Disclosed are compns. for dispersion of a fat-sol. vitamin to give a clear, stable soln. of the vitamin, the compns. comprising the vitamin, an alc., a surfactant, and water. Also disclosed are dried powder compns. comprising a fat-sol. vitamin which upon mixing with an aq. soln. form an isotropic transparent soln., said compns. comprising the vitamin, an oil, a surfactant, and a sugar alc.

The present invention discloses the use of a lycopene coated with a water non-sol. thin film comprising amphiphilic protein polymer for coloring with red color, foods, pharmaceuticals or cosmetics having fat and/or oil contents higher than 5 %. The invention further discloses a process for the prepn. of stable lycopene formulation comprising: (a) treating an isolated protein to form a protein in a mol. form; (b) dispersing lycopene in an aq. soln. comprising an isolated protein in a mol. form; (c) grinding said dispersion to form lycopene particle size of 1 to 10 $μ$m forming an homogenized mixt. comprising fine particles; and optionally (d) drying the homogenized mixt.

The present invention relates to lamotrigine, a useful agent for anti-epilepsia. New crystal forms of lamotrigine-contg. mols. of the solvent in stoichiometric ratios are disclosed. Processes for prepg. the new crystal forms of lamotrigine and dosage forms are also provided. For example, 2 g of lamotrigine anhyd. and about 80 mL of ethanol were charged in a three-necked bottomed round flask equipped with a mech. stirrer, a condenser and a thermometer. The suspension was stirred for about 24 h without heating at about 25° and the solid phase was sepd. by filtration, producing lamotrigine Form H, i.e., lamotrigine ethanol monosolvate.
