The present invention is the storage of biologically active natural ingredients in carbonated water. In a specific embodiment, the present invention is the storage in carbonated water of animal tissue containing type II collagen. Such type II collagen is useful for alleviating the symptoms of arthritis in mammals as well as the treatment of arthritis in mammals. Such type II collagen is also useful for the prevention of arthritis in mammals. The present invention is also a method for the preparation of a nutritional supplement that includes the steps of: (a) separating animal tissue containing water-insoluble, undenatured type II collagen from animal tissue not containing type II collagen; (b) subdividing and sterilizing said tissue under conditions which do not change the original structure of the type II collagen to produce a subdivided and sterilized product; (c) packaging the subdivided and sterilized product in carbonated water.

Described herein are soft capsules and enteric soft capsules comprising cationic Type A gelatin and acid insoluble enteric polymers. In particular, the compositions and methods for manufacturing all-natural enteric soft capsules comprising Type A gelatin and matrix fills are described. In one embodiment, the enteric soft capsules comprise active ingredients such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). In another embodiment, the enteric soft capsule comprises matrix fills of omega-3 fatty acids.

Systems and methods for preparing and dispensing single serving gelatin-based food products in an efficient and cost-effective way. A gelatin-based product making device includes a container receiving portion configured to removably receive one or more disposable dry ingredients containers that store dry ingredients used to make the gelatin-based products. The device is operative to automatically mix the dry ingredients with a liquid, heat the mixture, and rapidly cool the mixture to form a batch of gelatin-based product. The device includes a dispenser operative to dispense single servings of the gelatin-based product into cups that may be provided to consumers.

The present invention relates to a composition in the form of compacted particles, comprising at least 5 wt %, preferably at least 10 wt %, more preferably at least 15 wt %, of gelatin and/or collagen hydrolysate.

One aspect of the present disclosure is a stabilizer composition for stabilizing a liquid composition containing a collagen peptide having a tripeptide composed of Gly-Pro-Hyp, and a food having the same, and in stabilizer composition for stabilizing a liquid composition containing a collagen peptide according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the stabilizer composition contains glucono-delta-lactone as an active ingredient, a pH is 3.0 to 4.0, the GPH, an indicator ingredient of the collagen peptide, is stabilized, and there is an excellent effect of being able to easily manufacture and distribute as a food with a longer shelf life and a very high preference for the decrease in GPH content as the storage period is prolonged.

An apparatus includes a food product, at least one ingestible device associated with the food product to communicate information and at least one coating material surrounding the at least one ingestible device is disclosed. The ingestible device is associated with an ingestible medication to be ingested in conjunction with the food product. The coating is configured to release the at least one ingestible device upon the occurrence of an event.

The present invention is to inhibit the cracks of the protective layer when producing the three-layered capsules and to solve the problems of cracks when producing and storing in the cooled condition to provide a three-layered capsule and a production thereof without suck generation of cracks. The present invention provides a three-layered capsule which comprises: a content comprising a main agent dispersed or solubilized in oil material, a protective layer, formed on the content, comprising edible refined and processed oil, and a shell, formed on an outside the protective layer, comprising natural polymer, the three layers being present concentrically, and a producing method of the capsule.

According to embodiments, a dry powdered composition which may be reconstituted to provide a gelatin product includes powdered gelatin and a pelletized colorant. The pelletized colorant includes a pigment-protein complex and at least one encapsulating agent for encapsulating the pigment-protein complex. The pelletized colorant has a rate of dissolution of less than 2 grams/minute in water having an initial temperature of from about 95 C. to about 100 C. Methods of making food products with the pelletized colorant are also disclosed. In embodiments, when the food products are measured on the L*a*b* color space, the food products have an L* value of about 49 to about 57, an a* value of about 10 to about 16, and a b* value of from about 11 to about 20.5.

A casting compound for the production of gelatin products comprises a homogenous aqueous solution having: 4% to 16% by weight of gelatin having a molecular weight determined by gel chromatography of at least 130 kDa, where the proportion of the gelatin having a molecular weight exceeding 130 kDa is at least 35% by weight, 6% to 76% by weight of one or more sugar alcohols; 0% to 50% by weight of glucose syrup having a viscosity of less than 800 mPas, measured at a dry matter content of 80% by weight and a temperature of 50 C.; and 0% to 50% by weight of sucrose, where the glucose syrup and the sugar alcohol(s) together make up 25% to 76% by weight of the aqueous solution, and where the aqueous solution has a dry matter content of at least 78% by weight and/or a water activity (aw value) of less than 0.75.

Provided herein is an exercise supporting nutritional supplement with an associated delivery platform, method, and system. As disclosed the exercise supporting nutritional supplement may comprise some or all of Agmatine Sulfate, Betaine Anhydrous, Choline (as Choline Bitartrate), Citrulline, Creatine Monohydrate, Beta Alanine, L-Tyrosine, Choline Bitartrate, Bovine Collagen, Caffeine Anhydrous, Pink Himalayan Salt, and Black Pepper Extract.
