  • Isoflavone nanoparticles and use thereof
    Patent number: 8951560
    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.

  • Compositions for enternal application of microorganisms
    Patent number: 8697126
    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.
