  • Patent number: 11649278
    Abstract: Compositions and methods reduce symptoms of human allergy to cats. The effectiveness of a molecule which specifically binds to Feline domesticus allergen number 1 (Fel D1) is enhanced by prolonging the time the immunoglobulin stays within the mouth of a cat to whom the anti-Fel D1 molecule is administered in a pet food. The compositions and methods use a powder that is a dried hydrogel encapsulating the anti-Fel D1 molecule, and the hydrogel is based on gelatin, collagen peptides, or gelatin and collagen peptides; and carrageenan. The methods of making the powder provide a high encapsulation efficacy, sustained release of the anti-Fel D1 molecule in the cat's mouth, and oral adhesion of the anti-Fel D1 molecule in the cat's mouth.

  • Patent number: 11434062
    Abstract: A liquid dispensing apparatus, may include a first container configured to hold a first liquid. The first container can have an opening in an end of the first container. The liquid dispensing apparatus may further comprise a frustoconical-shaped container inside and attached to the first container. The frustoconical-shaped container is configured to hold a second liquid. A frustum of the frustoconical-shaped container has an opening. The frustum of the frustoconical-shaped container is proximate to the end of the first container and the opening in the frustoconical-shaped container may have a smaller cross-sectional area than the opening in the first container. The frustoconical-shaped container separates the first liquid from the second liquid.
