The HEVAR or MOMO30 protein and/or a nucleic acid encoding the same may be used in methods for treating or preventing viral infections, particularly those caused by coronaviruses, such as SARS-CoV-2.

D vitamins enhanced nutraceutical compositions including one or more UV light treated, dried, and comminuted fungus materials and nutraceutical compositions including one or more UV light treated, dried, and comminuted fungus materials and one or more dried and comminuted herb materials and methods for making and using same.

A method for drying to increase the useful life of botanicals and shorten the time to market after harvest of the botanicals. The method may include flash freezing the botanicals, at a desired optimal temperature range, soon after harvest. The method may include storing the frozen botanicals indefinitely prior to drying. The method may include drying the frozen botanicals using a lyophilizer at a desired optimal temperature and pressure.

A process for controlling a decarboxylation of acidic cannabinoids for an infused soluble fat product, such as a butter product, is disclosed. In one embodiment for producing a butter product, raw cannabis base material is dried, pulverized, heated, and cooled to produce a decarbed cannabis material. The decarbed cannabis material is mixed with unsalted butter in an about 22:1 to and about 26:1 ratio, by weight, at ambient temperature and pressure, to produce a heterogenous butter material. The heterogenous butter material is canned and subjected to in-container thermal processing, including agitation during the thermal processing. The resulting heterogenous butter material is separated before cooling produces the butter product.

Exemplary embodiments relate to a manufacturing method of herbal medicine processed food. The method comprises (a) drying raw materials of Leonurus japonicus Houtt, Dioscorea bulbifera, Solanum nigrum L, Scutellaria baicalensis, Akebiae Caulis, corn silk, Astragalus membranaceus, Pueraria lobata Ohwi, and Lithospermum erythrorhizon by means of vacuum drying, wherein the drying temperature is 20 to 80° C., (b) grinding each of the vacuum-dried raw material of the step (a) to produce powder, (c) shaping mixture of powder of the step (b) into a round shape.

Provided herein are compositions comprising acidic extracts of Commiphora molmol (Myrrh) resin for the treatment and prevention of oral mucositis, mucosal infections, topical inflammations, bed sores, decubitis, inflammations of the gastrointestinal tract, canker sores, dental mouth lining ulcers, Behcet disease, and for acute and chronic wound healing. Also provided are methods for producing the disclosed compositions.

The present invention relates to the field of food technology and in particular, nutrient and bioactive rich plant formulations. Formulated products including nutrients and bioactives such as those provided by the Moringa plant are provided. In particular, coated or encapsulated food products having a spec release behaviour and a process for their production is described. The processes described enable food material, for example Moringa, to be used to provide nutrient dense foods that are more accessible and protected against loss of nutritional value. The resulting food products therefore allow better delivery of nutritional benefits to users.

The present invention relates to cosmetic, food, and quasi-drug compositions having antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and wrinkle or elasticity improvement effects, comprising citrus peel extracts as an active ingredient, which increase phenolic compounds, increase the generation of flavonoid aglycones, and reduce furanocoumarin, a harmful substance, a method for preparing the same, and citrus peel extracts prepared by the method. The present invention has excellent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and wrinkle or elasticity improvement effects, and thus can be used as a cosmetic composition, a food composition, and a quasi-drug composition that are safe for the skin and have excellent skin condition improvement effects.

Kava and kratom compositions are described herein along with the methods of producing the same. The description contained herein describes methods for making a purified kava composition that is free or substantially free of flavokavain A and flavokavain B. In some embodiments, the kava composition is formulated as a ready-to-drink beverage. Certain compositions comprise a combination of a kava composition and a kratom composition made in accordance with the methods described herein.
