Appl. No.:

11/329905

Inventors:

Mary A. Walter - Fair Oaks Ranch TX, US
Nick N. Davis - San Antonio TX, US

Assignee:

Mission Pharmacal Co. - Boerne TX
Sterling Foods, Ltd. - San Antonio TX

International Classification:

A23L 1/30

US Classification:

426 73, 426 72, 426 74, 426 94, 426496, 426549, 426622

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to a calcium-enriched chewable baked food product in which at least one piece of the food product provides the recommended daily DRI of elemental calcium. The calcium-enriched baked food product has a mouth feel, texture and taste substantially similar to a non-calcium-enriched baked food product. The food product also provides Vitamin Din a range of 100-2400 IU and optionally may be enrobed with a flavored coating. The present invention is also directed to a method for producing the calcium-enriched food product.

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to an enriched food product, such as a calcium-enriched chewable food product in which at least one piece of the food product provides the recommended daily DRI of elemental calcium. The enriched food product has a mouth feel, texture and taste substantially similar to a non-enriched food product. The food product may also provide Vitamin Din a range of 100-2400 IU and optionally may be enrobed with a flavored coating. The present invention is also directed to a method for producing the enriched food product.

Appl. No.:

09/812254

Inventors:

Mary Walter - San Antonio TX, US
Neil Leatherbury - San Antonio TX, US
Mark Niederauer - San Antonio TX, US

International Classification:

A61F002/28

US Classification:

623/023580, 623/023630

Abstract:

This invention provides molded, biodegradable porous polymeric implant materials having a pore size distribution throughout the material which is substantially uniform. These materials can be molded into implants of any desired size and shape without loss of uniformity of pore size distribution. The implants are useful as biodegradable scaffolds for cell growth in healing of tissue defects. Particulate implant materials are provided, especially useful as autologous bone graft materials.

C07C 43/30

US Classification:

514715, 568591

Abstract:

Compounds are provided herein which are coordination complexes of the formula, ABCitF.mHO, wherein A is a cation selected from certain IA or IIA metal ions in the Periodic Table; B is a cation selected from certain IIA metal ions and certain divalent d-block transition metal ions; A and B are different; “Cit” is tribasic citric acid anion; the stoichiometric ratio of x to y is equal or higher than 1.0 but lower than 8.0; m is 0-12; and z is selected such that electroneutrality is preserved. Compounds provided herein are useful to treat dietary deficiencies, osteoporosis, osteopenia, bone loss, and risk of bone loss, as well as other medical conditions involving the need for administration of the various ions. In addition, the compounds can be used as fluoride sources for dental use and to fluoridate water systems.

Assignee:

OsteoBiologics, Inc. - San Antonio TX

International Classification:

A61F 228

US Classification:

623 16

Abstract:

This invention provides molded, biodegradable porous polymeric implant materials having a pore size distribution throughout the material which is substantially uniform. These materials can be molded into implants of any desired size and shape without loss of uniformity of pore size distribution. The implants are useful as biodegradable scaffolds for cell growth in healing of tissue defects. When manufactured to have an aspect ratio greater than about 3, the implants can be further hand-shaped to fit the defect into which they are placed and the desired shape for the regrown tissue.
