Safety studies regarding a standardized extract of fermented wheat germ.

"Avemar pulvis" is a powder consisting of an aqueous extract of fermented wheat germ, with the drying aids maltodextrin and silicon dioxide, standardized to contain approximately 200 microg/g of the natural constituent 2,6-dimethoxy-p-benzoquinone. The results of toxicological and clinical studies of this product demonstrate its safety for its intended use as a dietary supplement ingredient in the United States. Avemar pulvis has been used in Hungary since 1998 and is approved in that country, as well as in the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, and Romania, as a "medical nutriment for cancer patients.

Safety aspects regarding the consumption of high-dose dietary diacylglycerol oil in men and women in a double-blind controlled trial in comparison with consumption of a triacylglycerol control oil.

With the approval for use in foods in Japan and the United States, the use of diacylglycerol (DAG) oil in fat-based products may become extensive due to equivalent physicochemical properties to conventional triacylglycerol (TAG) oil. The objective of the present study was to compare the effects of high-dose consumption of DAG oil in humans with that of TAG oil. In a double-blind controlled parallel trial, moderately lean men (n=42) and women (n=39) consumed either DAG or TAG at a dose of approximately 0.
