An acetic acid bacteria-containing composition comprising nonanal and methylheptenone, and having a peak area ratio of nonanal to methylheptenone (nonanal:methylheptenone), as determined by stir bar sorptive extraction thermal desorption gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SBSE-GC/MS), of 1:10 to 100:1.

The present invention defines a process for forming a chewable oral dosage form, such as a gum having a pleasant flavor and texture. In particular, the invention includes a process of forming an oral dosage form, comprising: a first step of hydrating a gelling agent of agar-agar and locust bean gum; a second step of mixing in components of the agar matrix; a third step of mixing in an active ingredient; a fourth step of cooking the mixture; a fifth step of flavoring; a sixth step of moulding and gelling; and a seventh step of demoulding, degreasing and drying. The oral dosage form according to the invention also comprises an agar-agar matrix combined with gums, such as locust bean gum, and/or sugar; glycerol; inulin; flavoring agents; citric acid; a coating; and water, to complete the composition, which includes active ingredients.

The present invention discloses a non-acidic-candy based composition for arresting or reversing dental caries by transforming the oral cavity from an acidic, bacteria-filled environment to an environment more conducive to remineralization by quickly neutralizing the acids recreated by ingestion of acidic compounds or by cariogenic bacteria while supplying necessary ions for tooth remineralization. This improves oral health, prevents pain and suffering, and serves as a conduit to deliver additional therapeutic agents. The composition comprises any combination of a calcium-based compound, a bicarbonate compound, a fluoride compound, an active ingredient, a therapeutic agent based on need, a non-cariogenic sweetener, a hydrating agent, at least one additive, and water. The composition is a candy that has a non-acidic-based composition which neutralizes acids while delivering necessary ions in a pH optimized environment to create the best possible conditions needed to arrest and/or reverse disease processes in the oral cavity and beyond.

The present disclosure provides a multicolored hawthorn polyphenol low-sugar soft sweet, comprising the following raw materials: 58 g to 62 g of a hawthorn puree, 6 g to 8 g of xylitol, 4 mg to 5 mg of hawthorn polyphenol, 5.0 g±0.5 g of gelatin, 0.3 g±0.1 g of agar, and a hawthorn fruit vinegar powder, the hawthorn fruit vinegar powder is added to allow a sugar-acid ratio of the multicolored hawthorn polyphenol low-sugar soft sweet to be (27-30):1. A preparation method thereof includes the following steps of: weighing, mashing, freezing, and thawing hawthorn pulp and/or peel, boiling with water for 9 min to 21 min, and conducting filtering to obtain the hawthorn puree; adding the xylitol to the hawthorn puree, boiling, adding the gelatin and the agar, and concentrating; after cooling, adding the hawthorn fruit vinegar powder, and stirring evenly; recooling, adding the hawthorn polyphenol, and stirring evenly to obtain a juice; and subjecting the juice to deposit forming, coagulation, refrigerating forming and drying to obtain the multicolored hawthorn polyphenol low-sugar soft sweet. The multicolored hawthorn soft sweets are suitable for the taste of the public due to the characteristics of attractive color (no pigment added), antioxidation, low sugar, excellent elasticity, high transparency, and sour and sweet flavor.

The present invention relates to a human food comprising a basic food product and an ingredient, wherein the ingredient comprising one or more health-enhancing microorganism and a combination of at least one fermented seaweed material and at least one fermented plant material.

A confection may include one or more skin protective ingredients, a thickening agent, and a sweetening agent. The one or more skin protective ingredients may include Polypodium leucotomos extract, astaxanthin, Pinus pinaster, lycopene, lutein, and/or zeaxanthin. In some embodiments, the confection may be formulated as a gummy, chewable, or candy, and may be taken orally on a regular basis (e.g., daily) to treat and/or prevent one or more skin conditions.

An object of the present invention is to provide an edible film that can be kept for a long time in the oral cavity and ingested readily. Additionally, another object of the present invention is to provide an edible film that does not degrade the activity of the enzyme contained in the edible film for a long period of time. The objects are achieved by an edible film comprising lactoperoxidase, glucose oxidase, a glucose source, and a film former.

A fruit snack with probiotics that is stable at room temperature is manufactured by combining various ingredients including fruit juices/purees to produce a slurry and cooking the slurry to produce a center that contains a high moisture content. The fruit snack center is covered with a barrier layer which in turn is covered by an outer layer that contains heat sensitive ingredients, such as probiotic cultures. The barrier layer substantially prevents migration of moisture from the center to the outer layer, and the fruit snack is cooled prior to applying the outer layer to minimize damage/harm to the heat sensitive ingredients. In addition to including probiotic cultures and being stable at room temperature, the fruit snack has other desirable characteristics including a chewy soft texture and fruit-flavorings, and may be manufactured using traditional processes.

The present invention provides an ostrich antibody-containing composition for treating a bacterial infectious disease, and a method for treating a bacterial infectious disease by using the ostrich antibody. The present invention further provides a method for producing this ostrich antibody. The infectious disease can be a gastrointestinal infection. The ostrich antibody can be produced by using a component derived from a bacterium as an immunogen. The bacterium can be Clostridium difficile, Vibrio cholera, Staphylococcus aureus, or the like. Further, the bacterium can be a drug-resistant bacterium.
