Foods containing microalgae biomass with high levels of lipid are disclosed. Examples of foods include sauces, dressings, spreads, mayonnaise, and other edible materials that contain microalgae, where the edible materials are traditionally associated with delivery of saturated fats and oils. Further provided by the invention are such microalgae-containing foods with reduced caloric load compared to traditional foods of the same type, and in various embodiments the novel foods have similar or identical organoleptic properties as full-fat versions of the foods. Also provided are methods of formulating and manufacturing the novel foods and for manufacturing microalgae-based intermediates for manufacturing the same. The novel foods and intermediates can be manufactured using existing fermentation and food processing equipment, and can replace existing food products with healthier microalgae-derived food that have desirable structural and organoleptic properties.

Provided herein are microalgae-containing baked goods with novel properties compared to preexisting products of the same type. Methods of formulating and manufacturing these foods to deliver reduced fat, reduced cholesterol, and increased fiber content are disclosed herein. Various embodiments include elimination or reduction of eggs, butter, animal fat, and saturated oils in favor of healthy oil-containing microalgae biomass and oils, including the manufacture of foods with lower calories than preexisting products of the same type. Methods of producing raw materials for the manufacture of novel processed baked foods and intermediates such as cake and bead mixes are also provided.

A dermatological skin treatment device is provided. The device comprises a handpiece and a cutting tool, wherein the tool is inserted through the conduit and percutaneously inserted into a tissue disposed within a recessed area of the handpiece. The device and method cut the fibrous structures under the skin that cause cellulite at an angle substantially parallel to the surface of the skin and replace these structures with a non-cellulite forming structure by deploying a highly fibrous mesh through a single needle hole to create a highly fibrous layer directly or through wound healing processes.

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for non-invasive reduction of excessive fat tissue by externally applying radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic (EM) waves adjusted to specific fat cells absorption frequency and electromagnetic propagation mode. Based on the performed experiments described further, the method and working apparatus has been invented that reduces fat layers without any medication, non-invasively through the intact skin. The invented method and apparatus facilitates the safe fat removal, and may lead to reduction and eradication of obesity and obesity associated diseases.

A minimally invasive skin treatment system includes a platform having a recessed area on its bottom and one or more injection ports orthogonal to its top, each injection port including a through-hole to the recessed area. The system includes an injection device including a needle slidably disposed in a selective port such that the needle passes into the recessed area and percutaneously through a dermis disposed within the recessed area. A nozzle is configured to discharge a fluid at a high pressure in a direction orthogonal to an axis of the needle and parallel to the top of the platform to cut create a plane of dissection within the subcutaneous tissue.

The present invention relates to compositions, such as bimatoprost, latanoprost and travoprost, and methods to reduce fat in the body of an individual, for example, by topical administration, injection, and/or implantation of such compositions.

This invention is directed to a feed composition and method of affecting the carcass composition by increasing the lean mass, reducing the fat mass, and/or reducing the percent fat mass comprising SARM compounds.

A novel improved process and apparatus is disclosed for producing low oil potato chip products having less than 30 percent by weight oil based on the total weight of an unseasoned chip. The process requires contacting the chip with a brine solution, frying the chip, and concurrently dehydrating and de-oiling the chip with superheated steam in a single unit operation.

Described herein are cryolipolysis devices, systems, and methods for facilitating percutaneous access to a target blood vessel by performing cryolipolysis on subcutaneous adipose tissue obscuring the target blood vessel (e.g., a vessel used for hemodialysis treatment). Generally, the devices include a cooling member carrying a coolant that cools a selected portion of adipose tissue overlying the target blood vessel to reduce the selected portion of adipose tissue, thereby forming a depression in the adipose tissue and allowing the target blood vessel closer to the surface of the skin. In some variations, the cooling member is placed subcutaneously to directly cool the selected portion of adipose tissue. In other variations, the cooling member is placed external to the patient to indirectly cool the selected portion of adipose tissue through the skin.

The invention relates to the use of at least one modulator of aquaporin adipose (AQPap) in a cosmetic composition as slimming agent for reducing the volume of adipocytes and for enhancing the departure of glycerol from the adipocytes. It also relates to cosmetic compositions comprising a combination of at least one agent which modulates aquaporin adipose and of at least one lipolytic active agent.

The invention belongs to the technical field of affinal drug and diet formulas and new resource food, and particularly provides blood fat-reducing medical science formula food, specific medical formula food or non-specific medical formula food. The formula food is prepared by performing reasonable compatibility on multiple affinal drug and diet traditional Chinese medicines according to the traditional Chinese medicine essence theory and mixing drug-diet dual purpose traditional Chinese medicine extract essence extracted through a semi-bionic extraction method, multiple microencapsulated probiotics, oligopeptides extracted through biological enzymolysis, prebiotics, amino acid, carbohydrate, fat with a health-care function, multiple vitamins and mineral substances according to the requirements of a 'special medial-purpose formula food general rule' by combining the constitutive characters of hyperlipidemia patients; the formula food not only can serve as a single nutrition source to meet the nutritional requirement of the hyperlipidemia patients, but also achieves the effects of reducing total cholesterol, reducing serum triglyceride, reducing an atherosclerosis index, reducing blood pressure, reducing blood sugar, reducing fat to lose weight and enhancing the immunity.

A novel device and method for use in providing multiple cosmetic treatments is disclosed, where a sanding tool is provided with sanding surfaces for use in imparting exfoliation, depilation, and cellulite treatments on the skin of a person. Select sanding surfaces are use for each of the exfoliation, depilation and cellulite treatments with the sanding action being generated by the orbital sanding effects of a palm sander. Specifically, a 100 grit (CAMI) sanding paper is used for exfoliation, a 180 grit (AMI) sanding paper is used for depilation, and the sander pad of the sanding tool of the present invention is used directly on the skin for cellulite reduction.

A basket assembly for use with a deep fryer having a lower foraminous basket and an upper foraminous insert which quickly and easily attaches to the lower basket at a predetermined location intermediate the top and bottom of the lower basket to thereby hold the food in place beneath the surface of a hot cooking liquid such as oil. Advantages of the assembly are that it forces foods down to increase the efficiency of flash frying, it provides the ability to cook more than one item at a time while keeping them separated, and it provides a food product which cooks faster because it is unnecessary to turn food which floats to the top, thereby resulting in less fat absorption.

A chocolate composition having a total fat content of 18 to 24.9 wt. % is produced by mixing particles of solid chocolate-making ingredients intimately mixed with at least one fat and emulsifier. To reduce the viscosity of the mixture, (a) not more than 1 wt. % of the particles exceed 60 mum, and (b) not more than 15 wt. % of the particles are less than 2 mum and/or not more than 20 wt. % of the particles are less than 3 mum.
