                        Bovine lactoferrin is a protein that occurs naturally in cows’ milk. It is an iron-binding glycoprotein of approximately 77 kDa and consists of a single polypeptide chain of 689 amino acids.
                     
                     
                        Production process: Bovine lactoferrin is isolated from skimmed milk or cheese whey via ion exchange and subsequent ultra-filtration steps. Finally it is dried by freeze drying or spraying and the large particles are sieved out. It is a virtually odourless, light pinkish powder.

                        The Ice Structuring Protein (ISP) preparation is a light-brown liquid produced by submerged fermentation of a genetically-modified strain of food-grade baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) in which a synthetic gene for the ISP has been inserted into the yeast’s genome. The protein is expressed and secreted into the growth medium where it is separated from the yeast cells by micro-filtration and concentrated by ultra-filtration. As a result, the yeast cells are not transferred into the ISP preparation as such or under an altered form. The ISP preparation consists of native ISP, glycosylated ISP and proteins and peptides from the yeast and sugars as well as acids and salts commonly found in food. The concentrate is stabilised with 10 mM citric acid buffer.

                        The Lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) is processed within 2 hours after harvest. It is chopped and crushed. By passing through an oleaginous-type press, the Lucerne provides a fibrous residue and press juice (10 % of dry matter). The dry matter of this juice contains about 35 % of crude protein. The press juice (pH 5.8-6.2) is neutralised. Preheating and vapour injection allows coagulation of proteins associated with carotenoid and chlorophyll pigments. The protein precipitate is separated by centrifugation and thereafter dried. After adding ascorbic acid the Lucerne protein concentrate is granulated and stored in inert gas or in cold storage.

                        Seeds and skin of the sun-dried fruits of Morinda citrifolia are separated. The obtained pulp is filtered to separate juice from the flesh. Desiccation of the produced juice occurs in one or two ways:
                     
                     
                        Either by atomisation using maize maltodextrins, this mixture is obtained by keeping the rates of inflow of the juice and maltodextrins constant
                     
                     
                        Or by zeodratation or drying and then mixing with an excipient, this process allows the juice to be dried initially and then mixed with maltodextrins (same amount as used in atomisation).

                        The fruits of Morinda citrifolia are harvested by hand. Seeds and skin may be separated mechanically from the pureed fruits. After pasteurisation, the puree is packaged in aseptic containers and stored under cold conditions.
                        Morinda citrifolia concentrate is prepared from M. citrifolia puree by treatment with pectinolytic enzymes (50-60 °C for 1-2 h). Then the puree is heated to inactivate the pectinases and then immediately cooled. The juice is separated in a decanter centrifuge. Afterwards the juice is collected and pasteurised, prior to being concentrated in a vacuum evaporator from a brix of 6 to 8 to a brix of 49 to 51 in the final concentrate.

                        Sucromalt is a complex mixture of saccharides which is produced from sucrose and a starch hydrolysate by means of an enzymatic reaction. In this process, glucose units are attached to saccharides from the starch hydrolysate by means of an enzyme produced by the bacterium Leuconostoc citreum or by means of a recombinant strain of the production organism Bacillus licheniformis. The resulting oligosaccharides are characterised by the presence of α-(1→6) and α-(l→3) glycosidic compounds. The overall product is syrup, in addition to these oligosaccharides, contains mainly fructose but also the disaccharide leucrose and other disaccharides.

                        Method of assay:
                           Principle: trehalose is identified by liquid chromatography and quantified by comparison to a reference standard containing standard trehalose
                           Preparation of sample solution: weigh accurately about 3 g of dry sample into a 100 ml volumetric flask and add about 80 ml of purified, deionised water. Bring sample to complete dissolution and dilute to mark with purified deionised water. Filter through a 0.45 micron filter
                           Preparation of standard solution: dissolve accurately weighed quantities of dry standard reference trehalose in water to obtain a solution having known concentration of about 30 mg of trehalose per ml.
                           Apparatus: liquid chromatography equipped with a refractive index detector and integrating recorder
                        Conditions:

                           Injection volume: 8 μl
                           Procedure: inject separately equal volumes of the sample solution and the standard solution into the chromatograph.
                           Record the chromatograms and measure the size of response of the trehalose peak
                           Calculate the quantity, in mg, of trehalose in 1 ml of the sample solution by the following formula:
                           % trehalose = 100 × (RU/RS) (WS/WU)
                           where
                           RS = peak area of trehalose in the standard preparation
                           RU = peak area of trehalose in the sample preparation
                           WS = weight in mg of trehalose in the standard preparation
                           WU = weight of dry sample in mg
