| 20120134973 | NOVEL USE OF PROBIOTICS - The present invention relates to use of a probiotic to normalize abnormal inflammation markers. The present invention also relates to use of a probiotic for preventing and/or treating low-grade inflammation. Further, the present invention relates to use of a probiotic for preventing and/or treating disorders and/or diseases relating to low-grade inflammation. | 05-31-2012 |
| 20120034367 | LACTOSE-FREE MILK PRODUCT AND PROCESSES FOR PRODUCING THE SAME - The invention relates to processes for the separation of milk components by membrane-based processes. The invention also provides processes for producing lactose-free milk products from fractioned milk components, and lactose-free milk products that are prepared from fractionated milk components. | 02-09-2012 |
| 20110059220 | LACTOSE-FREE MILK PRODUCT AND PROCESSES FOR PRODUCING THE SAME - The invention relates to processes for the separation of milk components by membrane-based processes. The invention also provides processes for producing lactose-free milk products from fractioned milk components, and lactose-free milk products that are prepared from fractionated milk components. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110020303 | NOVEL USE OF PROBIOTICS - The invention relates to the use of probiotics in the manufacture of a composition for enhancing a metabolic profile in a subject. The probiotics are capable of preventing and treating diseases or disorders associated with an abnormal metabolic profile, especially a lipid profile by normalizing the profile. The probiotics are particularly effective in down-regulating levels of lysophosphatiydylcholines (LysoPCs) and ceramides. | 01-27-2011 |
| 20100285152 | COMPOSITION FOR IMPROVING LIVER METABOLISM AND DIAGNOSTIC METHOD - There is a need to develop a treatment for metabolic syndrome, which is directed to maintaining healthy liver metabolism and not indirectly through weight loss. The present invention provides a composition comprising whey protein for supporting and improving liver metabolism, especially in connection with fatty liver. The composition can further comprise Ca and health improving components such as probiotics and prebiotics. The composition can be in the form of food, health food, food supplement or drugs. Furthermore, due to the complexity of choice of a valid biomarker and sample matrix, there is a special need to find out specific biomarkers for fatty liver and metabolic syndrome. This invention also relates to a diagnostic method for determining fatty liver on the basis of metabolomic profiling. Statistical modelling methods are used on the metabolomic profiles to identify the biomarkers. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20100196524 | NOVEL PEPTIDES AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING THEM - The present invention relates to the fields of life sciences and food, feed or pharmaceutical industry. Specifically, the invention relates to novel peptides, pilus structures, polynucleotides as well as vectors, host cells, products and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the polynucleotides, peptides or pilus structures. The invention also relates to gene clusters and antibodies. Furthermore, the present invention relates to methods for producing the peptides or pilus structures or producing the products comprising the peptides or pilus structures. Furthermore, the present invention relates to treatments as well as uses and methods for screening bacterial strains, for reducing or inhibiting the adhesion of pathogenic bacteria, promoting the adhesion of bacterial cells to the mucus and for modifying immune response in a subject. Still, the present invention relates to methods for detecting probiotic bacterial strains or pathogen strains. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100055289 | LOW-LACTOSE AND LACTOSE-FREE MILK PRODUCT AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF - The invention relates to a process for separating milk components, wherein proteins, sugars and minerals are separated into different fractions. The lactose of milk is first hydrolyzed completely or partially, after which proteins, minerals and sugars are separated into fractions in a phased nanofiltration. The obtained fractions may also be further processed by chromatography, membrane techniques, and/or evaporation to further improve the separation of said components. The invention also relates to a low-lactose or lactose-free milk composed of these fractions. By means of the invention, calcium and protein losses can be minimized. Also, the energy content of the product can be reduced. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100055286 | LOW-LACTOSE AND LACTOSE-FREE MILK PRODUCT AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF - The invention relates to a low-lactose and a lactose-free milk product and to a process for the production thereof. The lactose in the milk raw material is hydrolyzed, proteins, minerals and sugars are separated into different fractions by the membrane technique, and a low-lactose or a lactose-free milk product is composed from the fractions. The invention provides a milk product, the water therein originating from the original milk raw material. In addition, useful by-products are produced in the process. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20090111758 | USE OF THERAPEUTICALLY USEFUL PEPTIDES - The invention relates to preventing and treating endothelial dysfunction by using biologically active peptides and products containing them. In particular, the tripeptides Ile-Pro-Pro (IPP), Val-Pro-Pro (VPP) or mixtures, concentrates or other products containing them are used. A specific aspect of the present invention is to enhance the elasticity of blood vessels by using said biologically active peptides. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20080268100 | Low-Energy, Non-Fat Milk Beverage of High Calcium Content, and Method - The invention relates to a low-energy, non-fat milk beverage of a high calcium content, the beverage containing a low-energy milk base which consists of non-fat milk, a whey protein solution or a combination thereof and from which carbohydrates have been removed either entirely or partly, and which is rich in calcium, and to a method for preparing the same. | 10-30-2008 |
