Methods of production of edible filamentous fungal biomat formulations are provided as standalone protein sources and/or protein ingredients in foodstuffs as well as a one-time use or repeated use self-contained biomat reactor comprising a container with at least one compartment and placed within the compartment(s), a feedstock, a fungal inoculum, a gas-permeable membrane, and optionally a liquid nutrient medium.

The present invention relates to a novel bacteriophage that lyses Acinetobacter genus bacteria, in particular, Acinetobacter genus bacteria having resistance to antibiotics. The bacteriophage of the present invention can be used in various fields, such as antibiotic composition, feed additive composition, feed, disinfectant, cleaning agent, and a composition for prevention or treatment of an infectious disease caused by Acinetobacter genus bacteria.

Methods of production of edible filamentous fungal biomat formulations are provided as standalone protein sources and/or protein ingredients in foodstuffs as well as a one-time use or repeated use self-contained biofilm-biomat reactor comprising a container with at least one compartment and placed within the compartment(s), a feedstock, a fungal inoculum, a gas-permeable membrane, and optionally a liquid nutrient medium.

The present invention relates to a food composition for relieving stress, and specifically, to a food composition for relieving stress, which reduces secretion of the stress hormone cortisol and increases secretion of the happy hormone serotonin by containing fermented and aged noni and calamansi as active ingredients, has no side effects, and is safe for the human body. The composition of the present invention may be used as a health functional food or a pharmaceutical composition. The composition of the present invention has an excellent anti-stress effect.

The present invention relates to a composition for control of microbial development of an edible substance the composition comprises a supernatant comprising a bacteriocin produced from fermentation of a bacteriocin producing bacteria and an organic acid produced from fermentation of a bacteriocin producing bacteria, wherein organoleptic characteristics of the edible substance are not significantly altered.

Methods for making a plant-based food product from a microalgae are described. An example method includes obtaining a microalgae, extracting Chlorella protein from the microalgae, modifying a factor associated with the Chlorella protein and/or adding a stimulant to the Chlorella protein to change an amino acid combination of the Chlorella protein, and utilizing the modified Chlorella protein as a protein flour to create the plant-based food product.

A combination is provided comprising an ellagitannin composition, and an enzymatic composition comprising one or more ellagitannin enzymes, where the one or more ellagitannin enzymes comprise a tannin acyl hydrolase enzyme, a gallate decarboxylase enzyme, or a combination thereof. Methods of making and using combinations disclosed herein are also provided.
