The present invention relates to new food compositions, particularly pet food compositions, which are resistant to microbial contamination, and methods for making the same. The compositions comprise an ingredient in an effective amount to impart antimicrobial activity.

A composition for degradation of mycotoxin including, as an effective component, Aspergillus culture filtrate which contains an iron compound or yeast extract, and uses thereof, are proposed. As aflatoxin can be degraded with high efficiency and simple composition by the composition of the present invention and the activity of degrading mycotoxin is maintained in very stable state in a broad temperature range of from room temperature to heating at 121° C. for sterilization, it is expected that the composition can be advantageously used for processing like heating at high temperatures.

The present invention relates to a process for preparing pet food comprising pale meat and a gravy; and a pet food obtainable thereby.

The invention relates to a food biopreservative composition comprising a consortium of lactic acid bacteria comprising at least one homofermentative lactic acid bacteria; at least one heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria and an activating agent. The biopreservative composition inhibits the growth of pathogens such as Salmonella, E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus and can prolong the shelf-life of processed and unprocessed food.
