20080311192 | Enteric-Coated Glucosinolates And Beta-Thioglucosidases - The present invention relates to a particulate composition comprising enteric-coated glucosinolate and beta-thioglucosidase particles. The present invention further provides a method of converting glucosinolate to isothiocyanate in the small intestine comprising orally administering to a subject an enteric-coated chemoprotectant precursor composition comprising enteric-coated glucosinolate and beta-thioglucosinodase particles. In another aspect, uncoated glucosinolate and beta-thioglucosinodase particles may be provided in an enteric-coated capsule. Preferably, the glucosinolate is glucoraphanin and the beta-thioglucosidase is myrosinase. The enteric coating targets the compound for release in the small intestine where beta-thioglucosinodase enzyme converts glucosinolate to chemoprotectant isothiocyanate. | 12-18-2008 |
20090011093 | Aroma-Producing Compositions for Foods - An improved aroma-producing composition is provided that is shelf-stable and allows controlled release of a desired aroma from the composition, and also food products treated with the aroma-producing composition. The aroma-producing composition is a homogenous one-phase system which includes an aroma-producing material and a fat-containing composition which includes a medium chain fatty acid triglyceride and fat or lipid having a melting point greater than the medium chain fatty acid triglyceride. The aroma-producing composition can be heated to induce and boost aroma release from the aroma-producing composition at an opportune time, such as when a food product treated with the aroma-producing composition is preheated by microwave heating immediately before it is consumed. | 01-08-2009 |
20100307542 | Method of Reducing Surface Oil on Encapsulated Material - A method is provided for removing surface oil form a surface of an encapsulated material without using any type of solvent. The method includes contacting an encapsulated material having a moisture content of about 1 to about 60 weight percent with at least about 5 weight percent of an oil removing material for an amount of time effective for reducing surface oil on the encapsulated material by at least about 80%. | 12-09-2010 |
20100310666 | Delivery of Functional Compounds - Functional ingredients including an esterified component and microencapsulated in an enteric matrix to increase the microencapsulation efficiency and reduce undesired organoleptic properties of the microencapsulated material while providing a desired release rate and ester hydrolysis rate, the process including forming an emulsion in water and titrating the emulsion with a precipitating agent to produce a particulate precipitate. | 12-09-2010 |
20100310726 | Novel Preparation of an Enteric Release System - Hydrophobic liquids are microencapsulated by an enteric matrix in an environment substantially free of organic solvents, the process including forming an emulsion of the enteric material and hydrophobic liquid in water, the emulsion titrated with an acid to form a particulate precipitate of the microencapsulated hydrophobic liquid in an enteric matrix. | 12-09-2010 |
20110143005 | Methods for the Application of Ingredients to the Inside of a Straw - Methods of coating the interior surface of a hollow tubular structure, in particular a drinking device, and more particularly a drinking straw, with an edible composition to impart a desirable modification to a beverage that is drunk through the straw. The edible composition comprises an adhering agent and a powdered ingredient coated to the interior surface. Suitable adhering agents include lipids (e.g., soybean oil, corn oil, canola oil, sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, peanut oil, and mixtures thereof), medium chain triglycerides oils, emulsifiers, and mixtures thereof. Suitable powdered ingredients include edible acids, edible bases, sweeteners, flavorings, vitamins, minerals, colorants, sensate agents, carotenoids, antioxidants, polyphenols, phytonutrients, and mixtures thereof. The adhering agent is applied to the interior surface of the straw by any one of a number of methods followed by incorporating the powdered ingredient into the adhering agent layer. The powdered ingredient adheres or sticks to, and is incorporated into, the adhering agent layer. Once the powdered ingredient layer is added, the coated drinking straw is ready for use with a beverage. | 06-16-2011 |
20110159103 | Novel Preparation of an Enteric Release System - Hydrophobic liquids are microencapsulated by an enteric matrix in an environment substantially free of organic solvents. The process includes forming an emulsion of the enteric material and hydrophobic liquid in water, titrating the emulsion with an acid to form a particulate precipitate and optionally coating the particulate with a combination of enteric material and plasticizer. | 06-30-2011 |
20120273982 | Novel Preparation Of An Enteric Release System - Hydrophobic liquids are microencapsulated by an enteric matrix in an environment substantially free of organic solvents, the process including forming an emulsion of the enteric material and hydrophobic liquid in water, the emulsion titrated with an acid to form a particulate precipitate of the microencapsulated hydrophobic liquid in an enteric matrix. | 11-01-2012 |
20140127378 | Anti-Boil-Over Compositions And Methods For Microwave Oven Cooking Of Dry Pasta - Anti-boil-over compositions and methods are provided that significantly reduce boil-over during microwave oven cooking of pasta relative similar pasta and water mixtures such that oversized containers are not required. Thus, when prepared using limited volume container, the container of cooked pasta appears full. | 05-08-2014 |
20140154327 | Enteric Delivery Of Functional Ingredients Suitable For Hot Comestible Applications - A microencapsulated enteric matrix composition and method for manufacture are provided. The microencapsulated enteric composition includes enteric material, such as sodium caseinate and soy protein, and a functional ingredient contained therein in a core. Further, the composition includes a first coating including zein and the second, outer coating including ethylcellulose. The microencapsulated enteric composition may be suitable for use in hot comestibles. | 06-05-2014 |
20150030646 | Oral Delivery Products Including Three-Dimensional Objects - An edible product and method for making an edible product including a core composition having at least one outer surface and at least one edible, three dimensional object secured to the at least one outer surface, where the object includes a binder material and a deliverable component selected from the group consisting of flavors, colors, sweeteners, actives, sensates, effervescent components, and combinations thereof. Also, a method for delivery of at least one deliverable component including placing such products in the mouth of a user and releasing the deliverable component from the edible, three dimensional object. | 01-29-2015 |
