions for increasing ketone body level in a subject may contain a dietetically or pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a non-racemic mixture of R-beta-hydroxybutyrate and S-beta-hydroxybutyrate, wherein the non-racemic mixture of R-beta-hydroxybutyrate and S-beta-hydroxybutyrate contains from about 50.5% to 99.5% by enantiomeric equivalents of R-beta-hydroxybutyrate and from about 49.5% to about 0.5% by enantiomeric equivalents of S-beta-hydroxybutyrate.

Provided herein is a storage stable non-fluoride toothpaste composition enriched with a dietary supplement containing both oil soluble and water soluble vitamins. The dietary supplement is incorporated into the toothpaste, the dietary supplement containing a water soluble vitamin portion including at least one water soluble vitamin and an oil soluble vitamin portion. The oil soluble vitamin portion includes at least one oil soluble vitamin, a carrier oil and an emulsifier. The toothpaste is thereby formulated in a manner such that oral application will result in systemic delivery of at least a portion of the dietary supplement to meet a 2% RDI threshold even when 3 or less serving sizes are orally applied.

A hydrocarbon oil intended to be used as a drug including a content by weight of isoparaffins ranging from 90 to 100%, a content by weight of normal paraffins ranging from 0 to 10% and having a content of carbon of biological origin greater than or equal to 90% relative to the total weight of the hydrocarbon oil.

A shelf stable, edible sphere containing alcohol and methods for preparing the same. The edible sphere comprises a liquid and/or gel inner core comprising ethyl alcohol and an outer membrane comprising alginate, wherein the outer membrane coats and encapsulates the liquid and/or gel inner core and wherein the edible sphere is shelf stable for at least one month. The process for preparing the shelf stable, edible sphere comprises combining an alcoholic beverage, a calcium salt, and optionally one or more further components to form a cocktail solution, de-aerating and either freezing the cocktail solution to form a frozen cocktail solution or adding a thickening compound to the de-aerated cocktail solution to form a viscous cocktail solution, immersing the frozen cocktail solution or viscous cocktail solution in a sodium alginate bath at ambient temperature for a period of time to form an edible sphere containing alcohol, and removing the edible sphere containing alcohol from the alginate bath and rinsing it with water to form a shelf stable edible sphere.

Provided herein are formulations and methods helping individuals enhance cognitive function, facilitate memory processing, induce and maintain sleep, stabilize mood, reduce symptoms of stress and anxiety, facilitate energy production, improve mental and emotional health, or support long-term brain health.

The use of mucic acid gallate compounds in a non-sugar sweetener such as a steviol glycoside-containing consumable to provide lingering aftertaste specific masking effect is provided.
