  • Patent number: 9622497
    Abstract: A carotenoid oil suspension and preparation method thereof are provided. The method includes the following steps: a) mixing carotenoid with organic solvent, heating the mixture to dissolve the carotenoid sufficiently to obtain carotenoid solution; b) introducing the carotenoid solution obtained in step a) into a vegetable oil solution stirred in high speed by spraying, meanwhile recovering the organic solvent generated during spraying under vacuum condition, then, simultaneously completing recycling and spraying, thereafter, obtaining carotenoid oil suspension; wherein, the carotenoid oil suspension comprises a carotenoid crystal with an average particle size of less than 5 ?m. The method is applicable in industrial scale with continuous operation and increased efficiency without additional carotenoid crystal grinding processes, and decreases the degradation of carotenoid during the preparation process of carotenoid oil suspension.

  • Publication number: 20030232892
    Abstract: Zeaxanthin (ZX) or other medically or commercially important carotenoids can be prepared in microcrystalline form, in an oily carrier liquid, to increase their bioavailability following oral ingestion. Initial processing is carried out to prepare a “rough” or “coarse-grained” carotenoid preparation containing relatively large particles of the ZX or other carotenoid, in a suitable form such as a lyophilized stable powder. The coarse-grain preparation is dissolved in a suitable solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, and mixed with a carrier liquid comprising a digestible oil (such as a vegetable oil) and an emulsifying agent. The resulting oil-and-solvent mixture is injected, along with inert gas such as nitrogen, into a vacuum chamber, where a suitable vacuum and temperature combination is used to remove the solvent in a rapid “flash” manner which does not give the carotenoid crystals time to grow larger through accretion or aggregation.

  • Patent number: 5843869
    Abstract: There are described a method for enriching the anabolic p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenases from plant tissues and a method by means of which the enzymatic activity of the enzyme can be measured in a simple manner without complete purification of the enzyme being necessary. The invention furthermore describes an assay system for identifying inhibitors of p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase from plants, in which an enriched HPPD from plants is incubated with a test substrate to be examined and the enzymatic activity of the enzyme is determined in comparison with the activity of the uninhibited enzyme. The invention furthermore describes the novel herbicidal active substances of the formula (I) ##STR1## which were found using the assay method according to the invention.

  • Patent number: 5618837
    Abstract: Methods for inhibiting intimal hyperplasia in the vasculature of mammals, including primates, are disclosed. The methods comprise administering to the mammal an effective amount of Brefeldin A or a derivative of Brefeldin A. The methods are useful in reducing intimal hyperplasia due to, for example, vascular injuries resulting from angioplasty, endarterectomy, reduction atherectomy or anastomosis of a vascular graft. The non-peptide PDGF antagonists Brefeldin A and its derivatives may optionally be administered coordinately with heparin, whereby the coordinately administered of non-peptide PDGF antagonist and heparin are combinatorially effective in inhibiting intimal hyperplasia.
