Disclosed are nutritional compositions having a solid crisp matrix, or a flour derived from the solid crisp matrix, said matrix comprising (A) from about 10% to about 50% by weight of a soluble viscous fiber, preferably guar; (B) from about 10% to about 99% by weight of a carbohydrate other than and in addition to the soluble viscous fiber; and (C) from about 1% to about 49% by weight of protein, wherein the matrix has a bulk density of less than about 0.4 g/cc. It has been found that soluble viscous fiber sources such as guar gum can be formulated into a solid crisp matrix, which then minimizes several limitations commonly associated with the formulation of such fiber sources into a conventional nutrition bar, e.g. slimy mouthfeel, tooth packing. These compositions are especially effective when formulated with gelled inclusions, including those containing or associated with acidulants, sour flavorants, or both. The nutritional compositions are especially useful as satiety agents, weight reduction agents, and/or for blunting the postprandial glycemic response in diabetics or other individuals in whom such a response would be beneficial.

A method comprising selection of unbroken whole grain rice that are first washed, or whole grain corn that is first reduced in size, and then making an aqueous slurry that is subsequently wet milled to release all the protein, fat, fiber, and starch components normally held in the structure of the grain. The resulting slurry can be reacted with heat to gelatinize the starch and the subsequent product dried. Also, the heated slurry containing the liberated components can be treated to enzymatic hydrolysis via the process of liquefaction and optionally saccharification, producing whole grain rice milk products having diverse carbohydrate compositions. The whole grain milk products are characterized by a nutritional composition containing substantially all the nutritional components of the whole grain, being an opaque whole milk colloid, having smooth texture versus pulpiness, lacking in all bitterness normally associated with whole grain products, and having a variety of sweetness levels from non-sweet to very sweet.

The subject invention relates to the identification of several genes involved in the elongation of polyunsaturated acids (i.e., "elongases") and to uses thereof. At least two of these genes are also involved in the elongation of monounsaturated fatty acids. In particular, elongase is utilized in the conversion of gamma linolenic acid (GLA) to dihomogamma linolenic acid (DGLA) and in the conversion of AA to adrenic acid (ADA), or eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) to omega3-docosapentaenoic acid (DPA). DGLA may be utilized in the production of polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as arachidonic acid (AA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), EPA, adrenic acid, omega6-docosapentaenoic acid or omega3-docosapentaenoic acid which may be added to pharmaceutical compositions, nutritional compositions, animal feeds, as well as other products such as cosmetics.

The beverage uses fruit and vegetable nutrient components of the raw materials for mutual promotion and mutual complementation to synergistically improve nutritional value of the whole beverage, and is fermented with three kinds of bacteria so that fruit and vegetable nutrients and beneficial metabolites of probiotics are preserved, making the beverage has effects in conditioning stomach and intestine, improving digestion and absorption, strengthening physical fitness, enhancing immunity, improving resistance, eliminating free radicals, delaying aging, preventing cancers, maintaining beauty and preserving countenance and controlling weight.

A “Food Logger” provides various approaches for learning or training one or more image-based models (referred to herein as “meal models”) of nutritional content of meals. This training is based on one or more datasets of images of meals in combination with “meal features” that describe various parameters of the meal. Examples of meal features include, but are not limited to, food type, meal contents, portion size, nutritional content (e.g., calories, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, protein, salt, etc.), food source (e.g., specific restaurants or restaurant chains, grocery stores, particular pre-packaged foods, school meals, meals prepared at home, etc.). Given the trained models, the Food Logger automatically provides estimates of nutritional information based on automated recognition of new images of meals provided by (or for) the user. This nutritional information is then used to enable a wide range of user-centric interactions relating to food consumed by individual users.
