Abstract: The present invention provides a composition including an amphiphilic compound capable of self-assembling into a liquid crystalline phase; and a niacin compound.

Abstract: The invention relates to extracts, in particular non-nutrient phytochemicals, form sugar cane or sugar beet waste products, such as molasses, sugar mud and bagasse, which have Glycemic Index (GI) lowering properties and their use as sweeteners and in foods containing sugar.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing an extract derived from sugar cane, the process comprising: i) mixing a sugar cane derived product with ethanol to produce an extraction mixture comprising at least about 50% v/v ethanol; ii) allowing a precipitate to form in the extraction mixture; iii) removing the precipitate from the extraction mixture to obtain a supernatant; and iv) removing ethanol from the supernatant to produce the extract derived from sugar cane. The present invention further relates to extracts produced according to the process of the invention. The invention also relates to the use of such extracts in a method of lowering the available calorific value of a food or beverage, in treating or preventing disease, and as a nutritional supplement, dietary supplement, sports nutrition product, food coating or pharmaceutical product.

Abstract: There is provided a method for improving the efficacy and/or transdermal transport of topically administered pharmaceuticals and pharmacologically active compounds, said method comprising the step of incorporating the pharmaceutical or pharmacologically active compound in a carrier comprising an effective amount of one or more complexes of a phosphate derivative of a lipophilic pharmaceutically acceptable compound.

Abstract: There is provided a method for altering the distribution of body mass by altering the distribution of body mass by decreasing overall percentage fat and/or increasing the proportion of lean mass to fat mass comprising administering to a subject one or more compounds having the ability to alter body mass composition and/or ACE inhibiting activity or a physiologically acceptable derivative or prodrug thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to preservatives and antimicrobial agents including extracts derived from sugar cane.

Abstract: There is provided a method for preventing, alleviating symptoms or treating a skin condition comprising topically administering to the skin of a subject a cosmetic or pharmaceutical topical formulation comprising an effective skin-penetrating amount of one or more phosphate derivatives of one or more electron transfer agents.

Abstract: The invention relates to preservatives and antimicrobial agents including extracts derived from sugar cane.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing of sugar products having desired levels of specific phytochemicals comprising the steps of: preparing a primary sugar product; analysing said primary sugar product for its phytochemical profile using an analytical method selected from the group consisting of near infrared spectroscopy, electrical conductivity, and combinations thereof; comparing said profile; treating said primary sugar product, if required, to achieve a final sugar product having desired levels of specific phytochemicals.

Abstract: There is provided a composition comprising the reaction product of: (a) one or more phosphate derivatives of one or more hydroxylated actives; and (b) one or more complexing agents selected from the group consisting of amphoteric surfactants, cationic surfactants, amino acids having nitrogen functional groups and proteins rich in these amino acids.
