Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing a monoglyceride hydrate product, which product may be used as an emulsifier in various food and non-food applications. The present invention further relates to the monoglyceride hydrate product obtainable by said method. The invention further relates to a monoglyceride hydrate product, comprising monoglycerides, with saturated fatty acid residues, water and non-hydrogenated monoglycerides and/or diglycerides having unsaturated fatty acid residues.

Abstract: Disclosed are cyclopentene compounds and compositions containing one or more odorless lipophilic compounds cyclopentene compounds. The compositions can be applied to scalp where they stimulate hair follicles resulting in hair growth and visibly improved human hair.

Abstract: A possibility to enhance the action of transglutaminase by helping the formation of peptide bonds with the glutamine present in the wheat flour, directed to a bakery pre-mix composition including pea protein and transglutaminase and a carrier, and a flour formulation including wheat flour, transglutaminase and pea protein. It was found that with the flour formulation a dough could be prepared with an improved process tolerance. The baked products prepared by baking the dough were found to have an improved crumb structure.

Abstract: A substantially non-aqueous, stable, lyophilic dermatological concentrate comprised of: (i) a hydroxy acid, preferably selected from the group consisting of (a) azelaic acid at a concentration of at least about 20% or (b), ascorbic acid, at a concentration of up to about 30%; (ii) glycerin; and (ii) hyaluronan and/or an alginate, and derivatives thereof.

Abstract: Pulse-based bread crumbs, coatings, and pre-dust products having an improved taste, texture and end use properties. The bread crumb, coating, and pre-dust products are produced by heat and moisture treatment at 100% by dry weight with pulse flours, e.g. pea flour, lentil flour, chickpea flour, faba bean flour, navy bean flour, pinto bean flour, black eye bean flour and black bean flour.

Abstract: External compositions containing one or more lipophilic naphthoic acid retinoid compounds are described. The external compositions are applied to skin where they stimulate skin repair and visibly improve skin damage caused by photoaging and acne.

Abstract: Various compositions and methods for treating or preventing damage to hair, especially in over-processed or chemically treated hair, are described.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are extended cheese products, pre-filled cheese extender packages having dry blends used in the process of making extended cheese products, as well as methods of making extended cheese products.

Abstract: Various compositions and methods for treating or preventing damage to hair, especially in over-processed or chemically treated hair, are described.

Abstract: Processes for decreasing expression of a CD274 gene and/or a PD-L1 protein in a subject in need of such expression changes are provided. The processes include administering to the subject a composition including at least 0.5% of an active ingredient by weight. The active ingredient includes cinnamtannin D1 and/or cinnamtannin B1. The processes further include decreasing expression of a CD274 gene and/or a PD-L1 protein in the subject by the step of administering.

Abstract: Processes for treating an autoimmune disease or condition by decreasing expression of a CD274 gene and/or a PD-L1 protein and increasing expression of a PDCD1 gene and/or a PD-1 protein in a subject in need of such expression changes are provided. The processes include administering to the subject a composition including at least 0.5% of cinnamtannin D-1 and/or cinnamtannin B-1. The processes further include decreasing expression of a CD274 gene and/or a PD-L1 protein and increasing expression of a PDCD1 gene and/or a PD-1 protein in the subject by the step of administering at the desired concentration or for the desired time wherein the composition may increase or decrease the relative expression levels of the genes or proteins while simultaneously ameliorating, preventing, or modulating a cardiac event in the subject.

Abstract: A composition containing cinnamon extract is provided to increase lean muscle mass in a subject. Also described is a method of increasing lean muscle mass in a subject through the administration of the cinnamon extract. In some aspects, a daily dose of 10-1,000 mg of the cinnamon extract supplement is administered to the subject for a period of 6 weeks to 6 months.
