Provided is a composition for reducing the fat content of fat-producing cells and applications thereof. The composition includes plant extracts such as a blueberry extract and a black tea extract.

A composition comprising a grape seed extract and a black tea extract. The composition can increase testosterone secretion more effectively than a single component, and can be used for preparing pharmaceutical compositions, foods, health foods, dietary supplements or drinks used for promoting testosterone secretion.

Aspects described herein relate to improved beverage compositions with lipophilic active agents and related methods. More particularly, aspects described herein relate to stable ready-to-drink beverage compositions comprising lipophilic active agents, methods of making such compositions, and methods of use.

The present invention relates to a food grade powder comprising a dried hydrogel co-gel comprising a first biopolymer capable of forming a thermoreversible elastic gel upon cooling to 25 C. or above and a second biopolymer capable of forming a glassy matrix upon drying. The food grade powder may provide controlled release of aroma, the aroma being encapsulated in the hydrogel co-gel. Further aspects of the invention are a food product comprising the food grade powder, a method of making a food grade powder providing controlled release of an aroma and the use of a hydrogel co-gel to control the release of an aroma.

A brewed beverage product is provided that, in some embodiments, may comprise an oxygen permeable container containing a frozen deoxygenated brewed beverage, the frozen deoxygenated brewed beverage including a coffee or tea based beverage or concentrate having been its dissolved oxygen content reduced to less than 2.0 parts per million (ppm) in order to reduce oxidation of coffee or tea-based flavor compounds in the degassed coffee or tea based beverage or concentrate. The frozen deoxygenated brewed beverage may further have an exterior surface formed from a frozen deoxygenated liquid so as to be substantially void-free in order to limit the ingress of oxygen into the frozen deoxygenated brewed beverage.

An aspect of the present disclosure relates to a composition for improving respiratory health exposed to particulate matter, which contains a green tea extract, a green tea polysaccharide and a green tea flavonol as active ingredients. The composition provided in an aspect of the present disclosure can improve respiratory health damaged by exposure to particulate matter by enhancing the effect of preventing adsorption of particulate matter to bronchial epithelial cells and activating the cilia of bronchial epithelial cells. The composition provided in an aspect of the present disclosure may decrease blood heavy metal level.

This disclosure provides novel compositions comprising a pectin, a first xanthan gum, and optionally a second xanthan gum. These compositions are useful for improving mouthfeel properties of non-nutritive sweeteners, such as steviol glycosides and blends thereof, in food and beverages containing the same.

Provided is a beverage composition, including: non-polymer catechins; and caffeine, the beverage composition satisfying the following requirements (A), (B), and (C): (A) a mass ratio of caffeine/non-polymer catechins is 0.180 or less; (B) particles contained in the beverage composition have an average particle size of 3 m or less; and (C) a turbidity is 30 NTU or more.

Cold-brewed compositions and methods for preparing them are disclosed that comprise the general steps of: (a) adding together ingredients comprising unheated aqueous liquid, a variety of brewing ingredients, and emulsion stabilizers comprising polysaccharides to obtain various aqueous mixtures; (b) grinding brewing ingredients amidst the obtained aqueous mixtures for a period of 30 seconds to three minutes to obtain various dispersions of finely ground brewing particles; and (c) removing brewing particles large enough to be detected by the tongue or mouth to obtain a variety of novel cold-brewed compositions that possess stabilized emulsions.

Provided is a beverage composition, including: non-polymer catechins; and caffeine, the beverage composition satisfying the following requirements (A), (B), and (C): (A) a mass ratio of caffeine/non-polymer catechins is 0.180 or less; (B) particles contained in the beverage composition have an average particle size of 3 m or less; and (C) a turbidity is 30 NTU or more.
