The present application relates to a method for preparing processed food by means of a frozen block and processed food prepared by means of same.

The present disclosure relates to a method of preparing non-gelatin soft capsules filled with an edible semi-solid or liquid material, the method comprising the general step of thermoforming a gentled film (membrane) into capsule that will be filled with (primarily) food and/or beverages.

The present disclosure provides a micron fish oil composition and a method for preparing the micron fish oil composition. The method includes mixing a composite plant colloid with a fish oil and subjecting to an emulsification treatment to obtain an emulsion; and homogenizing the emulsion at a pressure of 300 bar to 350 bar to obtain the micron fish oil composition. The present disclosure also provides a method for enhancing bioabsorbability and bioavailability in a subject, including administering to the subject in need thereof a food product including an effective amount of the micron fish oil composition.

An apparatus and method for producing gelled pearls includes: a housing with at least one opening into which a flavored liquid is provided; external components; and internal components. The external components include: a first ingress port through which a first refill pack is coupled; and a dispenser with tubing through which a processed solution is expelled into a gelling bath. The internal components include: a mixing tank for blending the flavored liquid with the first solution; a first flow valve fluidly coupled with the mixing tank and directing the flavored liquid into and out of the mixing tank; a second flow valve fluidly coupled with the mixing tank and directing flow of a proportional amount of the first solution into the mixing tank; and a microcontroller device.

Preparations of glycan therapeutics, pharmaceutical compositions and medical foods thereof, optionally comprising micronutrients, polyphenols, prebiotics, probiotics, or other agents are provided and methods of making same. Also provided are methods of using said gycan therapeutics, e.g. for the modulation of human gastrointestinal microbiota and to treat dysbioses.

Methods of covering an animal feed product involve depositing in an open end of a container an animal feed. Placing a cover on an exposed surface of the feed at the open end of the container, where the cover includes a flowable coating arranged on one side of a flexible film and a rigid or semi-rigid layer bound to an opposite side of the film. The exposed surface of the feed comprises irregular surface structures due to feed components positioned at the exposed surface. A central portion of the flexible film of the placed cover conforms to the irregular surface structures at the exposed surface of the feed upon the flowable coating reaching a temperature of at least about 125 F.
