Abstract: A protein supplemented coffee beverage that includes the addition to hot coffee of a quantity of hydrolyzed collagen, a quantity of hydrolyzed whey protein concentrate, and a miniscule amount of natural coffee flavor, for the purpose of supplementing the protein content of the beverage when consumed.

Abstract: Metabolizing alcohol requires B vitamins and other nutrients in the liver. A person who drinks a large quantity of alcohol depletes those vitamins and nutrients. With lowered vitamins and nutrients a person feels uncomfortable following drinking, commonly called a hangover. A hangover ameliorative has four pills of vitamins and nutrients taken as two pills before drinking and two pills before sleeping. The hangover ameliorative overloads a person with nutrients consumed during metabolization of alcohol resulting in better sleep and less chance for a headache.

Abstract: A nutritional supplement for sports nutrition and also as a general population dietary supplement for aging people is provided. The nutritional supplement is a combination of a high glycemic sugar or carbohydrate, vitamin B6, electrolytic minerals, and amino acids some of which have neuromodulating properties and some of which are muscle cell volumizers. The amino acids included in the nutritional supplement include the amino acids include glutamine, taurine, creatine, cysteine, glycine, leucine, and arginine. The amino acids having neuromodulating properties is chosen from the group consisting of glutamine, taurine, glycine, and cysteine, and combinations thereof. The amino acids having cell volumizing properties is chosen from the group consisting of creatine, taurine, and glycine, and combinations thereof. The combination of the ingredients has a synergistic effect of increasing muscle mass, increasing physical abilities (strength, stamina, and endurance), and decreasing body fat.

Abstract: The present invention provides for novel solid state O2-selective metal complex-based adsorbents and their utility for separating oxygen from a gas stream. In particular, the invention provides for an adsorption complex which contains four-coordinate O2-selective metal complexes including oligomeric/polymeric metal complexes, and organic base-containing polymers supported on porous materials.

Abstract: A method of enhancing protein absorption and utilization from the gastrointestinal tract of a subject requiring such enhanced protein absorption and utilization including the oral administration of milk protein concentrate incorporating probiotic bacteria to enhance metabolic processing from the gastrointestinal tract and utilization in the body, and such probiotic organisms preferably include bifido bacteria combined with acidophilus bacteria or other lactic acid producing bacteria.

Abstract: Carbon dioxide is removed from gas streams comprised predominantly of gases that are less strongly adsorbed than is carbon dioxide by passing the gas stream through a bed of type X zeolite having a silicon to aluminum atomic ratio not greater than about 1.15 and at least 75% of the exchangeable cations of which are potassium ions, thereby adsorbing the carbon dioxide from the gas stream. The process is particularly advantageous when applied to the removal of low levels of carbon dioxide from gas streams at temperatures of about 0 to 80° C.

Abstract: Zeolites in particulate form that are uniformly exchanged with both lithium ions and trivalent cations are produced by first partially ion-exchanging the zeolite in powdered form with one or more selected trivalent ions, then agglomerating and calcining the partially trivalent cation-exchanged zeolite, then ion-exchanging the calcined agglomerate with lithium ions, and finally activating the trivalent cation- and lithium ion-exchanged zeolite.

Abstract: Applicants have developed a unique process for preparing a shaped article comprising an ion exchange composition and a hydroxy oxide binder. The ion exchange compositions include metallotitanates, metallogermanates, pillared clays and metal phosphonates. The process involves combining the ion exchange composition with a binder precursor and water, forming the mixture into a shaped article and heating the article at a temperature of about 85.degree. C. to about 120.degree. C. These shaped articles are useful for removing metal ions such as cesium from feed streams.

Abstract: Novel, hollow, low-density agglomerates for use in sealed insulating glass windows to adsorb water vapor, and optionally organic materials, present in the cavity between the two glazings. These agglomerates provide sufficient but not excessive amounts of zeolitic and other adsorbents when used to fill all portions of the spacer tube located at the peripheral sides of the double glazed unit, thereby greatly facilitating the filling of such spacer tubes and the fabrication of the overall unit.

Abstract: Processes for stabilizing protein in acid pH media are provided as well as the compositions produced thereby. Acidified protein compositions exhibiting protein stability for extended periods of time are also provided. The processes of the present invention promote chemical reaction between protein and galactomannan to achieve protein stability in acid pH media.

Abstract: Agglomerates of zeolitic molecular sieves which are bonded with particles of generally spherical amorphous colloidal-sized silica particles having nominal diameters in the range of 40 to 800 nanometers are found to have increased adsorption capacity for many molecular species due to the development in the binder of a pore system created by the packing of the silica spheres. When the molecular sieves employed are highly siliceous and hydrophobic, the agglomerates are ideally suited for use in odor elimination applications in which unagglomerated molecular sieve particles create dusting and handling problems.
