A nutritional ingredient for use in nutritional powders is provided. The nutritional ingredient is an agglomerated calcium source, which includes particles of a calcium source adhered together with a lecithin binder. The nutritional ingredient functions as both a flow agent and an antifoam agent when incorporated into nutritional powders, such as powdered infant formulas.

Supplemental food formulations are described herein that can contain various nutrients, including at least four of the following: amino acid blend, fulvic-humic acids, multi-minerals, glycerin, phosphatidylinositol, sesquiterpene alkaloids, terpenes, medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), coconut oil, whole plant matter, plant seeds, mushrooms, seaweeds, kelp, and flavoring agents.

A method for preparing a clear plant extract emulsion is provided. Sugar is mixed with water. A bitter blocker is added to the mixed sugar and water to form an aqueous phase. The aqueous phase is combined with an oil phase including a plant extract and sucrose ester. The combined aqueous phase and oil phase are mixed under heat. A two-part homogenization of the combined aqueous and oil phases is performed resulting in a clear emulsion concentrate with a low turbidity.

The present invention relates to creamers for food products such as coffee and tea. In particular, the invention relates to a liquid creamer comprising casein based protein, phospholipids, gellan gum, bicarbonate, citrate and oil. Further aspects of the invention are a beverage comprising a liquid creamer and a process for preparing a liquid creamer.

Supplemental food formulations are described herein that can contain various nutrients, including at least four of the following: amino acid blend, fulvic-humic acids, multi-minerals, glycerin, phosphatidylinositol, sesquiterpene alkaloids, terpenes, medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), coconut oil, whole plant matter, plant seeds, mushrooms, seaweeds, kelp, and flavoring agents.

A composition that includes methylphosphinic acid or a salt thereof, and optionally methylphosphonic acid or a salt thereof, and an ingredient acceptable for consumption by a mammal is provided herein. Also provided is a method for reducing aging in a mammal that involves providing or administering methylphosphinic acid or a salt thereof, and optionally, methylphosphonic acid or a salt thereof, to the mammal in need thereof for consumption. A composition for use in such a method and an article useful for such a method include those in the form of a food product such as a prepackaged or processed food or meal, a beverage, a nutritional supplement, or a nutraceutical.

The present invention relates to a method for preventing oxidation of polyphenols, materials thereof, and uses thereof, and more particularly, it relates to a method of preventing oxidation of catechins by treating catechins with aptamers, aptamers having such activity with preventing oxidation of catechins, and it relates to its application to various fields such as cosmetics, foods, and pharmaceuticals using the aptamer. The aptamer of the present invention has an antioxidant effect of catechins, so the aptamer of the present invention can be applied in various fields such as cosmetics, foods, and pharmaceuticals that require inhibition of oxidation of catechins.

Disclosed is an oleic acid derivative including a hydrophobic part C17H33 linked to a particular polar head part “A”, especially for use as a medicament, for instance, for the treatment of a disorder caused by the GPR120 receptor and/or the CD36 receptor, including administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of the oleic acid derivative or of the pharmaceutical composition. Also disclosed is the use of the oleic acid derivative as a food composition.

The present compositions and methods relate to thermostabilization of phytase with phosphate and increasing the recovery of phytase during the production of heat-treated food or animal feed pellets that contain phytase.

An object of the present invention is to provide an oil and fat composition that contains unsaturated fatty acid-containing oil and fat and can prepare nursery formulated milk having a satisfactory taste. The following result is found to complete the present invention, that is, in an oil and fat composition in which an aqueous phase is dispersed in an oil phase containing unsaturated fatty acid-containing oil and fat and lecithins, oxidation of unsaturated fatty acid is suppressed, wherein the aqueous phase has one or more selected from ascorbic acid and salts thereof dissolved therein, has pH adjusted to 3.6 or more, and has a predetermined solid content.
