Abstract: The present invention provides compositions for and methods of delivering a therapeutically-effective dose of a malodorous, sulfide or disulfide group-containing compound, for example glutathione (reduced) and/or glutathione disulfide, in a vehicle that is effective to reduce the unpleasant odor and/or taste of the compound. The invention further provides methods for reducing the amount of oxidation occurring when sulfide group-containing compounds, such as glutathione, are incorporated into sugar and or sugar-free hard candies without subjecting the glutathione to thermal and or moisture degradation where degradation is expressed as oxidation. The invention further provides vehicle compositions including the protected sulfide group-containing compounds and their use as medicaments. The sulfide group-containing compounds are protected from degradation by their dispersion into fats, oils, and/or fractionated or partially hydrogenated oils prior to their blending into the vehicle.

Abstract: A liquid fingernail cosmetic composition is provided containing at least one nail enamel film former resin, at least one organic solvent and at least one essential oil or essence component in an amount sufficient, upon activation, to provide an enhanced fragrance scent for a sustained period of time, e.g., at least about 24 hours, said essential oil or fragrance essence being activated by the formation of a nail enamel film from said coating composition.

Abstract: A multiple-layer edible tablet is provided which contains a combination of different ingredients in separate layers wherein ingredients in one of the layers exhibits distinct organoleptic characteristics such as being perceived as cooling in contrast to the distinct organoleptic characteristics exhibited by the ingredients is another of the layers of the tablet such as being perceived as warming to enable the separate layers of the tablet to be identified when the tablet is being consumed by a user.

Abstract: A high dietary fiber-containing snack food product and process for making the same is disclosed. The product comprises from about 5 to about 30% by weight of dietary fiber, soaked in a food grade oil, for example, admixed with peanut butter such that the peanut oil becomes absorbed by the fiber, and further mixed with a compound coating. The compound coating serves as a binder and processing aid for extrusion of the mixture into shapes for immediate consumption. No baking, cooking, toasting or the like is necessary.
