  • Samples were agitated using manual tapping as the agitation method and agitated for five minutes. Agitation cycles were repeated until the weight of the test sieved did not change by more than 5% of the previous weight on that sieve. Particle size results were disregarded if particles were observed to be aggregated after agitation and testing was repeated.

  • the solid is being dispersed with the solvent and stirred for one hour, preferably two hours and more preferably three hours and separation can be achieved using a variety of filtration techniques including but not limited to basket centrifuge, bowl centrifuge, decanter, etc., the solids are being washed more than once, preferably twice, more preferably three times and most preferably four times.
  • the obtained powder PS is dried using one of the following non-limiting technologies: vacuum oven, spray dryer, drum dryer, double cone dryer, paddle dryer, etc. and milled, optionally in one of the following non-limiting examples: Pin mill, Hammer mill, Cone mill, Jet mill, Boll mill, etc.
  • the obtained PS powder is going through a sieving stage using one of the following non limiting technologies: air classifier, vibrating sieve, sifter, etc. to obtain PS powder preparation with predetermined particle size.
  • powder PS is being sieved using 500 microns screen, preferably 400 microns screen, more preferably 350 microns or 300 microns, even more preferably 250 microns or 200 microns and most preferably 150 microns.
  • the invention provides a method of improving general health, cognitive functions and/or development, and/or improving and/or preventing a condition in a subject suffering from a cognitive disease or disorder comprising administering to a subject in need thereof the PS preparation of the invention.
  • the invention further provides a use of a preparation of the invention for the manufacture of a nutraceutical or a medical food for improving a condition in a subject suffering from a cognitive disease or disorder.
  • cognitive disease or disorder should be understood to encompass any cognitive disease or disorder.
  • Non-limiting examples of such a cognitive disease or disorder are Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, age-associated memory impairment, learning disorders, amnesia, mild cognitive impairment, cognitively impaired non-demented, pre-Alzheimer's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, pre-dementia syndrome, dementia, age related cognitive decline, cognitive deterioration, moderate mental impairment, mental deterioration as a result of aging, conditions that influence the intensity of brain waves and/or brain glucose utilization, stress, anxiety, depression, behavior disorders, concentration and attention impairment, mood deterioration, general cognitive and mental well-being, neurodegenerative disorders, hormonal disorders or any combinations thereof.
  • the cognitive disorder is memory impairment.
  • the term “improving a condition in a subject suffering from a cognitive disease or a cognitive disorder” as used herein should be understood to encompass: ameliorating undesired symptoms associated with a disease, disorder, or pathological condition; preventing manifestation of symptoms before they occur; slowing down progression of a disease or disorder; slowing down deterioration of a disease or disorder; slowing down irreversible damage caused in a progressive (or chronic) stage of a disease or disorder; delaying onset of a (progressive) disease or disorder; reducing severity of a disease or disorder; curing a disease or disorder; preventing a disease or disorder from occurring altogether (for example in an individual generally prone to the disease) or a combination of any of the above.
  • lipid preparation of the invention For example, in a subject suffering from memory impairment, for example as a result of Alzheimer's Disease, symptoms including deterioration of spatial short-term memory, memory recall and/or memory recognition, focused and sustained attention, learning, executive functions and/or mental flexibility are improved by use of a lipid preparation of the invention.
  • the PS preparation of the invention is dry blended with a powder nutraceutical prior to mixing the nutraceutical with water.
  • the powder PS of the invention is blended with water based nutraceutical.
  • the PS preparation is being added to chewable matrix, such as candy or gummy.
  • Sieving sample No. 1 production of sample No. 2. Sample No. 1 was sieved through 250 microns screen to obtain powder in which 97% (w/w) of the powder had particle size of 250 microns or less.
  • sample No. 1 Purification of sample No. 1 using alcohol solvents (production of sample No. 3). 10 gr from sample No. 1 (before drying) were dispersed in 40 ml ethanol and the solution was stirred for 30 minutes. The solution was filtered through a Buchner filter to separate between the solids and filtrate. The solids were collected from the filter and the same process was repeated two more times. Wet solids were dried in a vacuum dryer to obtain dry PS powder. Dry powder was milled together with 2% silicon dioxide to obtain free flowing powder in which more than 20% (w/w) of the powder had particle size above 500 microns.
  • the oil was mixed with 500 ml of ethanol for 30 minutes and filtered through a Buchner filter in order to create powder.
  • the cake was collected and re-washed with additional 500 ml. The re-wash was repeated once more in the same manner.
  • Wet solids were dried in a vacuum dryer to obtain dry PS powder. Dry powder was milled together with 2% silicon dioxide to obtain free flowing powder in which more than 20% (w/w) of the powder had particle size above 500 microns.
  • Gummies were produced using conventional methods as described in Handbook of food science, technology and engineering, volume 3, Chapter 140 page 26. PS powder dispersed in water was added prior to the gelation of the pectin (just before the addition of citric acid).
