The present invention relates to a food processing apparatus that is capable of supplying two different kinds of food materials and sequentially performing manufacturing processes such as bonding and cutting on the single apparatus, thus allowing the food to be easily processed.

The invention relates to a foodstuff having a fibrous structure comprising: at least one plant constituent of aquatic origin selected from among microalgae or microalgae extracts, cyanobacteria or cyanobacteria extracts and marine fungi or marine fungi extracts of the genus Schizochytrium and Auriantochytrium, or a mixture of at least two of these constituents of aquatic origin, and at least one other plant constituent,
said constituent of aquatic origin or the mixture of at least two of said constituents of aquatic origin constituting at least 5% by weight of the foodstuff.

The invention also relates to the use of such a foodstuff as a meat food product substitute.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising chlorella extract for preventing or treating liver diseases. The composition comprising the chlorella extract according to the present invention may be applied to medical supplies and health supplementary food and the like, and the chlorella extract of the present invention may be usefully used as a composition for preventing or treating liver diseases because it shows inhibitory effect on liver function injury in a liver function injured model.

The invention relates to algal-derived compositions comprising lutein and polysaccharides. The invention also relates to the use of the compositions as foodstuff, cosmeceutical, cosmetic, nutraceutical, nutritional supplement or pharmaceutical composition.

Provided is a natural product enzyme containing lactic acid bacteria and a method for producing the same, and more particularly a natural product-derived fermented enzyme obtained by inoculating lactic acid bacteria into natural products, including ginseng, Korean dendropanax, perilla, onion and seaweed, followed by fermentation, and a method for producing the same. The natural product enzyme produced by the method of producing the natural product enzyme using lactic acid bacterial according to the present invention makes it possible to effectively use the natural physiologically active components contained in the natural products and the active components which are additionally produced by lactic acid bacteria fermentation.

The present invention relates to a method for preparing, by fermentation, lipid-rich compositions of microalga flour having optimised organoleptic properties, characterised in that the microalgae are cultured in a minimal culture medium.

A method to process microalgae biomass and produce high-value chemicals from microalgae biomass is disclosed. The method uses the same biomass cells to extract more than one component such as are lipids, water-soluble chemicals, carotenoids, polysaccharides and algae meal. The method is a sequence of physical and chemical treatments. Water soluble polysaccharides produced by the method exhibit properties of low viscosity at low shear thinning. A method for extracting dietary fiber from microalgal biomass is disclosed. Compositions of water-soluble polysaccharides that are fermented slowly by colon microbiota with less gas production than commercial dietary fiber FOS are disclosed. The present inventions described herein provide a method of improving colon health by increasing butyrate during a microalgal dietary fiber fermenting process by colonic microbiota.
