The objective of the present invention is to provide compositions containing vegetable oils and an anti-oxidant system to prevent oxidation of the triglycerides in the vegetable oil in food products, in particular in products which are often stored for a long time. The antioxidant system should not give an undesired colour, and neither an undesired taste, to a food composition. Additionally, it should be a natural compound and/or common food ingredient, and fitting to the food composition with regard to taste and colour. This has been achieved by providing a food composition containing vegetable oil and apple cider vinegar, wherein the weight ratio of citric acid and malic acid to total organic acids in the apple cider vinegar is more than 2%.

The invention provides compositions for producing hydrogen rich water, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and other products. In one embodiment, the invention provides a composition, e.g., a tablet, including magnesium metal, at least one water-soluble acid, and a binding agent. The magnesium metal and at least one water-soluble acid may be present in amounts sufficient to maintain a pH of less than 7, e.g., at a specific time period after reaction, and a concentration of at least 0.5 mM H.sub.2 after reaction in 50 mL water in a container e.g., a sealed or an open container, e.g., at least 0.5 mM H.sub.2 after reaction in 100 mL water or at least 0.5 mM H.sub.2 after reaction in 500 mL water. The composition may also include a lubricant.

The compositions of this disclosure provide broad-spectrum nutrient supplementation to support the health of multiple organ and tissue systems in which mitochondrial function plays a fundamental role. In particular, the formulations promote neuroprotective, cardioprotective, immunosupportive, and anti-aging benefits. Also provided herein are novel, neuroprotective preparations containing a combination of broad- or full-spectrum hemp oil extract combined with niacinamide, a non-flushing form of vitamin B3, and methods of use are described allowing for safe, effective, and convenient use of a neuroprotective, antioxidant preparation for general and clinical use.

The present invention is direct to an co-fruit pulp based edible composition in winch an agricultural fruit byproduct base material, in conjunction with a hydrocolloid, is treated with pressure and/or heat to form an edible composition that is dimen-mortally stable, ambient stable for at least 9 months, has a moisture content greater than 50 wt. %, has a pH less than 4.5, has a water activity greater than 0.5, is commercially sterile, is free of artificial flavors and/or artificial colors, has a solids content greater than 10 wt. %, and does not exhibit syneresis or exhibits syneresis. Alternatively, the base material contains an edible fruit and/or vegetable and/or nut byproduct alone or in combination with the co-fruit pulp. Also provided is a method for preparation of the edible composition.

A beverage product comprising a beverage in a sealed container is provided. The beverage comprises, in water, a combination of buffering components selected from (a) citric acid and trisodium citrate, (b) tartaric acid and disodium tartrate, or (c) malic acid and disodium malate, and glucose and sodium chloride, wherein the beverage has a pH of lower than 4.0. A method and an apparatus suited for producing such a beverage product are also provided.
