The present invention provides a process for the preparation of freeze dried microorganism composition, comprising the step of (i) subjecting a frozen composition comprising micro-organisms to a drying pressure of from 133 Pa [1000 mT] to 338 Pa [2540 mT] such that at the drying pressure the frozen composition is dried by sublimation of water present in the frozen composition to provide a freeze dried composition comprising the micro-organisms.

Aspects described herein relate to food and beverage compositions infused with lipophilic active agents and methods of use for the treatment of a variety of disorders. More particularly, aspects described herein relate to food and beverage compositions infused with lipophilic active agents such as cannabinoids, nicotine, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), and vitamins, that provide enhanced bioavailability of the lipophilic active agents in a subject, and that mask unpleasant tastes of lipophilic active agents.

A hand-held stick shaped meltable solid is provided, which may be picked up with a raking motion or placed into someone's hand for them to hold. In accordance with the present invention, the shape of the meltable solid allows a child or adult to bring the food to their mouth to practice a bite in the front of the mouth or on the back molars, which supports practicing biting and chewing with a safe transitional texture. The flavors will be precisely what is on the label without additives. Using freeze-drying, the product will maintain its freshness, and preserve its flavor, and consistency for a significantly longer time than other meltables currently available in the marketplace.

Provided are methods of preserving and/or storing Synsepalum dulcificum berry, which may involve separating a pulp of the berry into two or more parts; and freeze drying the berry with the separated pulp.

The present invention is directed to a method for combining dehydrofreezing and medium to far spectrum infrared radiation to preserve biological material. IR transfers energy and penetrates food products, thereby removing naturally present moisture. The present invention provides a novel method of combining pH treatment, infrared radiation, freezing, and vacuum-sealing for preserving biological material. Biological materials are preserved through either a pH treatment or with heat to remove harmful pathogens, followed by processing using far spectrum infrared radiation which may be powered by either gas or electric means. The processed materials undergo a freezing process which may be done using Individual Quick Freezing or blast freezing methods The frozen processed material is then packaged via vacuum sealing.

A particulate frozen dairy product comprising beads which remain free-flowing when at a temperature of about 12 C. or less. The beads comprise of a dairy product selected from the group consisting of frozen neat cream and frozen anhydrous milk fat. Included is a method of shipping a frozen dairy product. The method comprises cryogenically freezing a neat cream to form a plurality of frozen beads, and shipping the frozen beads while maintaining said frozen beads at a temperature less than 12 C. such that the frozen beads remain free-flowing during shipping. Further, the frozen beads are ideal for shipping, storage and use in that they lend themselves to multiple packaging options and easy proportioning for recipes.

A method of producing a food product from bone broth for nutritional and culinary applications. The method includes boiling vertebrate animal bones without pressure and for an amount of time, and under conditions, sufficient to yield a bone broth. The method includes freeze-drying the bone broth for an amount of time, and under conditions, sufficient to yield a crystallized food product. The food product may be in the form of chips, powder, or granules. The method yielding the food product preserves the nutritional integrity of the ingredients, offering a convenient, versatile, and healthful addition to the consumer's diet.
