Claims76
A method of producing a powder comprising an entrapped or encapsulated bioactive and/or bioactive precursor, the method comprising:
- i) obtaining an aqueous mixture comprising protein and carbohydrate from a biomass of a single species of organism;
- ii) adding oil to the aqueous mixture;
- iii) forming an emulsion or suspension comprising the bioactive and/or bioactive precursor;
- and
- iv) forming a powder comprising an entrapped or encapsulated bioactive and/or bioactive precursor from the emulsion or suspension.
A powder comprising an entrapped or encapsulated bioactive and/or bioactive precursor and comprising protein and carbohydrate from a single species of organism.
A method of producing an emulsion or suspension, the method comprising:
- i) obtaining an aqueous suspension comprising protein and carbohydrate from a biomass of a single species of organism;
- ii) optionally adding oil to the aqueous suspension;
- and
- iii) forming an emulsion or suspension comprising a bioactive and/or bioactive precursor.
A matrix comprising protein and carbohydrate from a biomass of a single species of organism.
A bioactive and/or bioactive precursor entrapped or encapsulated in a matrix comprising protein and carbohydrate of a biomass from a single species of organism, wherein the entrapped or encapsulated bioactive and/or bioactive precursor is resistant to oxygen degradation when compared to the bioactive and/or bioactive precursor before entrapment or encapsulation.
A pharmaceutical or cosmetic composition, which comprises an isothiocyanate and/or an isothiocyanate precursor, a lipid, and a pharmaceutical and/or cosmetic excipient.
A method of producing an emulsion comprising an isothiocyanate or isothiocyanate precursor, the method comprising:
- providing a mixture comprising water, a lipid, and an isothiocyanate or isothiocyanate precursor, thereby forming an emulsion.
An emulsion comprising water, a lipid, and an isothiocyanate and/or isothiocyanate precursor.
