Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for the determination of processing influences on the quality of feedstuff raw materials and/or feedstuffs, in which the processing conditions indicator of the of feedstuff raw materials and/or feedstuffs is determined and the specific digestibility coefficient of an amino acid of a feedstuff raw material and/or feedstuff in an animal species is determined. The present invention also relates to a process for the optimization of feedstuffs considering the determined processing influences and the thus obtained and/or obtainable feedstuffs.
Abstract:
Covers for sealing and/or bonding with an exposed surface of an animal feed within a container include a flexible film that conforms to the animal feed and a rigid or semi-rigid layer that allows the cover to be handled by an operator during placement of the cover over the animal feed composition while the composition is at elevated temperatures. The polymer film may include a heat-activated coating that establishes a bond with the animal feed when the feed is at elevated temperatures or when an external heat source is applied to the cover. The heat-activated coating may be flowable at a temperature of at least about 125 °F (52 °C). Upon placement of the cover over the animal feed, the film conforms to the exposed surface of the feed and the cover forms a seal with the animal feed as flowable coating reaches a flowable temperature.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method for preparing a fermented composition, and more specifically, to a method for preparing a fermented composition with improved odor, which comprises preparing grain flour; performing primary fermentation of the grain flour using yeast; performing secondary fermentation of the primary fermented product using a strain of the genus Bacillus; and obtaining the secondary fermented product. The fermented composition of the present disclosure has a high content of a peptide with a low molecular weight, and thus enables the increase of digestibility and absorption rate of proteins during ingestion while also improving the peculiar odor of a fermented product to enhance its palatability.
Abstract:
The present invention includes compositions and drying methods for preserving sensitive bioactive materials, such as peptides, proteins, hormones, nucleic acids, antibodies, drugs vaccines, yeast, bacteria (probiotic or otherwise), viruses and/or cell suspensions, in storage. The compositions include a carbohydrates component and a glass enhancer component, wherein the carbohydrate component includes a mixture of di-, oligo- and polysaccharides and the glass enhancer includes ions of organic acid and protein hydrolysates. The composition is prepared by dispersing all the solid components in a solution and then snap-frozen to form small beads, strings or droplets. The preferred drying method of the frozen beads, strings or droplets is initiated by a short purging and structure stabilizing step of the frozen particles under a vacuum pressure of less than 2000 mTORR and at a desired temperature. During the secondary and final drying step of the material a full vacuum pressure and elevated temperature are applied, to achieve a final desirable water activity of the dry material.
