Abstract: The disclosure relates to compositions, preferably in the form of a powder and/or granules, which contain as principal components a first component selected from the group consisting of isoflavones, soy products containing at least one isoflavone, and mixtures thereof, together with a polysaccharide as second component. A preferred first component is genistein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or derivative thereof (e.g. genistin). A preferred second component is pectin. The disclosure further relates to a process for the manufacture of such compositions, and their use in dietary supplements, pharmaceutical and personal care compositions. The disclosure is also directed to the use of a polysaccharide for improving the flowability of a component selected from the group consisting of isoflavones, soy products, preferably those containing at least one isoflavone, and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to isoflavone nanoparticle compositions comprising isoflavone in the form of nanoparticles and preferably a carrier. The isoflavone nanoparticle compositions are particularly useful for preparing cosmetic compositions, pharmaceutical compositions, foodstuff, food and feed additives. In the compositions comprising the isoflavone nanoparticle compositions recrystallization of the isoflavone to bigger particles is retarded.

Abstract: The present invention describes a process for the manufacture of a solid composition comprising a microorganism, which process comprises a first step of blending and/or compacting the microorganism with a salt of a medium or long-chain fatty acid to prepare a powderous mixture or compacted granulate, and a second step of providing said powderous mixture or compacted granulate with a coating. The microorganisms are preferably probiotics. The invention also relates to the solid composition obtained by said process and to its use in food.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to topical compositions, comprising isoflavone nanoparticle compositions. The isoflavone nanoparticle compositions contain isoflavone in the form of nanoparticles and preferably a carrier. In the topical compositions recrystallization of the isoflavone to bigger particles is avoided.

Abstract: Complexes comprising resveratrol and a casein, a process for their manufacture, their uses and compositions comprising them.

Abstract: A powder composition containing at least one fat-soluble vitamin dispersed in a matrix of a natural polysaccharide gum or a mixture of gums having an emulsifying capacity and/or a protein or a mixture of proteins having an emulsifying capacity. The fat-soluble vitamin in the powder compositions is in the form of droplets having an average diameter in the range of about 70 to about 200 nm. Tablets, beverages and beverage concentrates, foods, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals containing the powder composition can be made.

Abstract: Ascorbic acid compositions in the form of a powder and/or granules contain as principle components L-ascorbic acid and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a high molecular (300 kDalton or higher) pectin. The compositions are compressible into tablets with improved mechanical strength and hardness.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions, preferably in the form of a powder and/or granules, which contain resveratrol and pectin, and a process for the manufacture of such compositions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions containing one or more proteins, one or more polysaccharides and one or more fat-soluble active ingredients and their use for the enrichment, fortification and/or coloration of food beverages, animal feed and/or cosmetics.

Abstract: Novel powder compositions comprising droplets of Coenzyme Q-10 dispersed in a matrix of a modified polysaccharide or a gelatin are obtained by emulsifying Coenzyme Q-10 in a solution of the matrix components.

Abstract: The invention relates to compositions containing a fat soluble substance in a glassy carbohydrate matrix having maltose or a mixture of low-molecular weight carbohydrates, and, optionally, a high-molecular weight carbohydrate. The compositions can be used for multivitamin tablets, hard gelatin capsules, dry food and feed compositions and for enriching sugar.
