Food supplements

Low temperature (It) tars of Eischer-Tropsch (ET) fractions provide reasonable substrates for growth of yeast for human or animal food supplements. Yeast growth yields were 99.8% (ET fraction), 95.2 and 84.2% (It tar) of those from a petroleum-derived paraffin fraction (63) (see Eoods, nonconventional). [Pg.160]

Taufine [107-35-7] (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid), is the only known naturally occurring sulfonic acid. The material is an essential amino acid for cats and is used extensively by Ralston Putina Company as a food supplement ia cat food manufacture. Approximately 5,000—6,000 t of tautine (synthetic and natural) were produced ia 1993 50% for pet food manufacture, 50% ia pharmaceutical appHcations (114). [Pg.102]

In all fermented foods, microbes contribute as preservatives, ie, by lowering the pH and producing ethanol, or by making the food more palatable. The dehberate use of yeasts as food in themselves is less common. Small beer, the sediment from beer, has been traditionally used as a vitamin supplement for infants. Beginning in 1910, dried, spent brewers yeast was developed as a food, and Candida utilis was used as a food supplement in Germany during World War II. [Pg.393]

The most widely available yeast biomass is a by-product of the brewing industry, where the multiplication of yeast during brewing results in a surplus of ceUs. Eor every barrel (117 L) of beer brewed, 0.2—0.3 kg of yeast soHds may be recovered. In the U.S., a substantial fraction is recovered and made available about 40 x 10 kg of brewers yeast aimually. The yeast is recovered from beer by centrifuging and dried on roUer dmms or spray dryers and sold as animal feed or a pet-food supplement. It can be debittered by alkaline extraction to remove the bitter hop residues, and is then sold mainly by the health-food industry. It is available as tablets, powder, or flakes and is often fortified with additional vitamins. Distillers yeast caimot be readily separated from the fermented mash and the mixture is sold as an animal feed supplement. [Pg.393]

Bakers inactive dry yeast is also widely used in the food industry. This yeast may be grown specifically as a food supplement and consequently there is a choice in its composition by varying growth conditions and feedstock makeup. It can possibly produce high levels of nicotinic acid and thiamin, the cmde protein content can be raised to 50—55% and it can be used as a vehicle for the incorporation of micronutrients such as selenium or chromium into the diet. [Pg.393]

The proteins in food supplements are often hydrolyzed to short peptides to make them easier to absorb. A high content of amino acids is deleterious, however. Thus, there is ongoing interest in determining the size distribution of peptides in protein hydrolyzates. Silvestre et al. (29,30) used a PolyHEA column to compare casein hydrolyzates prepared through various methods. They were able to assess the content of the smallest peptides, as well as amino acids (Fig. 8.13). [Pg.265]

Angel is 12 and a member of the local swimming club.She is a good swimmer and has won a number of medals for backstroke and butterfly stroke events. The staff at the club tell her and her parents that she could make it to international or even Olympic level if she is prepared to train very hard. One day her personal coach at the club suggests to her that she take some special tablets that will help her build up her muscles. He tells her that they are only food supplement tablets but also tells her that she should not tell anyone else about them, not even her parents. [Pg.138]

Considering the concerns of consumers for synthetic colorants and interest in natural formulas, many food manufacturers seek alternative healthy solutions to replace colorants, even the regulated ones from positive lists (like p-carotene), with colored fruit and vegetable extracts to be used as functional food ingredients or nutraceuticals (food supplements). ... [Pg.596]

As diarrhea is a known and common complication of antibiotic therapy, many approaches have been used for prevention. The use of probiotics administered with the antibiotic is appealing. A probiotic is a live microbial food supplement that beneficially affects the host animal, improving its microbial balance [67], Certain probiotics can reduce the risk and duration of diarrhea [68]. Agents used in prevention of AAD include lactobacilli, such as Lactobacillus GG, Streptococcus faecium, bifidobacteria and the yeast S. boulardii. [Pg.87]

All reduced thiols contain very active SH groups and therefore, are potentially efficient antioxidants. There are numerous endogenous and synthetic thiols, which have already been studied and applied as antioxidative drugs and food supplements, but the most important antioxidant thiols are undoubtedly lipoic acid and glutathione. [Pg.873]

Herbal, natural, and food-supplement products are often used to promote weight loss (Table 59-3). The FDA does not strictly regulate these products, so the ingredients may be inactive and present in variable concentrations. After more than 800 reports of serious adverse events (e.g., seizures, stroke, and death) were attributed to ephedrine alkaloids, the FDA decided to exclude them from dietary supplements. [Pg.680]

Provesteen A microbiological process for making single-cell protein from methanol, ethanol, or whey, developed in the 1980s by Provesta Corporation, a subsidiary of Phillips Petroleum Company. The basis of the process is a special high cell-density fermenter, which simplifies the isolation of the product from the water.
