  • Publication number: 20260068917
    Abstract: A method for producing a substitute food product, such as a dairy product (such as cheese or yoghurt), a substitute egg product, a meat-replacement product or a seafood replacement product, using an enzyme, such as a lactase. The enzyme may be at least partially denatured or may be present in an amount of 3 g/100 g protein. The substitute food product can also be a substitute meat product or substitute seafood product.

  • Publication number: 20080075742
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition representing a novel immunomodulating principle comprising bacterial endotoxin, fetal hemoglobin or more particularly a heme-free derivative or the ?-chain thereof, and optionally, components which are present in the fetal liver in addition to HbF. The composition is delivered to humans in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and/or diluent. In accordance with the present invention it was surprisingly found that endotoxin and fetal hemoglobin partial structures display a pronounced synergistic biomedical activity. The biomedical effect of fetal hemoglobin and its partial structures is surprisingly not based on a classical hemoglobin function as an oxygen transporter but related to a modulation of endotoxin-mediated bioactivity. This biomedical activity is surprisingly also observed after oral application of the composition.
