Abstract: The present teachings disclose a process for producing a safe and preserved food. The process includes: (i) introducing a non-live-bacteria preparation on or in a food to produce an activated food, and the non-live-bacteria preparation results from fermentation of fermented bacteria, but the non-live-bacteria preparation is substantially depleted of the fermented bacteria, and the fermented bacteria are bacteria that are living; and (ii) incubating the activated food in presence of the non-live-bacteria preparation to kill and/or inhibit growth of pathogens and/or spoilage microorganisms on and/or in the activated food and thereby producing the safe and preserved food; and wherein the fermented bacteria is anti-pathogen bacteria and/or anti-spoilage bacteria.

Abstract: A process for producing a combiomic complex is disclosed. The process includes: (i) obtaining a pre-combiomic mixture, which includes at least one non-adhered bacteria and/or yeast and at least one non-adhered prebiotic; and (ii) treating at least some of the pre-combiomic mixture to form a combiomic mixture, which comprises a combiomic complex that includes at least one bacteria and/or yeast adhered to at least one prebiotic.

Abstract: The present teachings disclose a topical application composition. The topical application composition includes: (1) a non-fermenting bacteria that is in a substantially non-fermenting state and is produced from fermentation of the bacteria; (2) a fermentation byproduct produced from the fermentation; and (3) a fluid portion.
