Abstract: Disclosed are processes for the production of composition comprising one or more fructose amino acids, said process comprising the steps of: (a) providing plant material derived from a botanical source selected from plants of the families Solanaceae, Compositae, (Asteraceae), Guttiferae, Umbelliferae, Papaveraceae, Vitidaceae or Acanthaceae; (b) extracting one or more fructose amino acid(s) from said plant material; and optionally (c) detecting the presence and/or measuring the amount of said fructose amino acid(s) in the extract of step (b).

Abstract: Disclosed are processes for the production of composition comprising one or more fructose amino acids, and related. Such a process may comprise the steps of: (a) providing plant material derived from a botanical source selected from plants of the families Solanaceae, Compositae, Asteraceae, Guttiferae, Umbelliferae, Papaveraceae, Vitidaceae or Acanthaceae; (b) extracting one or more fructose amino acid(s) from said plant material; and optionally, (c) detecting the presence and/or measuring the amount of said fructose amino acid(s) in the extract of step (b).

Abstract: Described are processes for the production of a composition comprising (2R, 3R, 4R, 5S)-3, 4, 5-trihydroxypiperidine-2-carboxylic acid (idoBR1), said process comprising the steps of: a) providing plant material from a botanical source comprising plant of the family Cucurbitaceae; b) fractionating said plant material to produce an extract enriched in idoBR1 c) assaying said extract for: i) inhibitory activity against sialidase or TNF-alpha or ii) IL-10 stimulatory activity; and d) formulating said assayed extract with a cosmetically-, nutraceutically- or pharmaceutically-acceptable excipient or carrier to produce a cosmetic, nutraceutical or pharmaceutical composition.

Abstract: Compositions comprising isolated ido-BR1 are described for use in therapy or prophylaxis, including the treatment of inflammatory diseases (for example as anti-inflammatory drugs) and to reduce inflammation. Also described are methods for monitoring the quality of a Cucurbitaceae extract, to processes for producing a Cucurbitaceae extract as well as to Cucurbitaceae extracts obtainable by such processes.

Abstract: Processes for the production of a composition comprising material derived from seeds of plants of the genus Oryza, the process comprise the steps of: (a) providing material derived from seeds of the genus Oryza; and (b) determining the presence or absence and/or measuring the amount of at least one iminosugar in the material of step (a). Also described is the use of material derived from seeds of plants of the genus Oryza, which material comprises at least one iminosugar, as a food or feed supplement for lowering the glycaemic index (GI) value of said food or feed.
