Abstract: The present invention describes compounds produced from a creatine molecule and a fatty acid molecule. The compounds being in the form of creatine-fatty compounds bound by an amide linkage, or mixtures thereof produced by reacting creatine or derivatives thereof with an appropriate fatty acid in the presence of dichloromethane and a pyridine catalyst, previously reacted with a thionyl halide. The administration of such molecules provides supplemental creatine with enhanced bioavailability and the additional benefits conferred by the specific fatty acid.

Abstract: The present invention describes compounds produced from an amino acid molecule and a fatty acid molecule. The compounds being in the form of amino-fatty acid compounds being bound by an anhydride linkage, or mixtures thereof made by reacting amino acids or derivatives thereof with an appropriate fatty acid previously reacted with a thionyl halide. The administration of such molecules provides supplemental amino acids with enhanced bioavailability and the additional benefits conferred by the specific fatty acid.

Abstract: The invention relates to plant seeds that contain an oil having an oleic acid content of more than 40 wt % and a stearic acid content of more than 12 wt % based on the total fatty acid content of said oil, and wherein a maximum of 10 wt % of the fatty acid groups in the sn-2 position of the TAG molecules constituting the oil are saturated fatty acid groups. The invention also relates to plants that can be grown from the seeds, oil that can be extracted from the seeds, and to methods for obtaining the seeds, plants and oil.

Abstract: A lipid composition includes triacylglycerols that include unsaturated fatty acids such as alpha linolenic acid and antioxidant moeities such as pyruvic acid.

Abstract: A method for concentrating trans-xanthophyll esters from marigold oleoresin, which includes blending the oleoresin with a solvent and a co-solvent of lower alkanols and recovering a precipitate enriched with trans-xanthophyll esters at a temperature of above 22° C. The recovery of the trans-xanthophyll esters is greater when using the alkanol blend than when using only a lower alkanol from the said blend. The said process is most useful using a lower-grade, commercially available oleoresin, thereby helping small producers, who do not have access to higher-grade oleoresin made through backward integration to marigold cultivation and harvest.

Abstract: The invention relates to trans carotenoid salt compounds, methods for making them, methods for solubilizing them and uses thereof. These compounds are useful in improving diffusivity of oxygen between red blood cells and body tissues in mammals including humans.

Abstract: An anti-tumor substance may be produced from a tumor cell-derived material by Staphylococcus. The anti-tumor substance may include a chemical compound having the formula: Staphylococcus may preferably be Staphylococcus lentus. Further, the tumor cell-derived material may preferably be an Ehrlich tumor cell-derived material.

Abstract: Described are mixtures of at least four of the alkadienamides defined according to the structure: wherein R represents C1-C2 n-alkyl; R1 is 2-methyl-1-propyl and R2 is hydrogen, or R1 and R2 taken together is a moiety having the formula wherein n is 4 or 5, or compositions containing substantial concentrations of such mixtures, prepared according to novel processes: (a) extraction of a ground substantially dried fruit of one of the Piper species, Piper longum Linn or Piper peepuloides; (b) natural product-forming synthesis; or (c) synthetic product-forming synthesis. Also described are uses of the thus-formed products for augmenting, enhancing or imparting an aroma, taste, chemesthetic effect and/or antibacterial effect in or to a consumable material and/or in the oral cavity and/or on the mammalian epidermis.

Abstract: This invention relates to novel phenylbenzamides of the formula (I) in which R1 represents trifluoromethyl, chlorine, bromine or iodine and R2 represents hydrogen, methyl or ethyl, to a process for preparing these substances and their use for controlling unwanted microorganisms, and to novel intermediates and their preparation.

Abstract: A solvent extraction free, caustic refining free, process for producing refined soybean oil from soybeans is described in which soybeans, after cleaning, cracking and dehulling, are crushed in less than 60 seconds while heating the soybeans to a frictionally generated temperature of from about 300° F. to about 370° F. Free fatty acids are then removed through physical refining, instead of previously employed caustic refining, since the low level of nonhydratable phospholipids does not create undesirable flavors during the physical refining process. The resultant oil exhibits a significantly greater frylife that non-hydrogenated soybean oil produced by solvent extraction and caustic refining.
