| 20100068333 | Methods for Enhancing the Palatability of Food Compositions - Methods for enhancing the palatability of food compositions by adding to the compositions a palatability enhancing amount of an extract of an herb or spice of the botanical genus | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100158984 | Encapsulates - An encapsulate comprises an outer shell and an inner core, the inner core comprising an ingredient selected from plant sterol compounds such as phytosterols and/or phytostanols and/or their esters, and at least one, preferably at least two, of the following groups: a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k.
| 06-24-2010 |
| 20100159079 | Encapsulate and Food Containing Same - An encapsulate comprising an outer shell and an inner core formed using sol/gel technology. Preferably the encapsulates are incorporated into foods such as weigh management foods, preferably nutrition bars, ready-to-drink beverages, powdered beverages or soups. In a preferred embodiment, the encapsulate is made using an acid catalyst and releases its contents sufficiently in the human ileum to result in enhanced satiety. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100166921 | COATING - A fat continuous coating which is suitable for coating nutrition bars and other products, especially foods products, which include less saturated fat. The coating includes a lipid base having a phytosterol and/or phytostanol structurant, and up to 28 wt % or less saturated fatty acid moieties. The phytosterol or phytostanol serves to provide sufficient structure to the coating to obviate the need for the higher levels of saturated fats which such ingredients tend ordinarily to contain. The coating will advantageously include numerous other ingredients typically found in coatings, such as cocoa, strawberry powder, yoghurt powder, etc. The lipid base will typically comprise from 20-50 wt % of the coating, especially from 25-40 wt %. The lipid base of the coatings will typically include at least 5 wt % phytosterols and/or phytostanols, especially at least 10 wt % phytosterols and/or phytostanols, more preferably at least 15 wt % phytosterols and/or phytostanols. | 07-01-2010 |

This invention also is directed generally to methods for using such compositions. This invention is further directed generally to processes for making such compositions. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090074827 | COATED PET FOOD COMPOSITION - A composition comprising a physically discrete pet food oral intake composition coated with a physically stable film, the film comprising a component which is a) capable of carrying a beneficial agent to a site in the pet wherein the benefit agent is effective in producing a beneficial effect or b) capable of releasing the benefit agent into the mouth or alimentary canal with the benefit agent traveling to a site in the pet wherein the benefit agent is effective in producing a beneficial effect. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090074840 | Coated Pet Food Composition - A composition comprising a physically discrete pet food oral intake composition coated with a physically stable film, the film comprising a component which is a) capable of carrying a beneficial agent to a site in the pet wherein the benefit agent is effective in producing a beneficial effect or b) capable of releasing the benefit agent into the mouth or alimentary canal with the benefit agent traveling to a site in the pet wherein the benefit agent is effective in producing a beneficial effect. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090324761 | Methods And Compositions for Improving Gastrointestinal Health - Methods for maintaining or improving the gastrointestinal health of an animal by administering a gastrointestinal health maintaining or improving amount of at least one banana musa fruit to the animal susceptible to or suffering from poor gastrointestinal health. In one embodiment, banana is administered to the animal to prevent or treat diarrhea or to improve stool quality. In other embodiments, the banana musa fruit is administered in conjunction with one or more of foods, prebiotics, probiotics, and anti-diarrhea drugs. | 12-31-2009 |
