Publication number: 20110052538Abstract: This invention pertains to a method of promoting gastrointestinal health by ingesting a composition comprising one or more probiotic microorganisms, one or more carbohydrate sources, and one or more resistant protein products. Large intestinal health is benefited by one or more of the following: increased fecal weight, lower fecal pH, increased carbohydrate fermentation, and amelioration of protein fermentation.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2010Publication date: March 3, 2011Applicant: BRUNOB II B.V.Inventors: Ian Lewis Brown, Anne M. Birkett, Richard Le Leu, Graeme P. Young

Publication number: 20080292773Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a modified starch to increase the dietary fiber content of food compositions processed under harsh conditions. By using certain modified starches, food formulations may be harshly processed while retaining substantial dietary fiber. Further, such modified starches provide dietary fiber without the negative effects on textural or organoleptic properties of the food compositions which are typically associated with the addition of other dietary fiber sources.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2007Publication date: November 27, 2008Inventors: Ian Lewis Brown, Monika Okoniewska, Robert L. Billmers

Patent number: 7252836Abstract: The invention described in this application relates to a method of increasing the amount of weight gained by the mammal during a feeding period, to a method of increasing the amount of milk replacer consumed by the mammal during a feeding period, to a method of decreasing the amount of scour of the ruminant during a feeding period, to a method of decreasing the amount of respiratory distress of the mammal during a feeding period, to a method of feeding the ruminant, to a mammal ration, to a daily mammal ration, to a method of feeding mammals an animal feed that contains resistant starch, and to a method of increasing the feed efficiency of a mammal during a feeding period that entails feeding the mammal an effective amount of a fluid animal feed during the feeding period and feeding the mammal an effective amount of resistant starch during the feeding period.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2003Date of Patent: August 7, 2007Assignees: Penwest, Ltd., Land O′Lakes Farmland Feed LLC.Inventors: Ian Lewis Brown, Bill L. Miller, Wallace H. Kunerth

Publication number: 20030113429Abstract: The invention described in this application relates to food compositions such as breakfast cereals, bread and the like which have an enhanced dietary fibre content. In each case the source of dietary fibre is a starch, preferably a maize starch, having an amylose content of 50% or more, the starch being incorporated into a food composition as appropriate. Alternatively, grains or legumes or parts thereof which include starch of this amylose content may be used.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 3, 2002Publication date: June 19, 2003Inventors: Kenneth John McNaught, Ian Lewis Brown, Robert Ganly
