Publication number: 20090169683Abstract: The present invention is directed to isolating the valuable components of cereal grains and allowing the benefits to be more fully exploited. The concept of the present invention initially involves selection of cultivars of cereal grains such as wheat, barley, oats and rye having desired bioactive components including antioxidants, complex phenolics, lignans, flavonoids, vitamins, fiber, protein and other nutrients concentrated in one or more of the outer bran layers. Then separating the outer bran layer into three fractions, according to the desired bioactive components contained in the bran layers including antioxidants, complex phenolics, lignans, flavonoids, vitamins, fiber, protein and other nutrients. This allows the maximum benefit and value to be obtained from the bran fractions as dietary supplements, nutraceuticals, or as enriched food products.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2006Publication date: July 2, 2009Inventor: Christopher James Findlay

Publication number: 20090169685Abstract: Improved methods for potassium fortification in food products and the resulting potassium-fortified food products produced therefrom are provided. The methods of this invention allow significant levels of potassium fortification (i.e., greater than about 10 percent, and even up to about 50 percent, of the current U.S. Daily Values (DV) in a single serving) without the objectionable and unpleasant taste profile normally associated with current methods of potassium fortification.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2007Publication date: July 2, 2009Inventors: Kieran Patrick Spelman, Barbara Jo Lyle, Yi-Fang Chu, Jimbay P. Loh, Yeong-Ching Albert Hong
