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 crystalline pigment or colorant composition having high color intensity and/or low sugar content, and methods and processes of preparation. The composition may comprise purified fruit and/or vegetable color juices.

The present disclosure generally relates to edible compositions comprising naturally derived food colorants, and more specifically to edible compositions comprising naturally derived food colorants and a stability enhancing isoquercitrin anti-oxidant. A claim is directed to an edible composition comprising from about 0.0005 to about 3 percent by weight of a natural colorant; and from about 0.015 to about 0.15 percent by weight of enzymatically modified isoquercitrin antioxidant. The natural colorant is preferably selected from carotenoid, curcumin, anthocyanins, betanin, gardenia blue, gardenia yellow, chlorophyllins, phycocyanins and combinations thereof.

Novel safflower oil emulsion and method of preparation. The safflower oil is 100% all natural, non-genetically modified organism (GMO), expeller pressed, solvent free, linoleic fatty acid rich oil wherein the linoleic fatty acid content is in a range from approximately 70% to approximately 80% of the total safflower oil that is mixed with a purified water and a mixture of at least one of an emulsifier, a flavoring, a natural sweetener, a natural coloring agent, and a gum. The mixture is blended to provide a stable emulsion that has the rich taste of a nutritious fruit smoothie that increases metabolism to support a healthy weight management program. The resulting dietary supplement is bioavailable and easily absorbed by the consumer of the emulsified safflower oil dietary supplement.

Coloring agents comprising carotenoid natural pigments in the form of solid particles being dispersed in an aqueous phase comprising polysorbate as a water-soluble emulsifier, use of the coloring agents, edible products comprising the coloring agents and a method for preparing the coloring agents.
