Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, a formulation for a composition includes active ingredients at an approximate total of 68% by weight of the composition; and filler ingredients at an approximate total of 32% by weight of the composition; wherein the active ingredients include peptides at approximately 30% by weight of the composition; rosewater at approximately 20% by weight of the composition; hyaluronic acid at approximately 15% by weight of the composition; and lactic acid at approximately 3% by weight of the composition; and wherein the filler ingredients include marine plasma; distilled water; and one or more botanicals. The composition is topically applied to areas of the skin. In addition, the formulation may include biotin, and the resulting composition is topically applied to the scalp.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods of producing a fermented milk product comprising a step wherein milk is fermented, wherein: (a) the fermentation is initiated by a starter culture, which starter culture comprises lactic acid bacteria capable of metabolizing one or several carbohydrates present in the milk, (b) the fermentation is terminated by a decrease of the concentration of the one or several carbohydrates during fermentation, and (c) the decrease is at least also caused by the metabolic activity of the lactic acid bacteria. The invention further provides respective methods comprising a step, wherein at least part of the whey is separated from the fermented milk product.

Abstract: The principles of the present invention provide novel compositions and methods for naturally enriching beverages with multiple vitamins. The method includes fermenting beverages, such as fruit juices, in a single step with a microorganism capable of producing at least four vitamins, such as vitamin B12, vitamin K, folate, and biotin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel wild-type Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris bacteria strain with increased vitamin K2 production and mutants and variants thereof and methods for preparation of a fermented food or feed product enriched in vitamin K2 and a vitamin K enriched edible product for amelioration and/or prevention of vitamin K deficiency. The present invention also relates to the fermented food or feed product and the edible product obtainable by the methods herein and to the wild-type Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris bacteria strain for use in treatment and/or prevention of vitamin K deficiency in a mammal, such as a human.

Abstract: The invention relates to a promoter inducible by metalloporphyrins. Said promoter is useful for controlling the expression of genes of interest in gram-positive bacteria deficient in heme biosynthesis, in particular lactic acid bacteria.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing mixture from a large number of components, the concentrations of the components used being capable of continuous variation over prescribed ranges in a very simple manner. For this, the mixtures are continuously prepared in a mixing assembly and continuously converted into a form which can be subjected to further processing. By way of example, the invention may be used for producing substance libraries for high-throughput screening in the plastics industry, in particular of mixtures of polymers with one another and of mixtures of polymers with added materials.
