Described in preferred embodiments are dairy gluten free no sugar added coconut milk frozen desert compositions including a unique coconut milk, which have organoleptic qualities comparable to high fat frozen desserts such as ice cream. The compositions are composed of organic coconut milk comprising organic coconut solids and water, a sweetening agent and vegetable glycerin. Also described are dairy gluten free no sugar added flavors and inclusion compositions and methods for their production and incorporation into the dairy gluten free no sugar added coconut milk frozen desserts. Also provided are methods of making the frozen desert products.

A composition for coating an edible substrate including about 85.0 wt % to about 95.0 wt % of a cellulose film former (e.g., hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose), about 5.0 wt % to about 15.0 wt % of a plasticizer (e.g., glycerin), and about 1.0 wt % to about 4.0 wt % of a lubricant selected from sunflower oil, vegetable oil, hydrogenated vegetable oil, mineral oil, a fatty acid, or a combination thereof, relative to the total weight of non-water components of the composition. The composition may be applied to a nutritional supplement, a pharmaceutical, a tablet, a capsule, a softgel, a granule, a microparticle, a nanoparticle, a seed, a sugar sphere, gum chew base, chewable gel, or a gummy substrate

A film coating composition comprising a cellulosic polymer, an opacifying agent, and a fatty acid is disclosed herein. Also disclosed is a film coating composition comprising a cellulosic polymer, an opacifying agent, a plasticizing agent, and a polyol. The disclosed film coating compositions may be mixed with a solvent to produce a film coating suspension. The film coating suspension can be applied to a substrate, such as a nutritional supplement, pharmaceutical, tablet, capsule, softgel, granule, particle, food confectionary form, agricultural seed, and the like to form a film coating on the substrate. Methods of coating a substrate with the film coating suspensions are also provided.

The present disclosure relates to the field of food and/or drug technology. Disclosed is a blood lipid-lowering composition, method for preparing the same and use thereof. The blood lipid-lowering composition comprises echium seed oil, camelina seed oil and safflower seed oil. The specific natural substances echium seed oil, camelina seed oil and safflower seed oil are used as the functional ingredients to form a natural composition that can significantly reduce the total cholesterol and triglyceride levels and increase the content of the serum apolipoprotein A1, having an obvious blood lipid-lowering function, which may be used in developing and preparing blood lipid-lowering drugs and foods, especially health care foods.

A protein gummy composition comprises between 40% and 80% by weight of a sweetener, between 5% and 30% by weight of a plant-based protein, and between 1% and 10% by weight of a plant-based gelling agent. The sweetener may be at least one sweetener selected from the group of sweeteners including isomalto-oligosaccharide, maltitol, inulin, tapioca syrup, and corn syrup. The plant-based protein may be at least one plant-based protein selected from the group of plant-based proteins including pea protein, rice protein, sunflower protein, hemp protein, and chia protein. The plant-based gelling agent may be at least one plant-based gelling agent selected from the group of plant-based gelling agents including agar, pectin, carrageenan, and locust bean gum.
