The invention provides a method for brewing a yellow wine using enzyme preparation and multi-bacteria, characterized in that: the concrete steps are that: soaking glutinous rice in clean water and adding lipase; steaming the glutinous rice and cooling, and adding alpha-amylase and neutral protease into the mixture and incubating and liquefying the mixture; adjusting the pH of mash and adding acid-resistant glucoamylase and incubating, saccharifying and cooling the mixture; adding bran koji, saccharomyces cerivisiae, ester-producing yeast and saccharifying and fermenting the mixture until the alcohol content is 12 degrees; continuously fermenting the mixture until the alcohol content is larger than 15 degrees and squeezing and filtering the mixture; adding stachyose, oligoisomaltose, honey,medlar leach solution and lycopene antioxidant into the filtered solution; processing the above mixture using a microwave alcoholic ripening machine and adding diatomite absorbent into the mixture and quickly freezing the mixture to clarify the mixture and then using a diatomite filter machine to filter the mixture and finally using membrane micro-straining technology to strain and degerm the product. The advantages of the invention are that: the wine taste is rich and strong; the wine body is full and soft and the wine is a health-care wine capable of adjusting the micro-ecological balance of the human digestive system.

Disclosed is a method of reducing the risk or severity of retinopathy of prematurity in preterm infants. The method comprises (a) measuring skin carotenoid levels in preterm infants, preferably by Raman Spectroscopy, and then (b) administering supplemental carotenoids to those infants in need thereof, wherein the supplemental carotenoids comprise lutein, lycopene, beta-carotene, and zeaxanthin. The supplemental carotenoids may be provided by an infant formula comprising, on a ready-to-feed basis, from about 100 to about 2000 mcg / liter of total carotenoids, wherein the total carotenoids include at least about 50 mcg / liter of lutein. The formulas may further comprise docosahexaenoic acid.

An oral composition, suitable as a hypoglycemic agent, includes an isolate from the leaves of Gymnema sylvestre, having a specified molecular weight. The isolate has a molecular weight at least about 3000 Daltons as determined by molecular weight cut-off filtration. Glucose metabolism in a human patient can be regulated by dosage forms that contain the aforesaid isolate from the leaves of Gymnema sylvestre, in combination with a non-metabolizable, water-swellable polysaccharide such as the exudate of Sterculia urens, and a water-soluble polysaccharide such as guar gum. Optionally, the present oral compositions can include a physiologically acceptable calcium source, a physiologically acceptable metal carbonate salt, a physiologically acceptable chromium salt, and / or a physiologically acceptable vanadium compound. In addition, antioxidants such as ascorbic acid, cholecalciferol, d-α-tocopherol, the carotenoids, lycopene, lutein, and the like, can be included as well. The present compositions are useful for amelioration of cholesterolemia, obesity, chronic complications of diabetes and prophylaxis for patients predisposed to the foregoing.

The invention discloses a recombinant bacterium for producing beta-carotene as well as a construction method and application of the recombinant bacterium. The construction method comprises the following steps: respectively constructing superstrong gene expression modules of protein phytoene synthetase / lycopene cyclase coded by beta-carotene synthetic genes optimized by codons, phytoene dehydrogenase, protein geranyl diphosphate synthase coded by MAV (micro aerial vehicle) pathway genes and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase; assembling the gene expression modules in vitro, so as to obtain four plasmids of the gene expression modules, integrating the plasmids into a host bacteria genome which does not produce beta-carotene and screening orange single colonies, so as to obtain the recombinant bacterium for producing beta-carotene. The recombinant bacterium disclosed by the invention is adopted for producing beta-carotene by fermental cultivation, and the yield of beta-carotene can reach 26.03mg / g DCW. Therefore, the recombinant bacterium has high performance of producing beta-carotene.

The present invention provides recombinant DNA comprising a transcription promoter and a downstream sequence to be expressed, in operable linkage therewith, wherein the transcription promoter comprises a region found upstream of the open reading frame of a highly expressed Phaffia gene, preferably a glycolytic pathway gene, more preferably the gene coding for Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase. Further preferred recombinant DNAs according to the invention contain promoters of ribosomal protein encoding genes, more preferably wherein the transcription promoter comprises a region found upstream of the open reading frame encoding a protein as represented by one of the amino acid sequences depicted in any one of SEQIDNOs: 24 to 50.
