  • Publication number: 20230158096
    Abstract: Provided are methods of making and using an antimicrobial composition, optionally including adding one or more enzymes to a suspension of lees, wherein the lees was formed by fermenting fruit with yeast and the one or more optional enzymes comprise a protease, a carbohydrase, or a combination of a protease and a carbohydrase; and forming a dried lees by drying the lees. In some examples the fruit includes chardonnay grapes, pinot noir grapes, cabernet franc grapes, or a combination of any two or more of chardonnay grapes, pinot noir grapes, and cabernet franc grapes; the yeast includes one or more Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains of yeast; and drying the lees by heating it. In some examples, trub made from fermenting a grain such as barley is used instead of lees. An antimicrobial composition made as provided may be administered to an animal to inhibit bacterial growth.

  • Publication number: 20060057252
    Abstract: A composition containing calcium pantothenate and at least one kind of vitamin as a mixture of solid state, wherein the calcium pantothenate is crystalline calcium pantothenate obtainable by a method comprising the following steps: (1) the step of mixing crystalline calcium pantothenate and amorphous calcium pantothenate to prepare a homogenous mixture; (2) the step of allowing the homogenous mixture obtained in the aforementioned step (1) to absorb moisture to prepare crystalline calcium pantothenate; and (3) the step of repeating the aforementioned steps (1) and (2) by using the crystalline calcium pantothenate obtained in the aforementioned step (2), and having a ratio (I16.0/I5.1) of the diffraction intensity I16.0 at an diffraction angle (2 ?) of 16° relative to the diffraction intensity I5.1 at an diffraction angle (2 ?) of 5.1° of 1 or more in a powder X-ray diffraction pattern.
