A method for producing a fermentate including the steps of obtaining a fruit or vegetable extract, treating the extract with a hydrolytic enzyme, mixing the extract with a fermenting microorganism, water, and a growth media to produce a liquid composition; and incubating the liquid composition at a controlled temperature and a controlled pH to produce a fermentate. A method for killing or inhibiting the growth of a contaminating microorganism on or within a food product, and a food product including a fermentate having a cellular mass component from a fermenting microorganism, a fermented fruit or vegetable extract and a hydrolytic enzyme are disclosed. A fermentate produced by any one of the methods described is contemplated. The fermentate may be a concentrated liquid or a dry powder and has the ability to inhibit the growth of a contaminating microorganism by 100% when diluted to less than 5% (w/v).

The present invention relates to additive ingredients for stabilizing food compositions, as well as methods of stabilizing foods and pet foods using thymohydroquinone (THQ), alone or in synergistic combination with other antioxidants. The use of THQ to prevent oxidation of foods and pet foods has been found to be surprisingly effective in stabilizing all representative food matrices, including fats/oils, fatty foods, baked goods, and meat/poultry.

We have created a novel formulation to serve as a sanitizing, disinfectant or cleanser, excluding traditional synthetic chemicals historically addressing this role. The product is all-natural, GRAS certified ingredients that is safe, non-toxic and can be inhaled, ingested, applied topically to the animal body and of course, to all other surfaces we have defined herein. Thereby safe for water bowls, water and feed troughs, and water line flushing and disinfecting/sanitizing or cleaning.

Provided is a natural complex preservative agent for a grain or grain-based product. The preservative agent contains 50 wt % or greater of a Cordyceps extract and a broccoli extract, wherein the Cordyceps extract and broccoli extract are conjugated.

The present invention discloses an edible film with enhanced release efficiency of essential oil and a preparation method thereof. The edible film is composed of at least one blank layer and at least one essential oil-rich layer; during casting, the blank layer serves as a substrate layer and the essential oil-rich layer serves as an intermediate layer or an external layer; wherein the blank layer is composed of an alcohol-soluble protein-water-soluble protein composite film, and the essential oil-rich layer is composed of an alcohol-soluble protein-water-soluble protein composite film loading with essential oil. The present invention provides a structure and a method of divisional enrichment of essential oil, wherein the essential oil of equal mass is enriched in a certain layer of the film. Compared with the existing edible film loading with essential oil, the essential oil is loaded to the entire film matrix in the present invention.
