The present invention relates to an organoleptically improved dietary fiber composition comprising Trigonella foenum-graecum (fenugreek) seeds in the form of flakes with improved palatability, and method(s) of preparing the said composition. More particularly, invention relates to nutrient rich de-bitterised and de-fatted fenugreek dietary fiber and administering the same in a subject to bring satiety, feeling of fullness, appetite suppression, less desire to consume food, which may further lead to reduction or management of weight. The present invention can be used for the development of functional food, dietary plan and as a nutritional supplement. The present invention also relates to methods of managing various conditions such as, but not limited to, management of weight, appetite scores, glucose homeostasis, body mass index and serum insulin levels or any combinations thereof using the said composition.

The present invention relates to a stabilizing agent for reducing the leaching toxicity of heavy metals contained in foods, foodstuffs, Chinese herbs and enhancing food safety and environmental protection and its preparation method. The stabilizing agent is prepared by mixing the following raw materials: a phosphoric acid or phosphate, an acidity regulator and a chloride. The stabilizing agent of the present invention can be added directly to foods, foodstuffs, Chinese herbs during brewing, cooking or seasoning processes, that is, the stabilizing agent can reduce the leaching solubility of heavy metals contained in the foods, foodstuffs, Chinese herbs before entering the human mouth, stomach and intestines of human beings.

The present disclosure relates to methods of enriching root powder products, for example beetroot powder. In particular, the methods relates to increasing the nitrate content and/or reducing the sugar content of the root powder product. The disclosure also relates to root powder products with increased with at least 3% nitrate.

The present invention relates to aqueous compositions comprising cyclodextrins or carbohydrates. The present invention also relates to the use of such compositions in the binding and removal of mycotoxins from foodstuff. The invention also includes compositions that show a broad affinity for mycotoxins.

The present invention relates to an extract obtained by extracting useful components containing equal from an equol-containing fermented soybean hypocotyl, and to a method for producing the same. The present invention makes it possible to efficiently obtain useful components containing equol from the fermented soybean hypocotyl by subjecting an equol-containing fermented soybean hypocotyl to extraction using an ethanol aqueous solution as an extractant. The present invention reduces the content of saponin, which causes an unpleasant taste, by sequentially subjecting the equal-containing fermented soybean hypocotyl to extraction using an ethanol aqueous solution and ethanol, while efficiently extracting equol and glycitein.

Variable-scale, modular, easily manufacturable, energy efficient, reliable, and computer-operated farming superstructure systems (FSS) may be used to produce cannabis for human consumption with minimal water and environmental impact. Methods to method to separate volatiles from cannabis are described. Methods to asexually clone a plurality of cannabis plants are also provided.

Methods of manufacturing products from material comprising oilcake, compositions produced from materials comprising processed oilcake, and systems for processing oilcake are provided herein. The method comprises de-solubilizing protein in a material comprising oilcake to produce a processed material comprising an insoluble protein fraction. The processed material is hydrolyzed to produce a mixture comprising the insoluble protein fraction and a hydrolyzed fraction. The insoluble protein fraction is separated from the hydrolyzed fraction. The insoluble protein fraction is processed into a product.

The present invention relates to aqueous compositions comprising cyclodextrins or carbohydrates. The present invention also relates to the use of such compositions in the binding and removal of mycotoxins from foodstuff. The invention also includes compositions that show a broad affinity for mycotoxins.

The present disclosure provides for improved oilseed extraction methods using sequential extractions with polar solvents and non-polar solvents or extractions with an azeotrope of a polar solvent and a non-polar solvent to produce oilseed meal concentrates having increased protein content and reduced soluble carbohydrate and anti-nutritional compound content.
