Abstract:
The present application includes a method for improving human and animal health comprising administering an effective amount of a linus cyclopeptide (LCP) extract from flaxseed to a subject in need thereof. Also included are feeds, foodstuffs, functional food compositions, natural product compositions nutraceuticals and food additive compositions comprising an LCP extract from flaxseed.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides a process of obtaining a simplified flax extract by water extraction followed by mechanical extraction. The disclosure further provides compositions comprising the flax extract produced by the process and methods and uses thereof for treating parasitic infections and inflammatory conditions.
Abstract:
The present application pertains to compositions for enhancing or controlling the germination of seeds. The compositions comprise i) a transition metal catalyst such as nanoparticulate catalyst bearing one or more transition metals, a carbon nanotube impregnated with Fe, Cu, Mo, Rh or Co, or a transition metal salt (FeSO4, CuSO4 or a cobalt salt) and ii) an oxidant such as hydrogen peroxide. The composition may further comprise a buffer. Methods of enhancing or controlling the germination of seeds using the composition are also disclosed.
