The present invention provides nutritional supplements comprising alginate, in combination with pectin, which will form hydrogels in the stomach when exposed to the low pH of the gastric juice. The formation of a hydrogel will lead to delayed release of sugars and other active ingredients in the stomach. The nutritional supplements can comprise high concentrations of sugars and complex carbohydrates without causing unwanted gastrointestinal symptoms.

The present invention concerns the field of processed cheese compositions, and, more particularly, relates to reduced salt processed cheese compositions. The present invention derives from the surprising finding that potassium lactate can be used in the manufacture of processed cheese compositions with reduced sodium content, without detrimental consequences on the taste of the final product. A processed cheese composition according to the invention imparts to the final product an improved flavour perception, as well as strengthening salty, savoury and cheesy taste. An additional surprising finding of the method of the invention is that the use of potassium lactate according to the invention has beneficial consequences on the safety and shelf life of the final product. The use of potassium lactate, in particular potassium lactate in the form of a fermentation product in accordance with the invention, also obviates the need to incorporate artificial flavorings and flavor enhancers, which results in a product with an improved label.

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.
