  • Method of producing an antimicrobial agent
    Patent number: 11716995
    Abstract: A method for producing an antimicrobial agent is provided. The method includes co-fermenting at least one seed of Lepidium Sativum and at least one yeast in a growth media to produce a yeast lees co-fermented by-product. The yeast lees by-product is then applied to a growth medium and at least one cell of Ganoderma Lucidum as a liquid medium under controlled conditions to produce mycelium and the liquid medium is agitated. The liquid medium is then filtered to isolate and extract an antimicrobial agent.
    Type: Grant
