Disclosed is a nutritional composition for use in modulating or reducing inflammation in an adult or elderly individual in need thereof. In some aspects, the nutritional composition comprises a neutral human milk oligosaccharide.

The present invention relates to compositions and foodstuffs for use in increasing gastrointestinal microbiota diversity comprising: a) glucomannan; b) chromium; and c) a prebiotic (FOS). The compositions and foodstuffs are particularly suited for that increasing gastrointestinal microbiota diversity over a prolonged period of time which can assist individuals in reducing their weight and, more importantly, maintaining their lower weight over the longer term.

The present invention relates to the field of the manufacture of food compounds derived from processing plant species, more specifically the process taught here provides products resulting from a process for obtaining compounds derived from vegetable raw material. The present invention describes the recovery of lecithin from the micelle/soy molasses, a residue obtained during the soy carrier concentrate (SPC) process. In a first aspect of the invention it describes a process for extracting phospholipids in conjunction with extraction of soluble sugars during the industrial process of obtaining (SPC). In a second aspect, the present invention describes an industrial process for recovering/removing such micelle phospholipids/soy molasses, cleaning and use for the production of soy lecithin.

A triglyceride oil-in-glycerin emulsion with triglyceride oil in an amount equal to between forty and seventy percent of the emulsion on a weight basis, glycerin in an amount equal to between twenty and sixty percent of the emulsion on a weight basis, and lecithin in an amount equal to between one and ten percent of the emulsion on a weight basis. The lecithin has a hydrophilic lipophilic balance value in the range of four to seven and contains at least ten percent phosphatidylcholine on a weight basis. The free fatty acids in the emulsion have an acid value of less than two. The emulsion does not contain any preservatives.

Liquid nutritional compositions have an off-white color with a Hunter L value not less than 68, and comprise (a) a protein; (b) a carbohydrate; (c) an oxidizable fish oil containing an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid; (d) rosmarinic acid; and (e) ferric iron comprising ferric orthophosphate and/or ferric pyrophosphate. The liquid nutritional compositions exhibit reduced off-flavors and aromas typically encountered in compositions including fish oil.
