A composition for improving the health of a subject in a manner comparable to a bowl of homemade chicken soup is provided. The composition may include n-acetyl cysteine, vitamin C, and one or more carotenoids. The composition may be designed for oral consumption in a variety of dosage forms. The composition may be delivered utilizing a portable all-in-one delivery system. The delivery system may include an interconnected two piece bottle cap that together define a storage chamber that may hold the composition, and a bottle with a solvent connected to the interconnected two-piece bottle cap. The interconnected two-piece bottle cap may be in a locked or in an open state. The composition may be released into the solvent when the two-piece bottle cap interconnection is in the open state. The two-piece bottle cap may further include a delivery mechanism that switches the two-piece bottle cap interconnection from the closed state to the open state.

A method for producing a red colorant composition derived from iridoid compounds, including a step of performing red color development that involves reaction of iridoid aglycones having a carboxyl group at position 4 of an iridoid skeleton with amino group-containing compounds, said red color development being performed in a solution in which ascorbic acid, similar compounds thereof, or two or more compounds selected from the group consisting of said ascorbic acid and said similar compounds are contained at a molar ratio of 5 or more with respect to all iridoid compounds in the solution, whereby red colorant compounds having acid resistance are generated.

The present invention provides beta-cryptoxanthin crystals from plant source and a process for its preparation. The present invention particularly relates to a process for the preparation of high purity beta-cryptoxanthin crystals comprising at least about 10% by weight total xanthophylls, of which at least about 75% by weight is trans-beta-cryptoxanthin and the remaining including beta-carotene, and trace amounts of trans-capsanthin and other carotenoids derived from the plant source, including capsicum fruits. The production of beta-cryptoxanthin crystals with high content of trans-beta-cryptoxanthin makes it ideal and suitable for use as a provitamin A source material and also has potential effects on improving bone health and inhibiting bone resorption.
