  • Patent number: 8790735
    Abstract: Methods and food product compositions are provided for preferentially reducing absorption of saturated fat whereby the effective caloric content of a fat-containing food product is reduced by about 25% of the effective caloric content contributed by a saturated fat. This food product is prepared with a major portion of the saturated fat present in the food product being complexed with a solubilized alpha and/or beta cyclodextrin. Food products comprising a fat component comprising mixtures of saturated and unsaturated fat fractions are provided wherein the saturated fat fraction is desirably selectively more complexed to reduce its relative metabolic availability.

  • Patent number: 8496986
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method whereby, in producing a hard butter composition being rich in SUS (2-unsaturated-1,3-disaturated triglyceride) via ester exchange by a 1,3-specific lipase, the production can be more conveniently or more efficiently carried out. In producing a hard butter composition being rich in SUS (2-unsaturated-1,3-disaturated triglyceride) via ester exchange by a 1,3-specific lipase, a low-melting point fraction of allanblackia fat is used as the main starting material, saturated fatty acids are selectively introduced into the 1- and 3-positions of the fat, and then fractionation is optionally conducted to thereby give an SUS-rich fraction.

  • Patent number: 8460738
    Abstract: Edible phytosterol-containing compositions include molecular complexes of non-esterified phytosterols (P) and glycerine (G) in the form of liquid crystalline microparticles. Addition of an emulsifier (M) such as a monoglyceride or a modified lecithin, and optionally an ionic surfactant, to the complex facilitates its dispersal in an aqueous medium. A composition containing either the binary PG or ternary PGM molecular complexes can be formulated as a beverage, food product, or nutritional supplement. When administered to a human subject, the complexes sequester cholesterol in the gastrointestinal tract and reduce LDL cholesterol and total plasma cholesterol levels.
