The present invention discloses an antifreeze solution for food preservation, which comprises edible alcohol, propylene glycol, glycerin, calcium chloride, sodium chloride, amino acid, Antarctic krill protein hydrolysate with an average molecular weight of 50-100 KDa, surfactant and water, wherein the surfactant is one or more of phospholipid, Tween-20, Tween-60, and Tween-80; each component is food grade, and the mass percentage is expressed as follows: alcohol 15-30%, propylene glycol 10-30%, glycerol 2-15%, calcium chloride 1-10%, sodium chloride 3-10%, amino acid 0.1-0.15%, Antarctic krill protein hydrolysate 0.01-0.3%, surfactant 0.005-0.5%, and the balance is water. The antifreeze solution provided by the present invention can lower the freezing point, improve the heat transfer efficiency, inhibit the crystallization of antifreeze solution during the low temperature stirring process and improve the stability of the antifreeze solution.

The present invention provides a nutritional composition for use in glucose management. The nutritional composition comprises one or more amino acids, or combinations thereof, selected from the group consisting of: hydroxyproline, proline, ornithine and alpha-aminobutyric acid, that can be particularly beneficial for children or adolescents for use in glucose management.

The present disclosure provides products and methods that provide for the stability of functional amino acids in food matrices. In a general embodiment, the products include either a source of beta-glucans or a source of protein low in reducing sugars, in combination with a functional amino acid in a binder having low amounts of, or being substantially free of, reducing sugars. Methods for improving the stability of functional amino acids in food matrices are also provided. The products and methods of the present disclosure provide several advantages including, for example, the reduction or avoidance of degradation and browning of the products during processing and storage.
