A process for producing a bio-inactive and shelf stable biomass matter derived from bioactive biomass feedstock includes processes that can be performed in an effective way with equipment that does not require large expenditures. The biomass feedstock may be dewatered and then stabilized to prevent degradation. The stabilized biomass may then be back blended with a dried back blending biomass having a water concentration of less than 10% and a particle size that produces back blended biomass that can be effectively processed by controlled agitation drying wherein the thickness is maintained at less than 100 mm while an airflow is formed over the back blended biomass and shear mechanical energy is imparted. The entire process may be performed in less than 12 hours to produce a shelf-stable dried biomass.

The invention relates to a method for producing dry pet food articles, dry pet food articles produced by the method, and the use of the resulting dry pet food articles. The dry pet food articles are produced by a method that includes the steps of providing a moulding material by contacting popcorn with a binder composition, the binder composition including a protein, a sugar alcohol, and water; and forming an article from the moulding material by administering heat and/or pressure to the moulding material in a mould. The dry pet food articles can be produced easily and provide very low caloric value per weight and particularly per volume, while also being well received by pets in terms of taste and texture.

A system for treating whole stillage includes a stillage tank, a separation system in communication with the stillage tank and configured to separate the whole stillage into a wet cake portion and a thin stillage portion, and a primary filtration system in communication with the separation system. The primary filtration system can be configured to separate the thin stillage into a primary concentrate and a primary permeate. A secondary filtration system in communication with the primary filtration system can be configured to further purify the primary permeate. A water reclamation system in communication with the primary and/or secondary filtration system can remove water from the permeate. An additive can be added to the primary permeate to precipitate phosphorus-containing minerals and corn oil can be advantageously extracted from the primary concentrate. Protein-enriched animal feeds can be generated from dehydration of the primary concentrate.

Method for improving drying of a concentrated acid salmon silage, during preparation of a protein supplement for animal feed, from salmon silage, wherein in a continuous and sequential form includes treating the stored salmon silage through steps of cooking, separation, concentration, drying, grinding, addition of antioxidant, and packing, wherein after the concentration step, the following steps proceed: a) incorporating in a first mixer an amount of concentrated acid salmon silage, and an amount of flour-type carrier, obtaining an homogeneous mixture; b) incorporating in a second mixer an additional amount of concentrated acid salmon silage, an amount from the first mixer, and a fraction of the load coming out of the dryer, the latter as a recycle; c) transferring the mixture formed in the second mixer to a dryer; d) recycling a fraction of the load, equivalent to the amount that can be from 30% to 60% of the output of the second mixer, fraction defined in function of the humidity at the exit of the dryer; e) passing the mixture of the dry product at the exit of the dryer to a cooler, wherein the cooling is performed from 80° C. to 25° C. for 10 to 30 minutes; f) feeding the dry and cooled down product to the steps of grinding, adding an antioxidant, and packing of the protein supplement for animal feed. Also disclosed are the protein supplement and system to improve drying said protein feed.
