Proposed is a method for complex culture of Innotus obliquus, Phellinus linteus, and Ganoderma lucidum. The cultured mycelium complex prepared by the above method has a high content of beta-glucan, which has excellent health functionality and can be used as additives or cooking seasonings for various foods. In addition, when raw meat is salted using the cultured mycelium complex, meat dishes with good taste and flavor can be easily prepared.

Spirulina infused gummies containing micronutrients for consumption by a person to deliver beneficial and necessary nutrients to the person and a method of preparing spirulina infused gummies to eliminate the bad odor and taste normally associated with spirulina. The gummies have pectin, water, citric acid, sugar and/or glucose and spirulina. Preservatives and flavor additives can also be included. The method of making the gummies includes heating a mixture of citric acid and water, adding pectin and sugar to the mixture and then stirring, adding hot glucose to the mixture, stirring the mixture and allowing the mixture to cool, adding spirulina to the mixture followed by continuous stirring, adding additional citric acid to the mixture, stirring until jellification begins, pouring the mixture into molds and removing the mixture from the molds when cool. Preferably, a preservative and a flavor additive are added to the mixture prior to the additional citric acid.

The present invention relates to an antioxidant composition and, more specifically, to an antioxidant composition including a Sargassum serratifolium extract or a fraction thereof as an active ingredient, in which the antioxidant composition is a useful material (substance) that can be added to medicines, cosmetics, foods, animal feeds, and the like. The present invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating eye diseases, a food composition for alleviating eye diseases, and a health functional food, each of which includes a Sargassum serratifolium extract or a compound separated therefrom as an active ingredient.
