Abstract
An antioxidant composition having enhanced oxidative stability, emulsion stability, and health benefits. The composition may include individual ingredients or a synergistic blend of non-reducing sugars, sugar polyols, medium-chain triglycerides, polysaccharides, polyphenols, phospholipids, chitosan, and alpha-casein, beta-casein, kappa-casein or protein fragments, glycopeptides, phosphopeptides. The composition may optionally be further utilized for the prevention of hypercholesterolemia or bone mineral loss.
Claims35
An antioxidant composition comprising:
- 1) a polycationic chitosan casein phosphopeptide complex and 2) at least one oil rich in Omega-3 or an oil soluble active operable to inhibit oxidation, the at least one oil is selected from the group consisting of vegetable oils and animal oils;
- and the at least one oil soluble active is selected from the group consisting of vitamins, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals and combinations thereof.
An antioxidant composition comprising:
- 1) a polycationic chitosan casein fragment complex immiscible in oil, wherein said casein fragrament is a phosphopeptide, and 2) at least one oil or an oil soluble active operable to inhibit oxidation, wherein said at least one oil is selected from the group consisting of vegetable oils comprising rice bran oil, flax oil, chia oil, hemp oil, castor oil, soybean oil, lesquerella oil, dehydrated castor oil, oil rich in Omega-3, or vegetable oils containing conjugated linoleic acid, and animal oils comprising fish oil, egg oil, poultry oil, and beef oils rich in Omega-3, or animal oils containing conjugated linoleic acid;
- wherein said oil-soluble actives comprise vitamins, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, flavors, or combinations thereof.
An product comprising 1) at least one polycationic chitosan casein phosphopeptide complex, wherein the polycationic chitosan casein phosphopeptide complex imparts at least one function selected from the group consisting of inhibiting oxidation of oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions, preventing bone mineral loss in a mammal, and preventing hypercholesterolemia in a mammal and 2) at least one oil or an oil soluble active operable to inhibit oxidation selected from the group consisting of vegetable oils comprising rice bran oil, flax oil, chia oil, hemp oil, castor oil, soybean oil, lesquerella oil, dehydrated castor oil, oil rich in Omega-3, or vegetable oils containing conjugated linoleic acid, and animal oils comprising fish oil, egg oil, poultry oil, and beef oils rich in Omega-3, or animal oils containing conjugated linoleic acid;
- wherein said oil-soluble actives comprise vitamins, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, flavors, or combinations thereof.
