Abstract: The present invention concerns a food composition comprising at least one of fiber, beta-carotene, folate, magnesium, zinc, vitamin C, and thiamin, for use in assisting in post-partum weight management.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a nutritional composition, in particular directed to children of 3-6 years, said nutritional composition comprising a protein source, a source of available carbohydrates, a lipid source, at least one probiotic microorganism, and prebiotics, wherein said lipid source comprises DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and/or ARA (arachidonic acid). The nutritional composition improves cognitive performance, in particular memory, learning comprehension, alertness, attention, concentration, processing speed, conceptual thinking, abstract thinking, verbal abilities, language comprehension, psychomotor skills, curiosity, and confident interaction with the environment. Preferably, the composition comprises one, a combination of several or all selected of the group of DHA, ARA, LA, ALA, choline, iron, iodine and folic acid.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cosmetic and/or dermatological topical composition, of particular use for the preventional and/or treatment of sensitive and/or dry skin, comprising an effective amount of at least one particularly probiotic microorganism and/or a fraction or metabolite thereof in combination with an effective amount of at least one polyunsaturated fatty acid and/or polyunsaturated fatty acid ester and/or a salt or derivative thereof in a physiologically-acceptable vehicle.

Abstract: A method for preparing a synthetic lipid composition in which the content and the distribution of the fatty acids are similar to those of human milk fat, containing less than 2% by weight of free fatty acids, in which palmitic acid is predominantly at the 2-position of the triacylglycerols and the arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acids are distributed between the 1-, 2- and 3-position and in particular predominantly at the 2-position of the triacylglycerols. The method includes the steps of interesterifying a mixture of specific lipids with a mixture of free fatty acids, followed by removal of excess free fatty acids by partial deacidification utilizing steam distillation under vacuum and then by controlled neutralization of the partially deacidified fat.

Abstract: A milk having a formulated lipid composition wherein the lipids are lipids of lactic and vegetable origin which are, by weight, (i) from 30% to 40% milk fat lipids, (ii) from 30% to 40% of a first oil substance which have an oleic acid content in an amount greater than 60%, and (iii) from 1% to 30% of oil substance which provide n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids and so that triglyceride fatty acids of the lipids comprise 20% to 40% saturated fatty acids of lactic origin, 35% to 60% monounsaturated fatty acids, and 15% to 30% of n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated in a ratio of n-6 to n-3 fatty acids of from 5:1 to 10:1.
