Abstract: The invention pertains to a water dispersible, preferably a powder composition of water extractible bioactive components of exclusively fruit or vegetable or plant origin. These components are obtainable by: a) subjecting a selected fruit or vegetable or plant material to homogenisation in weak alkaline conditions and at moderate temperature; b) separating the liquid extract from the homogenised mass and subsequently bringing it to neutrality; and c) eventually concentrating or drying, preferably by freeze drying, the neutralized liquid extract. The composition can be used as primary composition in the preparation of a food product for oral administration, a food supplement, a pet food product, a pet food supplement, a cosmetic preparation or a pharmaceutical preparation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method to extract long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids from sources using emulsifiers dispersed in oil as carrier and to the oils obtainable from such a method. It also relates to the use of emulsifier in oil for improving the extraction of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in the form of phospholipids and, in a further aspect, to an oil composition comprising long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in an amount up to 4% and phospholipids in an amount up to 15% and at least one emulsifier.

Abstract: The present invention concerns an oil-in-water emulsion wherein the oil droplets of a diameter in the range of 5 nm to hundreds of micrometers exhibit a nano-sized self-assembled structurization with hydrophilic domains having a diameter size in the range of 0.5 to 200 nm, due to the presence of a lipophilic additive and the oil-in-water emulsion contains an active element being present in the range comprised between 0.00001 and 79% based on the total composition.

Abstract: A stable oil containing LC-PUFAs in the form of triacylglycerols, in particular arachidonic acid (ARA), dihomogammalinolenic acid (DHGLA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) or eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), may be prepared by direct pressing of one or more biomasses obtained from the culture of a microorganism, especially of a fungus or of a microalga containing the acids ARA, DHGLA, DHA or EPA leading to a first press oil and by bringing a carrier oil entering into the composition of a foodstuff, a cosmetic or pharmaceutical product, into contact with the biomass cake, followed by pressing leading to a second press oil, and then by combining the pressed oils and refining the mixture under controlled conditions.

Abstract: A stabilized lipid composition of randomly interesterified triacylglycerols (TAGs) that includes, by weight of fatty acid components, long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) having at least 20 carbon atoms and a degree of unsaturation of at least 4 and being present in a nutritionally beneficial amount but less than 5% by weight; and medium-chain saturated fatty acids (MC-SFAs) having six to fourteen carbon atoms and being present to promote absorption of the LC-PUFAs. The LC-PUFAs are mono-LC-PUFAs. Also, a nutritional product or infant food product that contains the lipid composition as a portion of the lipids therein, and methods to make such compositions and products.

Abstract: A process for refining fatty substances in order to selectively and quantitatively separate therefrom the free fatty acids. The process combines the extraction with an alcohol or a polyol and a neutralization is conducted with an alkali at a controlled pH of 9 to 11.

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.
