The invention relates to a method for pasteurising a biomass, for example a fungal biomass, wherein the biomass is pasteurised using specific time and temperature parameters to obtain pasteurised biomass. The pasteurised biomass is suitable for use as a source of single-cell proteins in food products. The invention also relates to the pasteurised product, and to food products comprising it.

A method for manufacturing a Ganoderma Lucidum fermented beverage product (GLfb) is provided. It has found that Ganoderma lucidum contains high quantity of natural Pyrroloquinoline Quinone (PQQ). Free radicals generated by ischemic or hypoxic conditions have been found to be a significant cause of myocardial damage leading to myocardial death. PQQ has been reported to act as a free radical scavenger. In particular, PQQ has been reported to be effective in neutralizing superoxide and hydroxyl radicals.
