Abstract: The present invention relates to a water insoluble helychrisum extract, a process for preparing the same and its use for preparing pharmaceutical compositions for oral and/or topical administration. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the pharmaceutical compositions including said extract.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, dietetic and nutritional compositions containing: a) glucomannan, b) Opuntia ficus indica, c) microcrystalline cellulose present a high gastrointestinal swelling index, which induces an immediate feeling of fullness, release of cholecystokinins and slowing of gastric voiding that prolongs the feeling of fullness. Associating the complex of three vegetable fibers with a mixture of freeze-dried mucilages increases its gastrointestinal swelling properties.

Abstract: Process for the preparation of tobacco leaves with a standardized nicotine content and/or improved combustibility, for use in the manufacture of smoking products such as cigarettes, cigars and shags. The method includes drying and curing of tobacco leaves (Nicotiana tabacum), extraction of the dried leaves with a mixture of organic solvent and water, re-drying of the extracted leaves to a controlled moisture value, and finally, elimination of the ribs. The leaves thus obtained are suitably mixed with excipients and flavourings, and shredded to make cigarettes, cigars, etc . . .

Abstract: A procedure for the production of tablets and capsules of natural substances of vegetable origin, in which dry extracts and micronized powders of one or more medicinal herbs are mixed in appropriate proportions. The mixture is then subjected to granulation by means of steam at atmospheric pressure, dry air is introduced for the elimination of the steam and to start the drying process, through which the granules produced by the steam are consolidated, before they are put into the machine that will make the tablets and capsules, without the use of excipient or adjuvant substances.

Abstract: The invention concerns a highly concentrated mineralised natural complex, characterised by at least one main mineral element quantified with nutritional and/or dietetic integrator properties and by other mineral elements obtained in the complex from the mineralization of vegetal and/or animal products. Moreover, it concerns the method for its production consisting in using vegetal and/or animal organic substances, having a high content of oligominerals, in carrying out their fragmentation, their mixing and the mineralization until the inorganic part is completely separated from the organic part, and then in transforming the aforesaid inorganic part in forms of easy commercialization.
