The present invention relates to a continuous on-board drying method for Antarctic krill and a continuous on-board processing method of shelled Antarctic krill. The drying method includes the following steps: 1) subjecting fishing materials to cleaning, sorting, and dewatering with a vibrating screen; 2) rapidly heating the krill to the temperature of up to 70? C. using infra-red rays; 3) hot-air drying; 4) impurity removal by vacuum; 5) cooling to obtain dried krill. The processing method includes the following steps: a) subjecting fishing materials to cleaning, sorting, and dewatering with a vibrating screen; b) rapidly heating the krill to the temperature of up to 70? C. using infra-red rays; c) hot-air drying; d) subjecting the dried krill to shelling treatment to separate shell from meat, to obtain shelled krill; e) impurity removal by vacuum to obtain shelled krill product. The methods in the present invention are highly efficient, energy saving, green and environmental protection, and the krill products have high quality and safety.

A dietary supplement for improving gastrointestinal functionality includes: an edible supplement comprising at least 10 mg/mL of alcohol soluble components of an animal broth. A method for preparing a dietary supplement for improving gastrointestinal functionality includes the steps of: transforming an animal broth into an active agent by adding a transforming vehicle to the animal broth, wherein the transforming vehicle is an alcohol; isolating the active agent by removing precipitates; removing the transforming vehicle from the active agent; and forming the dietary supplement, wherein the dietary supplement includes the active agent.

A flavor composition of a mixture of a) a first powder that includes a liquid flavor having a log P of up to about 3.5 loaded onto a first solid matrix material; and b) a second powder that includes a solvent loaded onto a second solid matrix material. The second solid matrix material is different than first solid matrix material and the flavor composition is in the form of a free-flowing powder. Also, methods of making a plated flavor powder and food compositions that include the powder.
