Process for enriching microalgal biomass, in particular of the genus Nannochloropsis, with different polyunsaturated fatty acids, primarily docosahexaenoic acid (22:6 n-3, DHA), using oils that are rich in these fatty acids. The process comprises the following steps: Preparing a solution or an emulsion of lipids+emulsifying agent (BSA), Preparing the biomass concentrate to obtain a final concentration of mg/ml or greater, Enriching the biomass concentrate by adding the lipids or the emulsion thereof to the microalgal concentrate, Allowing the mixture to rest under constant stirring for at least 24 hours under lighting conditions.

The process allows for the simultaneous enrichment of microalgal biomass of the genus Nannochloropsis with eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5 n-3) (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6 n-3) (DHA), to obtain a minimum EPA:DHA weight ratio of 10:1, with an EPA content of at least 10% of the total fatty acid content.

The present invention provides a composition comprising adenosine or adenosine triphosphate (ATP) acting as an absorption enhancer when combined with a nutritional material(s) such as nutrients, protein, peptides, vitamins, phytochemicals, minerals, fatty acids, or amino acids or a drug. Methods of administering ATP or adenosine to improve the bioavailability of a nutritional material(s) such as nutrients, protein, peptides, vitamins, phytochemicals, minerals, fatty acids, or amino acids or a drug are described.

Disclosed herein is a refined PUFA oil with an enhanced palatability comparing to the same PUFA oil without refinement. Also disclosed is a food composition for a companion animal or a food for human consumption wherein said food composition comprises the above refined PUFA oil and thus having enhanced palatability. Further disclosed herein is a method for manufacturing the above-mentioned refined PUFA oil wherein said method comprises the step of deodorization.

Various embodiments disclosed relate to modified triglyceride including omega-3 fatty acid residue, structured fat blends including the same, food and fish feeds including the same, and methods of making any of the foregoing. A modified triglyceride includes an omega-3 fatty acid residue and a saturated fatty acid residue. A structured fat blend including the modified triglyceride can be a product of interesterification of a starting material triglyceride including an omega-3 fatty acid residue and a highly saturated triglyceride. When used in a fish feed, the modified triglyceride can experience less leakage in water than the starting material triglyceride including the omega-3 fatty acid residue.

Provided are an oil and fat composition for heat cooking that has an exceptional effect of suppressing negative aspects caused by using edible oil and fat in heat cooking, and an edible material for the same.

This oil and fat composition for heat cooking contains an n-3 edible oil and fat in which the amount of n-3 fatty acid in the total amount of constituent fatty acids is 30 mass % or more and 80 mass % or less, and a base oil and fat consisting of an edible oil and fat other than the n-3 edible oil and fat, the oil and fat composition being characterized in that 0.01 mass % or more and less than 1 mass % of the n-3 edible oil and fat is contained in the oil and fat composition.

A composition of matter for enhancing delivery of bioactive compounds, particularly cannabinoids into the human and animal organisms. The invention enhanced oral, transmucosal and transdermal delivery of a bioactive compound including cannabinoids through the use of an excipient having a desired ratio of fatty acids, and the inclusion of terpenes and terpenoids. The invention particularly includes a lipophilic phytocannabinoid such as THC or CBD, an excipient fatty acid profile including palmitoleic acid and fatty acids selected from the group consisting of oleic acid and palmitic acid, together with terpenes and terpenoids, and combinations thereof in optimal ratios. Essential oils steam-distilled from plants and other organisms are preferred sources for the terpenes and terpenoids. Macadamia nut oil is a preferred excipient having the desired lipid profile. Macadamia nut oil is a non-toxic plant nut oil, offers oxidation resistance to the fatty acids, cannabinoids and terpenes to improve product shelf life, and has a sufficiently low melting temperature to remain fluid while refrigerated to further enhance product shelf life without changing the product phase from a fluid to a solid.

The present invention relates to a method of treating a COVID-19 infection by administering an effective amount of an endogenous compound devoid of significant toxicity. In particular, the present invention relates to a method of treating a patient affected by COVID-19 infection comprising administering an effective amount of a mixture of ultra-micronized palmitoylethanolamide and micronized palmitoylethanolamide to said patient.

The present invention relates to the field of the food industry; it is aimed more particularly at the preparation of food products, namely a range of cream analogues, composed of vegetable ingredients and having functional and organoleptic properties close to those of dairy products.

The present invention relates to a method for treating and/or preventing Huntington disease and other polyglutamine diseases, comprising the step of administering an effective amount of a precursor of propionyl-CoA to an individual in need thereof.

A food composition in the form of a water-in-oil-in water emulsion comprising water; an oil phase comprising vegetable oil and a water-in-oil emulsifier comprising fat crystals; oil-in-water emulsifier, not being egg yolk; egg yolk.
