Embodiment 1

[0067] Example 1: Dry Pet Food

[0068] The feed mixture consisted of about 58% by weight corn, about 6% by weight corn gluten, about 23% by weight meat meal, with dried chicory, salt, vitamins and minerals making up the remainder. Dried chicory is added in the form of a chicory extract made according to one embodiment of the present invention and in an amount of about 5% or less. The feed mixture is loaded into the preconditioner and moistened. The moist feed is then loaded into the extruder-digester and gelled. As the gelled matrix exits the extruder, it is forced through a die and compressed to form an extrudate. The extrudate was cut into dog-friendly pieces, dried at about 110°C for about 20 minutes, and cooled to form pellets. It should be appreciated that part or all of the fat mixture, or part or all of the fats and oils used may be added at a later stage, eg as a coating.

[0069] Added Chicory As previously discussed, can enhance the health of pets by, for exampl...

Embodiment 2

[0070] Example 2: Dry Pet Food

[0071] Dry pet food was prepared as the dry pet food of Example 1. It also includes other ingredients that are generally associated with enhancing the palatability of dry pet foods suitable for cats. As previously discussed, added chicory can enhance your pet's health by, for example, preventing and / or treating inflammation.

Embodiment 3

[0072] Example 3: Dry Cat Food

[0073] The feed mixture consisted of about 58% by weight corn, about 6% by weight corn gluten, about 23% by weight chicken meal, with dried chicory, salt, vitamins and minerals making up the remainder. Add about 5% or less chicory. As previously discussed, added chicory inhibits enzymatic activity, which is believed to enhance the health of the animal by, for example, treating and / or preventing inflammation.

[0074] The feed mixture is loaded into the preconditioner and moistened. The moist feed is then loaded into the extruder-digester and gelled. As the gelled matrix exits the extruder, it is forced through a die and compressed to form an extrudate. The extrudate was cut into cat-friendly pieces, dried at about 110°C for about 20 minutes, and cooled to form pellets. At this time, Lactobacillus and Enterococcus faecium such as Lactobacillus rhamnosus NCC2583 (CNCM I-2449), Lactobacillus acidophilus NCC2628 (CNCM I-2453) Freeze-dried powd...

Abstract

Compositions capable of reducing a risk of inflammation in a mammal(s) are provided. The compositions contain a therapeutically effective amount of a thermally processed (e.g., extruded) plant material that includes alpha-methylene-gamma-butyrolactone (alpha-MGBL) and / or several structurally related parent phytochemicals capable of inhibiting enzymatic and / or transcriptional activity in the mammal, which is believed to treat and / or prevent inflammation. In this regard, the risk of incidence of other disease or ailments which are believed to be caused by inflammation (e.g., chronic inflammation) may be reduced. The phytochemical source can be derived from a single plant material, such as chicory.

Description

[0001] The present invention generally relates to compositions. More specifically, the present invention relates to thermally processed (eg extruded) plant material, such as chicory and / or extracts thereof, included to enhance human and animal health. Plant material from, for example, plants of the family Asteracae, which contains the desired amount of a sesquiterpene lactone effective to produce its active product such as α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone (α-MGBL) upon heating , or from other plants containing the same or substantially the same compound, such as coffee or soybeans. Background of the invention [0002] The need to enhance mammalian health has involved and continues to involve ongoing research efforts and discoveries to prevent and / or treat disease. For example, anger or discomfort may be caused by inflammation in the mammal such as dermatitis, ophthalmia, enteritis, and the like. Additionally, chronic inflammation is generally believed to increase the risk of othe...
