摘要:
The present invention concerns a method for preparing an animal digest having enhanced palatability, comprising: a) providing animal viscera; b) contacting said animal viscera with at least one alkaline endopeptidase in an appropriate amount; c) allowing said alkaline endopeptidase to hydrolyze said animal viscera for a suitable period of time; d) thermally treating the thus obtained digest product to inactivate said alkaline endopeptidase; and e) obtaining said animal digest having an appropriate degree of hydrolysis and exhibiting enhanced palatability. The present invention also relates to animal digests having enhanced palatability that are obtainable by such a method, and uses thereof for preparing pet food having enhanced palatability.

摘要:
Methods are provided for pelletizing a microbial biomass, extracting a refined lipid composition from the pelletized biomass under supercritical conditions and distilling the refined lipid composition, at least once under short path distillation conditions, to obtain a lipid-containing fraction. Also disclosed are methods of making lipid-containing oil concentrates therefrom, by transesterifying and enriching the lipid-containing fraction.
