HIGH PROTEIN CRISPY FOOD PRODUCT AND METHOD FOR PREPARING THE SAME

$
0
0
The present disclosure generally relates to a high protein crispy poultry food product and method for preparing the same. The snack chip can contain chicken or turkey and have a fat content of between 0-20% by weight. The snack chips can be formed from dough containing 30-100% by weight of chicken or turkey and having a protein content equal to, or above 3% by weight. The dough can also have a moisture content of approximately 20-70% by weight. To achieve the targeted moisture content, dry dough products, such as corn masa, potatoes, or rice, can be mixed with the turkey or chicken. Add back, or partial drying can also be used to reduce the moisture content. Dray ice can also be added to the dough to sufficiently cool the dough to prevent it from sticking to the rollers.

VEGETARIAN FEEDING METHOD FOR CARNIVOROUS FISH AND SHRIMP WITH SPIRULINA AND CHLORELLA ALGAE USING ELECTROLYZED WATER AND SODIUM THIOSULFATE, GUAR AND OLIGOFRUCTANS AS ADDITIVES

$
0
0
Feeding method and production technology of a vegetarian feed for carnivorous fish prepared from Spirulina and Chlorella algae that are produced by cell proliferation in production tanks in electrolyzed water with chlorine-neutralizing sodium thiosulfate and are subsequently dried, pelleted and packaged. The fish feed can be employed without the fish having diarrhea. As a result, the water in fish breeding tanks does not become immoderately eutrophic and at the same time the daily weight gain of the fish is not affected. An optimum daily growth rate and a fish flesh quality can be achieved without the use of animal and fish-based proteins in the fish food ration. The fish food is also inexpensive and ecologically sustainable and ethically acceptable, since it contributes to the rescue of the remaining fish stocks in waters worldwide.

$
0
0
A method is disclosed for increasing systemic carotenoid levels in humans through oral consumption of tablets, capsules, food or beverage products containing organisms capable of synthesizing carotenoid compounds. Carotenoid synthesis may occur in situ by organisms colonizing the gut, or in food or beverage products where carotenoids accumulate and are subsequently consumed dietarily. The organisms may be either transgenic—thus expressing genes in the carotenoid synthesis pathway derived from other organisms, or they may comprise species or strains selected for natural synthesis of carotenoids. The central objective of the invention is to provide an improvement in human health through a novel method for supplying and delivering carotenoid compounds.
