Abstract: A phospholipid extract from a marine or aquatic biomass possesses therapeutic properties. The phospholipid extract comprises a variety of phospholipids, fatty acid, metals and a novel flavonoid.

Abstract: This disclosure discloses new krill oil compositions characterized by having high amounts of phospholipids, astaxanthin esters and/or omega-3 contents. The krill oils are obtained from krill meal using supercritical fluid extraction in a two stage process. Stage 1 removes the neutral lipid by extracting with neat supercritical CO2 or CO2 plus approximately 5% of a co-solvent. Stage 2 extracts the actual krill oils by using supercritical CO2 in combination with approximately 20% ethanol. The krill oil materials obtained are compared with commercially available krill oil and found to be more bioeffective in a number of areas such as anti-inflammation, anti-oxidant effects, improving insulin resistances and improving blood lipid profile.

Abstract: The invention provides improved processes for extracting and preparing polar lipids (in particular, desirable phospholipids) from krill and other biological sources. The inventors have discovered processes through which it is possible to extract phospholipids to give high phospholipid content and a reduction of undesired components.

Abstract: Oral capsules have been dismissed as a dosage form for delivery high dosages of krill phospholipids, but by purifying these to high levels it is indeed possible to use this dosage form to deliver, for example, 700 mg or more phospholipids per capsule.
