Abstract: Coatings for shell eggs improve the strength and shatter resistance of processed eggs. The coatings include food grade natural resins such as shellac, mixtures of paraffin and beeswax, and food grade polymer emulsions such as polyvinyl acetate.

Abstract: Provided herein is a biologically pure culture of Paenibacillus thiaminolyticus, identified as OSY-SE, as well as an antimicrobial agent isolated and/or purified from the culture having any one of SEQ ID NOs:1-3 and 64-66. The disclosure also provides compositions and articles of manufacture comprising an antimicrobial agent and/or the bacterial cell of Paenibacillus thiaminolyticus, identified as OSY-SE. Further provided are methods of use, including methods of affecting microbial activity, methods of inhibiting growth and/or proliferation of a microbe, methods of treating a condition or disease associated with the presence of a microbe, and methods of treating a microbial infection in a subject comprising contacting a microbial cell with at least one active agent of SEQ ID NOs:1-3 and 64-66 and/or the bacterial cell Paenibacillus thiaminolyticus, identified as OSY-SE. The disclosure also provides the biosynthetic machinery (e.g.

Abstract: Methods for reducing external and internal contamination of shell eggs by utilizing gaseous ozone applied under mild pressure, alone or in combination with UV radiation for external contaminants and gaseous ozone under mild pressure, a mix of carbon dioxide and ozone, heat, vacuum, or combinations thereof for internal contaminants.

Abstract: The present invention is directed bacterial isolates that produce proteinacious antimicrobial agents effective against a variety of food borne pathogens. The invention includes the bacteria, bacteriocin preparations derived from the bacteria and methods by which the preparations may be used.
