  • Publication number: 20120210468
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a novel microalgae-based method, called Microalgae Genomics Technology™ (MaGT), which can be used to generate and improve oil/fatty acid production in microalgae, and revealed some examples of its potential applications. Specifically, this method utilizes microalgae genomics technology to manipulate the intrinsic oil/fatty acid metabolic pathways in the genomes of microalgae and therefore induce the algae to produce novel oils/fatty acids or increase the concentration of existing oils/fatty acids with a variety of commercial applications.

  • Publication number: 20120202292
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the application of genomics technology to generate nutritional compounds in algae, such as microalgae. The present invention discloses a novel method to modify algae to produce a variety of nutritional compounds. Specifically, this method utilizes microalgae genomics technology to manipulate the existing metabolic pathways in the genomes of microalgae and therefore induce the algae to modify secondary metabolic pathways to increase the level of existing nutritional compounds or produce novel nutritional compounds with a variety of commercial applications for improving human and animal nutrition and health.

  • Publication number: 20120201914
    Abstract: The invention relates to method and composition to improve the oral health of companion animals targeting the oral health of the animals and directed towards reducing and preventing the buildup of plaque and calculus, leading to periodontal (i.e. gum) disease that contributes to systemic infections that can affect the heart, kidneys, and other tissues. The preparation uses the Lo Han Kuo fruit extract and N-3 fatty acids as bioactive ingredients combined to function as antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agents delivered to the oral cavity of the animals.

  • Publication number: 20030170365
    Abstract: Fruit-based natural dietary sweetener blend compositions containing Lo Han Kuo (Momordica Grosvenori Swingle) fruit concentrate powder, isomalt, and fructo-oligosaccharide. Specifically, new and improved fruit-based natural dietary sweetener blend compositions include an improved Lo Han Kuo fruit concentrate powder (a lighter yellow powder that is 300 times sweeter than refined cane sugar and has no bitter aftertaste), isomalt, and fructo-oligosaccharide. Furthermore, such new and improved fruit-based natural dietary sweetener blend compositions provide a sweetness level in the range of 3 times to 10 times sweeter than refined cane sugar. The present invention also involves the use of the improved Lo Han Kuo fruit concentrate powder ingredient in combination with isomalt and fructo-oligosaccharide to eradicate undesired lingering aftertaste, so that the sweetener blend compositions no longer exhibit lingering aftertaste.
