Abstract: The invention provides non-dairy, plant-based components, having reduced trace element contents, food products and nutritional compositions comprising them and methods for their preparation.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a method for one or both of improving growth in a subject and treating at least one growth problem in a subject. The method comprises administering to the subject an edible lipid composition which comprises a vegetable-derived fat source, wherein the fat source is a triglyceride fat source comprising triglycerides with 13-55% palmitic acid moieties out of the total fatty acids, and wherein the level of palmitic acid moieties at the sn-2 position of the glycerol backbone is at least 30% of total palmitic acid.

Abstract: The invention provides oil blends, processes for the preparation thereof and their uses.

Abstract: The invention provides compositions comprising choline and water soluble derivatives thereof, processes for their preparation and uses thereof.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a method for ore or both of improving sleep in a subject and treating at least one sleep problem in a subject. The method comprises administering to the subject an edible lipid composition which comprises a vegetable-derived fat source, wherein the fat source is a triglyceride fat source comprising triglycerides with 15-55% palmitic acid moieties out of the total fatty acids, and wherein the level of palmitic acid moieties at the sn-2 position of the glycerol backbone is at least 30% of total palmitic acid.

Abstract: The invention provides oil blends, processes for the preparation thereof and their uses.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of inducing and promoting development of beneficial gut flora in a subject and/or of reducing the frequency and duration of crying periods in a subject, the method comprises administering to the subject a lipid composition comprising a vegetable-derived fat source, wherein the fat source is a triglyceride fat source comprising triglycerides with 15-55% palmitic acid moieties out of the total fatty acids, and wherein the level of palmitic acid moieties at the sn-2 position of the glycerol backbone is at least 30% of total palmitic acid. The method is particularly intended for children. Specific fat sources, as well as food articles and a commercial package comprising the same are disclosed.
