The present invention comprises a method of achieving ingredient stabilization in a composition comprising the steps of: combining a pregelatinized starch with at least one sensitive ingredient; adsorbing said sensitive ingredient onto the pregelatinized starch; and wherein said sensitive ingredient is evenly distributed throughout said pregelatinized starch.

Composition and method of stabilized sensitive ingredient

An apparatus and method for mixing by producing shear and/or cavitation, and components for the apparatus are disclosed. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a mixing and/or cavitation chamber with an element such as an orifice component that is located adjacent the entrance of the cavitation chamber. The apparatus may further include a blade, such as a knife-like blade, disposed inside the mixing and/or cavitation chamber opposite the orifice component. In one version of such an embodiment, at least some of the portions of the orifice component surrounding the orifice and/or the blade are made of a material or materials that have a Vickers hardness of greater than or equal to about 20 GPa. A process for mixing by producing shear and/or cavitation in a fluid is also contemplated herein.

Apparatus and method for mixing by producing shear and/or cavitation, and components for apparatus

The present disclosure provides compositions comprising an extracted portion of psyllium seed in combination with one or more of a binder, suspending agent, or edible acid. In particular, the present invention is directed to compositions comprising: The present compositions are useful for the treatment of a variety of benefits, including providing treatment for gastrointestinal conditions or providing other gastrointestinal benefits.

Compositions comprising a defined polysaccharide component

The present disclosure provides compositions comprising a plurality of agglomerates comprising a polysaccharide component comprising xylose and arabinose, wherein the ratio of xylose to arabinose is at least about 3:1, by weight; wherein the compositions further comprise: In another embodiment, the disclosure provides compositions comprising a plurality of polysaccharide particles, wherein the polysaccharide particles comprise a polysaccharide component comprising xylose and arabinose, wherein the ratio of the xylose to the arabinose is at least about 3:1, by weight, and wherein the polysaccharide particles have a mean particle size distribution of from about 0.001 microns to about 150 microns, wherein the polysaccharide particles each, independently, comprise: The present compositions are useful for the treatment of a variety of benefits, including providing treatment for gastrointestinal conditions or providing other gastrointestinal benefits.

Compositions comprising a polysaccharide component and one or more coating layers

Oral compositions, suitable for chewing, comprising a gel-forming polysaccharide isolated from psyllium seed husks and an excipient that is fast dissolving in the oral cavity, provide good aesthetics and acceptable mouthfeel as perceived by the consumer. The oral compositions are useful for normalizing bowel function, reducing human serum cholesterol levels and treatment of other gastrointestinal disorders.

Chewable compositions containing a gel-forming extract of psyllium

The present disclosure provides compositions comprising an extracted portion of psyllium seed in combination with one or more of a binder or edible acid. In particular, the present invention is directed to compositions comprising a polysaccharide component comprising xylose and arabinose, wherein the ratio of the xylose to the arabinose is at least about 3:1, by weight, and wherein the polysaccharide particles have a mean particle size distribution of from about 0.001 microns to about 150 microns. In a further embodiment, the compositions comprise a plurality of agglomerates comprising the polysaccharide component and a dispersing component selected from binders, suspending agents, edible acids, and mixtures thereof. In yet a further embodiment, the compositions comprise agglomerates comprising a polysaccharide component, wherein the agglomerates have a mean particle size distribution of from about 100 to about 500 microns. The present compositions are useful for the treatment of a variety of benefits, including providing treatment for gastrointestinal conditions or providing other gastrointestinal benefits.

Compositions comprising a plurality of particles or agglomerates having a defined particle size

The present invention relates to improved pharmaceutical compositions containing an analgesic encapsulated within a soft gelatin shell wherein said shell contains a xanthine derivative, such as caffeine.
