摘要:
A method is provided for fermenting and dehydrating food items such as nuts and seeds to create novel postbiotic foods with numerous benefits. The method comprises preparing a brine solution and adding it with the food item, a sugar product, and select live bacteria cultures to a fermentation vessel. The vessel ferments for 10-14 days at 60-64° F. until a pH of 3.3-4.0 is achieved. The food item is strained, placed on dehydrator trays, and dried at two temperatures to reduce moisture. The process increases nutrition, digestibility, gut health, and safety by reducing antinutrients, agricultural pollutants, toxins, and pathogens by over 5 logs, exceeding pasteurization requirements. The dehydrated food can be packaged or further processed into items like nut butters. The method generates durable, functional nutrition without damaging heat or chemicals.
摘要:
A method for pasteurizing/sanitizing/sterilizing a food product to reduce the microbial load thereof, including the steps of: (1) providing a food product, wherein the food product comprises a plant seed and/or an aqueous plant seed medium; (2) optionally fermenting the food product; (3) controllably exposing the food product to ultra-high-temperature processing for a period of time; and (4) at least one of pasteurizing, sanitizing, and sterilizing the food product without materially altering the flavor profile and/or the nutritional profile of the food product.
摘要:
In a state where food ingredients, degradative enzymes, and liquid seasonings are housed and sealed in a hard vessel, it has become possible to develop food products packaged in the hard vessel for normal temperature distribution or chilled distribution by a method of carrying out all of the steps inside the hard vessel, which method comprises carrying out an enzyme impregnation step and an enzymatic reaction step by heating and carrying out an enzyme deactivation step and sterilization step by continuous heating; or by a method of carrying out, after introducing the degradative enzyme into the food ingredient, some steps of enzymatic reaction step, enzyme deactivation step, and sterilization step inside the hard vessel.
摘要:
Biologically pure cultures of Bacillus subtilis Maseca-1 strain were isolated from the pericarp of nixtamalized corn. The Bacillus Maseca-1 strain was characterized and found to produce peptides and/or other compounds that have antimicrobial activity. An extract prepared from the Bacillus Maseca-1 strain is active against microorganisms such as bacteria and mold and may be used as an agent to inhibit the growth of undesirable microorganisms and thereby prevent spoilage and extend the shelf life in foods.

The present invention provides a bacterial microorganism, Ochrobactrum anthropi, having the ability to degrade or detoxify moniliformin or structurally related mycotoxins. The present invention further provides a method for detoxification of grain pre- or post-harvest using Ochrobactrum anthropi having the ability to degrade or detoxify moniliformin or derivatives or analogs of moniliformin.
摘要:
The invention comprises two grain conditioners. The first grain conditioner, which is suitable for use on all grains, comprises a pectinase, a protease, a beta-glucanase and an amylase. The second grain conditioner, which is designed for use on easier-to-digest grains, comprises a pectinase, a beta-glucanase, an amylase and a hemicellulase. The invention also comprises animal feeds which comprise a grain which has been conditioned with one of the grain conditioners of the invention designed to be effective on that grain and methods of increasing the weight gain and feed utilization efficiency of an animal comprising feeding the novel animal feeds of the invention to the animal. The invention further comprises a method of conditioning a grain which comprises providing the grain, contacting the grain with one of the grain conditioners of the invention designed to be effective on that grain and incubating the grain and grain conditioner together for at least about 30 minutes. Finally, there is also provided another method of conditioning a grain comprising providing the grain, scarifying the grain, contacting the grain with one of the grain conditioners of the invention designed to be effective on that grain and incubating the grain and grain conditioner for at least about 30 minutes.
摘要:
The present invention is drawn to processes for biologically controlling postharvest disease in fruit using isolates of Pichia guilliermondii having the identifying characteristics of NRRL Y-18313, NRRL Y-18314, and NRRL Y-18654. The organisms were isolated from the surface of citrus fruits and are useful to control a variety of fruit-rot pathogens in a variety of fruits. Also disclosed is a biologically pure culture of at least one isolate of Pichia guilliermondii having the identifying characteristics of an isolate selected from the group consisting of NRRL Y-18313, NRRL Y-18314, and NRRL Y-18654.
摘要:
Foods that are fermented with synergistic and simultaneous use of bacilli and mycelial cultures. The foods include a cellulosic food substrate containing detectable amounts of 1,3/1,6 β-glucan which has been fermented by a bacilli strain of bacteria in cooperation with mycelium of a strain of Agaricomycetes fungi including polyporales. The bacilli strain maintains the food substrate at a pH of less than 4.7 to inhibit growth of pathogenic microbes and the consequent need to sterilize the food substrate in a sterile environment prior to fermentation by the mycelial culture.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the use of an exoamylase in retarding deterioration of mouthfeel and texture flexibility (softness) in food products comprising animal protein and a starch component.
摘要:
A method for treating a food processing facility by inoculating a food processing facility with an amount of non-spoilage and non-pathogenic bacteria to competitively inhibit the growth of pathogenic and spoilage bacteria, and in particular, a facility that processes food such as dairy products, fruit, vegetables, grains and meat from poultry, beef, pork, lamb, fish and seafood.
