International Classification:

G01N 3014

US Classification:

436161, 436 63, 436 71, 436 86, 436 94, 436174, 436178

Abstract:

A chemical analysis method for determining chemically related differences between subject biological material such as genetically modified plant material and control biological material such as genetically unmodified plant material, which method includes at least the following six steps. The first step is to contact the subject biological material with a fluid extractant, such as a mixture of water, isopropanol and potassium hydroxide, to produce a fluid extract of the subject biological material. The second step is to contact the control biological material with the fluid extractant to produce a fluid extract of the control biological material. The third step is to chromatograph the fluid extract of the subject biological material, for example, gas or fluid chromatography, to produce a chromatogram of the fluid extract of the subject biological material. The fourth step is to chromatograph the fluid extract of the control biological material to produce a chromatogram of the fluid extract of the control biological material. The fifth step is to determine the differences between the chromatograms, for example, by using the method of U. S. Pat. No.

International Classification:

A61K 31/717
A61P 3/06

US Classification:

514 57

Abstract:

Provided are food products comprising at least 0.5 g of trans fatty acid per serving and at least 1.33 weight percent of one or more water-soluble cellulose derivatives, based on the total weight of the food product, methods of ameliorating the harmful effects of trans fatty acids on a mammal that has consumed trans fatty acids, and methods of reducing the amount of trans fatty acids capable of being absorbed by a mammal ingesting a trans fatty acid containing food product.

International Classification:

A61K 31/717
A61P 3/00

US Classification:

514 57

Abstract:

Provided are food products comprising at least 0.5 g of trans fatty acid per serving and one or more water-insoluble cellulose derivatives in an amount sufficient to reduce absorption of the trans fatty acid by a mammal consuming the food product, methods of ameliorating the harmful effects of trans fatty acids on a mammal that has consumed trans fatty acids, and methods of reducing the amount of trans fatty acids capable of being absorbed by a mammal ingesting a trans fatty acid containing food product.
