The present invention relates to the use of a combination of a yeast of the species Saccharomyces cerevisiae, resveratrol and a curcuma extract, for use in the management of a subject who has endometriosis or is susceptible to endometriosis. The combination according to the invention may be used in the treatment or prevention of endometriotic lesions in a subject who has endometriosis or is susceptible to endometriosis, for example to slow the development or to reduce the endometriotic lesions. It may also be used in the treatment or prevention of one or more symptoms or disorders associated with endometriosis. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical or nutraceutical compositions and kits based on said combination.

Powder composition comprising alkali metal bicarbonate particles and an amino acid as additive. A process for preparing alkali metal bicarbonate particles by spray-drying of an aqueous solution comprising 1-10% by weight of alkali metal bicarbonate and an amino acid as additive. A process for preparing alkali metal bicarbonate particles by co-grinding the alkali metal bicarbonate in the presence of an amino acid as additive.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition, a food composition, and a food additive for the prevention and treatment or improvement of muscle loss, muscle weakness, and muscle atrophy, which contain Enterococcus faecalis, particularly Enterococcus faecalis EF-2001 among others, a culture solution thereof, or a killed body thereof as an active ingredient. Killed Enterococcus faecalis EF-2001 of the present invention exhibits a remarkable treatment effect for muscle loss, muscle weakness, and muscle atrophy by inhibiting the damage to muscle cells induced by oxidative stress, and thus killed lactic acid bacterium Enterococcus faecalis EF-2001 of the present invention or a culture solution thereof can be usefully used as an active ingredient in a pharmaceutical composition, a food composition, and a food additive for prevention of muscle atrophy and sarcopenia.

The disclosure relates to a preparation method of eel polypeptide flavor extract, the eel polypeptide flavor extract, and the eel sauce. The preparation method of the eel polypeptide flavor extract includes the following steps: obtained by using eel processing by-products, eel cutting off the main meat tissues, successively performing microbial fermentation, Maillard reaction and extraction and separation processes. The eel polypeptide extract obtained above is used to making a condiment eel sauce. The eel sauce is nutritious and convenient, it can be used directly for table eating or served as cooking condiments to enhance the aroma and taste of dishes and increase the attractiveness of dishes. The disclosure realizes a new technological research on the preparation of polypeptide and flavor products, opens up a scientific utilization and processing method of seafood processing by-products, and provides a new way for making full use of such resources.

A water-soluble prolamin composition, such as a zein composition, and methods for producing the same. A method for tagging items comprising applying a plurality of noncoding DNA tags in a prolamin composition, such as a zein composition, wherein the selection of the particular taggants corresponds with a binary or nonbinary code sequence containing information about the tagged items.

The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for enhancing oil recovery and protein recovery from a product from a corn fermentation process stream, such as corn syrup. Compositions generally include a product from a corn fermentation stream and an additive including at least one alkylphenol ethoxylate formaldehyde resin, at least one sodium alkyl sulfate, or a blend of at least one anionic surfactant with at least one non-ionic surfactant in a weight ratio of the at least one nonionic surfactant to the at least one anionic surfactant in a range from about 1:20 to about 20:1. Methods combine such an additive with the product from a corn fermentation stream to produce a mixture which is preferably heated and centrifuged to separate oil and protein from the product.

The current invention is directed to a treatment of a proliferative disease comprising administering to a subject in need of such treatment, a composition comprising epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), curcumin, glucosinolates and, optionally Daikon radish sprout, alone or in combination with providing a ketogenic diet or a modified ketogenic diet to the subject. The invention also provides a composition comprising medium chain triglycerides, Epigallocatechin-3-gallate, curcumin, compositions comprising glucosinolates and/or derivatives thereof, such as glucoraphanin and its breakdown product sulforaphane, (SFN) (which are found at high levels in broccoli sprouts or sprouts of other cruciferous vegetables), and, optionally Daikon radish sprout.

Disclosed embodiments provide nutritional compositions and methods of enhancing maturation of an infant's brain. The methods include the step of administering to the infant a nutritional composition comprising a protein with a degree of hydrolysis of 10% to 75% in combination with at least one of a monoglyceride, a free fatty acid, a salt of a free fatty acid, a phospholipid, and cholesterol.

The present invention primarily relates to a mixture comprising or consisting of components a), b) and c), and optionally component d), wherein component a) is at least one rare sugar, component b) is at least one taste modifying compound, component c) is at least one natural sweet tasting compound, and component d) is at least one natural caloric sweet-tasting carbohydrate and/or at least one non-caloric sweet tasting sugar alcohol.
