Abstract: A process for production and extraction of dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) relates to the biotransformation of R-lipoic acid to dihydrolipoic acid. The process ferments the lipoic acid with bacteria selected from the genus of any of the following bacteria: Lactobacillus, Enterococcus, Pediococcus, or Bacillus. More particularly the present invention relates to a method for the extraction of DHLA utilizing a non-traditional solvent system, namely a food oil. Generally the DHLA that is produced in the present method is isolated from cells which have been inactivated or killed.

Abstract: A method for producing naturally derived beneficial compounds including dispersing a microbiological culture media including at least one live probiotic organism, and at least one nutraceutical and/or at least one nutritive agent in distilled water to form a broth, incubating the broth at a predetermined temperature for a select period of time to induce probiotic activity; halting the probiotic activity, and separating the desired compound from the broth.

Abstract: A stabilized dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) compound is provided. The stabilized DHLA is derived from a microbiological culture media including at least one live probiotic organism, R-lipoic acid and at least one nutritive agent. The stabilized DHLA may be prepared by dispersing the microbiological media in distilled water to form a broth, incubating the broth at a predetermined temperature for a select period of time to induce probiotic activity, adding organic ethanol to the broth to halt the probiotic activity, and separating the derived stabilized DHLA from the broth.
