In particular, the present invention refers to a form of administration of a high and stable load of probiotic bacteria.

Abstract: The present invention refers to the use of probiotic bacteria for the treatment of hyperhomocysteinaemia. The present invention furthermore refers to a composition comprising probiotic bacteria in association with at least one vitamin chosen from the group comprising the B group of vitamins for the treatment of plasma hyperhomocysteinaemia.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition based on probiotic bacteria and a substance having probiotic properties and the use thereof to prevent and/or treat respiratory pathologies and/or infections and simultaneously improve intestinal functionality, which may be compromised by the therapeutic treatments adopted to resolve said pathological conditions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to fermented soymilk and to a method for improving the organoleptic properties of fermented soymilk.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for the administration of biologically active substances in a gynaecologic and rectal ambit, as well as the uses of said composition. Said composition presents particularly favourable technological and stability characteristics of the end product, above all with regard to the viscosity after the dissolution/resuspension of the same in a hydrophilic liquid medium which allows a better adhesion and a direct contact from bacteria to the treated mucosae. Said composition includes a specific viscosizing agent selected from the group of the gums, which can play an important prebiotic function by contributing in a significant way to the correct growth and colonization of the probiotic culture, thus forming a perfect symbiotic system.

Abstract: The aim of the present invention is “gluten-free” spore or mildew cultures of the genus Penicillium, in particular of the species Penicillium roqueforti for the blue-veining of cheeses intended for persons affected by celiac disease. Furthermore, the aim of the present invention is a method for the preparation of said cultures which foresees the use of an anallergic substrate in association with a subsequent enzymatic treatment.

Abstract: The aim of the present invention is a method for the preparation of anallergic probiotic bacterial cultures.

Abstract: The present invention relates to folic acid-producing bacterial strains belonging to the genus Bifidobacterium, pharmaceutical, veterinary or food formulations containing them and the use thereof. In particular, the invention relates to new bacterial strains of human origin belonging to the genus Bifidobacterium, adolescentis species (2), the genus Bifidobacterium, breve species (1) and the genus Bifidobacterium, pseudocatenulatum species (2) deposited in the DSMZ collection center (Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH; Braunsweig, Germany), in accordance with the Treaty of Budapest, on 21 Jul. 2004.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is a probiotic bacteria based composition and use thereof in the prevention and/or treatment of respiratory pathologies and/or infections and in the contemporaneous improvement of the intestinal functionality, which can be compromised by therapeutic treatments adopted for re-solving said pathological conditions. Besides that, aim of this invention is a probiotic bacteria-based composition comprising moreover a suitable quantity of at least a substance or nourishment having prebiotic properties and eventually, of suitable pharmacologically active substances.
