Abstract: A process to produce a food product comprises the steps of heating raw cream; admixing at least one bubble stabilizer, at least one acidifier, at least one surface tension modifier, and sucrose in said raw cream to produce a stabilized cream mixture; whipping the stabilized cream mixture to introduce air into the mixture; and, adding inclusions to the whipped, stabilized cream mixture.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to methods and materials for treating and/or preventing a disease or disorder in a subject that is mediated by alcohol dehydrogenase by administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of one or more agents that prevents and/or inhibits the metabolism of methanol by alcohol dehydrogenase. Methanol metabolism may be reduced/inhibited in a subject by administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of ethanol.

Abstract: A prebiotic, composition comprising a probiotic and prebiotic, and method of delivering a probiotic, prebiotic or composition directly into the intestinal tract of a mammal are disclosed. The probiotic is any beneficial bacteria and the prebiotic is a substance beneficial to a probiotic. Most preferably, the prebiotic includes a mucopolysaccharide. The method preferably involves delivering the prebiotic, probiotic or composition via a delivery tube, such as an enteral feeding tube, directly to a position downstream of the stomach, most preferably to the jejunum.

Abstract: This invention relates to a low pH, nutritionally balanced food composition which has extended shelf life, high antimicrobial activity, and which includes casein proteins and a method manufacturing same.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for making a composition, such as a food or cosmetic composition, including a biologically active material, such as an enzyme or antimicrobial. The method includes the steps of insulating the active, heating the composition to a temperature that would normally denature or destroy the active, and adding the active to the composition at the denaturing temperature. The active is in a form that enables a beneficial amount to survive and remain active in the composition.

Abstract: A method and apparatus enable the immune system of an infant to distinguish between ABBOS protein sections and p69 protein sections and reduces the risk that an infant will develop diabetes. The method cleaves protein-to-protein bonds in bovine serum albumin to reduce the similarity between the bovine serum albumin and pancreatic beta cells to minimize the likelihood that an infant will develop bovine serum albumin antibodies which will attack and kill the pancreatic beta cells.

Abstract: A liquid enteral tube feeding composition contains free amino acids and glutamine in a dipeptide form and prevents creaming out of fat from the composition.

Abstract: A baked good includes a laminate. The laminate includes a layer of fat and a protein layer which adsorbs a portion of the fat layer. The laminate prevents moisture from penetrating the baked good.CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONSThis is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 08/595,035, filed Jan. 31, 1996, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,789,008.

Abstract: A process for producing pampered whey protein. The pH of whey protein is carefully controlled and maintained substantially constant during processing to produce a protein resistance to precipitation during sterilization.

Abstract: An enzyme--ice cream composition in which a sterilized acid-sensitive lactase enzyme hydrolyzes lactose after the ice cream is frozen to a temperature less than twenty degrees Fahrenheit.

Abstract: Effective concentrations of nicotine, of a stimulant, and of a sequestering agent are admixed in a liquid carrier. The sequestering agent prevents binding of nicotine with metallic ions which interfere with absorption of nicotine through the lining of the oral cavity. The liquid solution is sprayed into the oral cavity for simultaneous absorption of the nicotine and stimulant through the lining of the oral cavity.

Abstract: An ice cream sandwich includes a layer of ice cream intermediate a pair of crispy cookies. The cookies resist migration of moisture from the ice cream and remain crisp during storage. An edible oil and food membrane on the cookies prevents moisture in the ice cream from being absorbed by the cookies.

Abstract: A chemically commercially sterilized enzyme composition for addition to a pasteurized dairy product to reduce gradually the lactose content of the dairy product and to introduce functioning enzymes into the digestive tract of an individual when the dairy product is ingested.

Abstract: A nutritionally balanced water soluble powdered food composition which, when mixed with water, has a low pH, extended shelf life, high antimicrobial activity, and which includes protein alpha-amino acids in solution or in suspension. The food composition utilizes a low pH binary protein stabilizer system and a high total acidity--low pH bacteria stabilizer system.

Abstract: A process is provided for harvesting light absorbing compounds from the epidermal cells of a plant. The plant is subjected to artificial light having wavelengths in the range of 260 to 400 nm. The plant is ground to form a slurry and an enzyme is added to the slurry to breach the walls of cells in the plant to free the light absorbing compounds. A solvent added to the slurry extracts the light absorbing chemicals.

Abstract: A confection includes a soft candy center containing from 5% to 40% by weight water. A first coating is applied to the candy center. A second coating is applied over the first coating. The second coating contains a vitamin, enzyme, phytochemical, or alimentary vegetable composition. The first coating seals moisture in the soft candy center to retard the biodegradation of the vitamin, enzyme, phytochemical or alimentary vegetable composition in the second coating.

Abstract: A method for inhibiting the metabolism of methanol in a human is disclosed. The method comprises administering a source of ethanol introduced into the respiratory tract of a human being, permitting the gradual time release of ethanol from the dietary vaccine into the respiratory tract for absorption into the blood stream of an individual.

Abstract: An ingestible rejuvenation composition is injected into an enteral feeding tube to clean remnant food from the tube and decontaminate the tube. The rejuvenation composition includes a carrier, edible acids, enzymes for degrading the remnant food, and an edible antimicrobial agent.
