Moreover, the present invention encompasses a collection of metabolites, a data collection comprising characteristic values of metabolites and a storage medium comprising said data collection. Furthermore, the present invention also relates to a system comprising means for comparing characteristic values of metabolites of a sample operatively linked to a data storage medium. Further encompassed by the present invention are diagnostic means comprising at least one metabolite and the use of said at least one metabolite for the manufacture of diagnostic means for diagnosing a predisposition for diabetes.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2007Publication date: September 23, 2010Applicant: Metanomics GmbHInventors: Bianca Bethan, Kristina Busch, Jan Wiemer, Martijn Gipmans, Edgar Leibold, Jochen Spranger, Thomas Bobbert, Andreas Friedrich Hermann Pfeiffer

Publication number: 20100200805Abstract: The present invention provides certain improvements in methods for processing vegetable oils and apparatus for carrying out such methods. One embodiment provides a method for processing a partially processed oil including glycerides and a volatilizable impurity fraction. The partially processed oil may processed by driving off a first volatiles stream comprising a portion of the glycerides and at least a portion of the volatilizable impurity fraction, leaving a deodorized oil. The first volatiles stream may be introduced into a first condensing chamber and a glyceride-rich, impurity-poor first condensate may be condensed from the first volatiles stream, leaving a glyceride-poor, impurity-rich second volatiles stream. The second volatiles stream may be passed into a second condensing chamber and a glyceride-poor, impurity-rich second condensate may be condensed from the second volatiles stream.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2009Publication date: August 12, 2010Applicant: Cargill, IncorporatedInventor: Marco Kruidenberg

Patent number: 7759507Abstract: The present invention relates to a lipid system, and methods for using such a lipid system, containing specific relative ratios of omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids. The lipid system may be used independently or as a component of a nutritional product. A lipid system according to the present invention may contain omega-3 fatty acids, omega-6 fatty acids, and omega-9 fatty acids with the ratio of omega-6 fatty acids to omega-3 fatty acids preferably being between 0.25:1 and 3:1, and the ratio of omega-9 fatty acids to omega-3 fatty acids preferably being between 0.4:1 and 3:1. The present invention also relates to methods for administering a lipid system or a nutritional product containing the lipid system to an individual.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2003Date of Patent: July 20, 2010Assignee: Abbott LaboratoriesInventors: Vikkie A. Mustad, Stephen DeMichele, Bradley A. Zinker, Yung-Sheng Huang

Publication number: 20100159177Abstract: Provided are compositions, processes for making, and processes for using triglycerides as plasticizers. Triglyceride plasticizers can be produced by recovery of linear or branched C4 to C10 aldehydes from a hydroformylation product, oxidation to the acid with oxygen and/or air, recovery of the resulting acid, and esterification with glycerol, wherein the total carbon number of the triester groups is from 20 to 25 for greater than or equal to 45 wt % of the plasticizer. Such plasticizers can be phthalate-free and provide outstanding properties including a suitable melting or glass transition or pour point, low volatility, increased compatibility, and excellent low temperature properties in a range of polymeric resins.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2009Publication date: June 24, 2010Inventors: Jihad Mohammed Dakka, Edmund John Mozeleski, Lisa Saunders Baugh, Enock Berluche

Patent number: RE42313Abstract: Triglyceride oils having unsaturated fatty acid substituents are modified to convert sites of unsaturation to C-2 to C-10 diesters. The resulting derivatives are characterized by thermal and oxidative stability, have low temperature performance properties and are environmentally-friendly. They have utility as hydraulic fluids, lubricants, metal working fluids and other industrial fluids. The triglyceride oils are most easily prepared via epoxidized vegetable oils which are converted to the diesters in either a one- or two-step reaction.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2005Date of Patent: April 26, 2011Assignees: The United States of America as repesented by the Secretary of Agriculture, The Penn State Research FoundationInventors: Sevim Z.
