  • Publication number: 20200383353
    Abstract: Methods for sustainably producing a pet food product and the pet food products thereby produced include formulating a pet food product by replacing all or part of fish oil in a pet food product composition with a single microbial source of eicosapentaenoic acid (“EPA”) and docosahexaenoic acid (“DHA”). In a preferred embodiment, the microbial source comprising DHA and EPA derives from a microorganism/microbe of the genus Schizochytrium or Thraustochytrium.

  • Publication number: 20200383356
    Abstract: Dehydration and drying are some of the oldest methods of preserving food and other biological materials such as proteins and both live and dead live microorganisms or their metabolites. The invention disclosed herein seeks a method of further improving the process of preserving biological material by combining the freezing or freeze-drying process with a partial infrared dehydration step. By using infrared radiation energy to perform simultaneous blanching and dehydration, the drying speed is greatly increased and better cellular and molecular integrity is maintained. The invention herein is also particularly useful in connection with cannabis and hemp.
