Novel marine lipid compositions comprising triglycerides and omega-3 rich phospholipids are described. The compositions are characterized by providing highly bioavailable omega-3, increased tissue incorporation of omega-3 and reduced concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Anti-inflammatory properties of marine lipid compositions

The invention relates to a novel lipid composition. Further, the invention relates to the use of a lipid composition for the treatment, alleviation and prevention of skin problems.

Lipid composition for the prevention or treatment of skin problems

The present invention contemplates the creation of a low fluoride oil processed from a phospholipid-protein complex (PPC) formed immediately upon a (i.e., for example, krill) catch. Further, the oil may also have reduced trimethyl amine and/or trimethyl amino oxide content. The process comprises disintegrating the s into smaller particles, adding water, heating the result, adding enzyme(s) to hydrolyze the disintegrated material, deactivating the enzyme(s), removing solids from the enzymatically processed material to reduce fluoride content of the material, separating and drying the PPC material. Then, using extraction with supercritical COor supercritical dimethyl ether, and/or ethanol as solvents, krill oil, inter alia, is separated from the PPC. In the extraction the krill oil can be separated almost wholly from the feed material.

Method for processing crustaceans to produce low fluoride/low trimethyl amine products thereof

This invention discloses methods of using krill oil and compositions comprising krill oil to treat risk factors for metabolic, cardiovascular, and inflammatory disorders. The present invention also relates to methods of using compositions comprising krill oil to modulate biological processes selected from the group consisting of glucose metabolism, lipid biosynthesis, fatty acid metabolism, cholesterol biosynthesis, and the mitochondria respiratory chain. The present invention further includes pharmaceutical and/or nutraceutical formulations made from krill oil, methods of making such formulations, and methods of administering them to treat risk factors for metabolic, cardiovascular, and inflammatory disorders. Further, a method of reducing appetite in humans by administering a krill oil composition is also disclosed.

Then, using extraction with supercritical COand ethanol as solvents, inter alia krill oil is separated from the PPC. In the extraction the krill oil can be separated almost wholly from the feed material. The products have low fluoride content. The manufacturing costs in the extraction process are relatively low.

Reduced fluoride crustacean oil compositions

This invention discloses new krill oil compositions characterized by having high amounts of phospholipids, astaxanthin esters and/or omega-3 contents. The krill oils are obtained from krill meal using supercritical fluid extraction in a two stage process. Stage 1 removes the neutral lipid by extracting with neat supercritical COor COplus approximately 5% of a co-solvent. Stage 2 extracts the actual krill oils by using supercritical COin combination with approximately 20% ethanol. The krill oil materials obtained are compared with commercially available krill oil and found to be more bioeffective in a number of areas such as anti-inflammation, anti-oxidant effects, improving insulin resistances and improving blood lipid profile.

Method for processing crustaceans and products thereof

The present invention provides lipid compositions comprising linolenic acid (LA), alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), stearidonic acid (SDA) and gamma linolenic acid (GLA), said LA and ALA in a ratio of about less than 2:1 LA:ALA. The compositions find use in for improving, treating, or preventing a condition selected from the group consisting of: eczema, dry skin, flaky skin, pruritus, pyotraumatic dermatitis, furunculosis, dry paw pads, rough paw pads, chapped paw pads, paw pad durability, dry rhinarium, chapped rhinarium, split claws, brittle claws, rashes, hairless spots, hot spots, symmetrical lupoid onychodystrophy, skin ulceration, skin crusting, reddening of skin between toes, external ear infection, and nutritional dermatosis.

Lipid composition for the treatment of skin problems in companion animals

The invention relates to a method for increasing the concentration of the cis-9, trans-11 isomer of octadecadienoic acid in the milk fat and/or the tissue fat of a ruminant. In the method the ruminant is fed the trans-11 isomer of octadecenoic acid either as such or mixed with other feed, separately or together with other fatty acids.
