Abstract: Powderous formulations are disclosed containing vitamin E which can be produced easily and which can be used in many fields of application, but mainly in beverages.

Abstract: The present invention relates to improved vitamin E formulations, as well as to the production of such formulations.

Abstract: The present patent application relates to liquid concentrated vitamin E (and/or vitamin E derivatives) compositions. The liquid composition comprises vitamin E (and/or vitamin E derivatives) and at least 40 wt-% of at least one polyoxyethylene sorbitan monofatty acid ester and said liquid composition has an IU value of at least 0.30 IU/mg (based on the total weight of the liquid composition). Furthermore the present invention is related to the use of such compositions in liquid formulations (especially beverages, such as soft drinks), which are transparent (even after pasteurization).

Abstract: The present invention relates to formulations of a pharmacological effective fat-soluble active ingredient with a high bioavailability of said fat-soluble active ingredient as well as to their manufacture and use as dietary supplement, food, feed, personal care product and/or pharmaceutical. Such formulations are those which when dissolved, dispersed or diluted in/with water have an extinction E 1/1 at a wavelength in the range of from 200 to 800 nm, preferably in the range of from 250 to 600 nm, more preferably in the range of from 250 to 500 nm, more preferably in the range of from 370 to 485 nm, of ?380, preferably of ?600, most preferably ?900. In preferred embodiments of the formulations of the present invention such formulations show an extrusion loss of fat-soluble active ingredient of ?30% when pressed to tablets.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an emulsion of an oil composition comprising docasoahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which is characterized in that the emulsion is essentially free from ascorbyl palmitate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to (fruit) juices and nectars formulations, comprising (LC)-PUFA's, which do not have the characteristic fish taste of the (long chain) polyunsaturated fatty acids. Furthermore, the present invention also relates to a base material, which comprises PUFA and ?-carotene and the use of such a base material to produce a (fruit) juice or (fruit) nectar formulation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to improved powderous formulations of organic acids or esters having an aromatic ring system, as well as to the production of such formulations.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel compositions containing finely dispersed carotenoids. The novel compositions of this invention can be used as colorants or additives for food, beverages, animal feeds, cosmetics or drugs. The colorant composition may be a liquid or a solid composition. The solid composition comprises at least one carotenoid which is dispersed in a matrix, wherein the matrix contains at least one carbohydrate and/or one modified carbohydrate and optionally, a protein, a modified protein or mixtures thereof, wherein the at least one carbohydrate and/or one modified carbohydrate is starch or modified starch, wherein the amount of starch or modified starch is from about 10 wt-% to 60 wt-% of based on the total weight of the matrix, and wherein the concentration of the at least one carotenoid is at least 2% based on the total weight of the composition. Preferably ?-carotene is used as a solid water-dispersible colorant composition.
