    摘要: The present disclosure relates to methods of maintaining sterility of an aseptic work zone of a blow-fill seal operation so that low acid foods may be aseptically processed and packaged. The methods of the present disclosure further provide for maintain the sterility of the aseptic work zone such that the aseptic work zone does not have to be enclosed in a separate sterile environment during the blow fill seal process. The methods of the present disclosure further provide a sterilization procedure that is compliant with FDA regulations related to the aseptic packaging of low acid food products. Further disclosed, are methods for producing a hermetically sealed container containing a low acid food product.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a lipid source for nutritional compositions, comprising an enriched lipid fraction which comprises structured fat globules. The enriched lipid fraction provides fat globules having a desired size and fatty acid composition and may be stabilized by components such as phospholipids, cholesterol, milk-fat globule membrane protein and combinations thereof. Additionally, the disclosure relates to methods of supporting lipid digestion in a pediatric subject by providing a nutritional composition comprising an enriched lipid fraction having structured fat globules that are more accessible to lipases. The chemical composition, size and structure of the fat globules may improve digestion. The disclosed nutritional compositions may provide additive and or/synergistic beneficial health effects.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates generally to device comprising a scaffold, a scoop leveler and a scoop. The device may be manufactured in one or two pieces, by, e.g., injection molding. The device can be placed into a container where it is retained toward the top of the container. The container can be filled with flowable product, e.g., a granular substance such as a powder. The device's position toward the top of the container allows the device to stay above the product so that the scoop is easily located by a user.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to nutritional compositions that include at least one ceramide. The nutritional compositions may further include galactose, sialic acid, or cholesterol. Ceramide and galactose may be provided by a plant-based source. The nutritional composition including ceramide and galactose from a plant base source may reduce the risk of cross-contaminating the nutritional composition with animal-based protein allergens. These plant-based ceramides and galactose may exhibit additive or synergistic beneficial health effects when consumed. The disclosure further relates to methods of reducing the incidence of skin rash caused by an allergy or promoting brain and eye health in a target subject by providing a nutritional composition comprising ceramides, galactose, sialic acid, and cholesterol to targeted subjects.
