The present invention is directed to the utilization of hyperthermophilic organisms to produce single cell protein or protein enriched biomasses for use as food and/or feed sources. In particular, provided is the use of organic material (e.g., animal waste or sludge and/or produce) for use as a biomass in such processes.

The present invention is directed to the utilization of hyperthermophilic organisms to produce single cell protein or protein enriched biomasses for use as food and/or feed sources. In particular, provided is the use of organic material (e.g., animal waste or sludge and/or produce) for use as a biomass in such processes.

Methods of separating components traditionally considered as waste material from mold-fermented compositions are described. The waste components can be separated either from unfiltered compositions or from a separation stream separated from a composition. In some embodiments, filamentous fungus used in the production of the mold-fermented composition is specifically targeted for separation. Incorporation of separated waste components into various products are also described herein. In some embodiments, the separated components are used in alternative meat products and other foods designed for human consumption. Separated components can also be used in animal feed, as feed stock for other fermentation processes, or for use in treating food, creating cosmetics, or chemical processes.

Novel nutritional compositions supporting health and growth in mature and young animals are disclosed. The compositions are useful for the feeding of animals, particularly those used for food, performance animals, such as horses, and companion animals, such as dogs and cats. The nutritional compositions and supplements of the present invention are effective not only in supporting the growth and health but also in supporting and stimulating the immune system, and in mitigating undesirable infections. Additionally, particular fractions of the unique peptides produced by the disclosed methods can be separated and combined with and of a number health supporting ingredients, especially fatty acids which in combination with the peptides provide significantly enhanced health benefits.

A method of and system for making at least four types of animal feed products for various types of animals to maximize and use all of the components found in the whole stillage in an alcohol producing plant. The method includes liquefying, fermenting, distilling, performing a selective particle size separating into three streams, wherein the three streams contain a first stream of a large particle stream that is used to form a first animal feed suitable for ruminant animals, a second stream of a coarse protein stream that is used to form a second animal feed suitable for chicken and pigs, and a third stream of a fine particle stream that is used to form a third animal feed suitable for fish and pet. The third stream is further concentrated and enriched to have a syrup with 35%-80% of dry solid.

The present invention relates to a method for protein enrichment of a biomass of red unicellular algae such as Galdieria and to the biomass thus obtained.

The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for long-term storage, shipping, and stable production of black soldier flies, capable of use in waste remediation or protein production. The invention overcomes drawbacks associated with current methods of using black soldier flies, significantly increasing the period during which black soldier fly neonates can be stored and the time in which larvae mature.

Methods, compositions, and systems for steeping, propagation and fermentation, particularly large-scale operations for production of starch and ethanol and fermentation product streams are provided. Addition of mycotoxin mitigating enzymes or microorganisms expressing mycotoxin mitigating enzymes to steeping, propagation, and/or fermentation tanks, and/or to post-fermentation product streams, mitigates mycotoxin levels in fermentation co-products obtained from mycotoxin contaminated feedstocks.
