Anti-aging additives

Ibuprofen is available in liquid, sachet, capsule, melt and tablet form. The licensed age range for ibuprofen depends on the product formulation. Ibuprofen is only indicated for children over six months of age over the counter. It has additional anti-inflammatory properties which may be helpful in conditions such as otitis media. Ibuprofen has the potential to cause gastrointestinal disturbances, although if given with food this is unlikely. Note Caution if using in a child with history of severe asthma or renal disease. 

All these attributes and a number of others continue to characterise the current food trends. Additionally, health, wellness, variety and anti-aging are the major driving forces of today s functional foods. Never before has the consumer been so sensitive to the correlation between health consciousness, diet and long life, nutrition and fortification with a simultaneous acceptance and growing consumption of better tasting, ready-to-use convenience foods [12, 13]. 

Recently, Pseudopterosin C, a diterpene riboside isolated from the gorgonian corals Pseudopterogorgia bipinata and P. elisabethae [134] was launched by Estde Lauder as an additive to anti-aging cosmetics. It exhibits potent antiinflammatory and analgesic activities by reversibly affecting both, lipoxygenase and phospholipase A2 [135]. 

Additives which change chemical properties during processing and in the final plastic product include anti-ageing additives in the form of antioxidants, heat stabilizers, light stabilizers and flame retardants. 

Antioxidants are usually in the form of antioxidant packages, combining two or more antioxidants (one of these, in general, is the primary antioxidant while the other is the secondary antioxidant, and both are expected to work together synergistically). The primary antioxidant helps to prevent or to terminate oxidative reactions. The secondary antioxidant helps to neutralise reactive materials that can create new cycles of oxidation. Antioxidants are also regarded as anti-ageing additives [15]. 

Photo/light stabilisers are anti-ageing additives. It is commonly known that PVC plastic windows can develop yellowish-brownish spots with time, mainly caused by sunlight...
