The present application relates generally to emulsifiers and methods of production thereof, and specifically to emulsifiers prepared using renewable and/or agricultural products through a physical process. Flour of cereal grains, legumes, or other plant materials contains both protein and carbohydrate, in particular starch. The preparation procedure of flour emulsifier contains physical processing, including but not limited to specifically designed heating, milling, or the combinations of both. Emulsions of lipophilic materials are prepared using flour emulsifiers. The emulsions formed can be further dehydrated using spray drying, drum drying, freeze drying, vacuum drying, or other drying methods. The emulsions prepared using flour emulsifiers as well as their dehydrated products show enhanced stability against physical and chemical deteriorations as compared with those prepared using conventional emulsifiers, such as octenylsuccinate starch and gum arabic.

Compositions including a highly branched alpha-D-glucan or modified forms thereof and a solute compound are described herein. The compositions can provide increased water solubility and/or increased rate of dissolution for the solute compound. The compositions can also provide increased stability for the solute compound. Methods for preparing and using compositions including a solute compound and a highly branched alpha-D-glucan are also described.
A61K 31/192 - Carboxylic acids, e.g. valproic acid having aromatic groups, e.g. sulindac, 2-aryl-propionic acids, ethacrynic acid
A61K 31/343 - Heterocyclic compounds having oxygen as the only ring hetero atom, e.g. fungichromin having five-membered rings with one oxygen as the only ring hetero atom, e.g. isosorbide condensed with a carbocyclic ring, e.g. coumaran, bufuralol, befunolol, clobenfurol, amiodarone

Phytoglycogen-based compositions, materials and methods
The present invention provides methods for treating phytoglycogen-containing materials to generate phytoglycogen compositions with enhanced emulsification attribute. One method comprises contacting a phytoglycogen-containing material with at least one protease. The other method comprises heat treatment of a phytoglycogen-containing material, such as corn kernels. The two methods can be applied independently, or can be applied in combination. Applications of phytoglycogen compositions are also included.
A23L 1/105 - Fermentation of farinaceous cereal or cereal material; Addition of enzymes or micro-organisms (A23L 1/16, A23L 1/185, A23L 1/238 take precedence);;
A61K 8/97 - Cosmetics or similar toiletry preparations characterised by the composition containing materials, or derivatives thereof, of undetermined constitution from derivatives thereof
