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.

There is provided a formula for creating a low carbohydrate value sugar fondant comprising: at least 50% by weight Erythritol, up to 30% by weight monosaccharide; and up to 5% by weight gelling agent, the fondant is used for pastry decorating and is flexible and stretchy and may be shaped and reshaped many times, and the formula has a caloric value of maximum 150 per 100 grams so that the blood sugar level is barely affected upon consuming the fondant.

A dairy beverage comprising milk solids, oil or fat, starch, emulsifier, gellan, cellulose and carrageenan in specific amounts in a closed container is disclosed. The beverage may be foamed by shaking, to provide a pleasant aerated texture/mouthfeel.

An oral controlled-release multiparticulate dosage form comprises a plurality of individually enteric coated particulates containing an L-carnitine that independently disperse in a patient's stomach after oral ingestion and travel through the stomach and past the pyloric sphincter without substantially releasing the L-carnitine in the stomach. The individual particulates contain (a) a solid core containing the L-carnitine, (b) a subcoating containing a cellulosic water soluble polymer over the core, and (c) an enteric coating over the subcoating. The dosage form may be used to treat conditions associated with a reduction of the amount of L-carnitine in the body.

The present invention relates to a novel emulsion structured in an isometric crystalline network of cellulose derivatives where the emulsion comprises Omega-3 fatty acids homogeneously distributed in the same. The emulsion of the invention has been designed to have greater stability, bioavailability and gastro-resistance and may be used in special medical foods, nutritional supplements, sports nutrition, enteral nutrition or child nutrition, amongst others.

The present invention relates to ready-to-drink beverage products. In particular, the invention is concerned with a protein system induced by controlled aggregation of milk proteins which imparts outstanding sensory attributes and improved physical stability of the beverage product, in particular when containing low fat and/or low sugar. A method of producing such beverage and the products obtainable from the method are also part of the present invention.
