The present invention provides a protein material and food ingredient from a sustainable and stable source. The sustainable and stable source of the food or food ingredient is biomass, for example an algal or microbial biomass. The invention discloses that the biomass can be subjected to a series of steps to derive the protein material and food or food ingredient, which has high nutritional content without the unacceptable organoleptic properties that typically accompany proteins and food ingredients from these sources.

Protein rich food ingredient from biomass and methods of preparation

The present invention provides a protein material and food ingredient from a sustainable and stable source. The sustainable and stable source of the food or food ingredient is cellular biomass, for example an algal or microbial biomass. The invention discloses that the cellular biomass can be subjected to a series of steps to derive the protein material and food or food ingredient, which has high nutritional content and has pleasing organoleptic properties.

Protein rich food ingredient from biomass and methods of production

Processes for extracting product molecules from an algae feed are provided. The algae feed represents an input stream, batch sample, or other algae portion suitable for use in product extraction. The product extraction is typically performed at pressures greater than ambient pressure. This allows for improved extraction, including the potential for use of extraction solvents at temperatures greater than the boiling point for the solvent.

Solvent extraction of products from algae

Biomass based feeds are processed under hydrothermal treatment conditions to produce a hydrocarbon liquid product and a solids portion. The solids portion can contain a portion of the phosphorus from the biomass feed. The amount of phosphorus in the solids portion can be increased for some biomass feeds by adding a multivalent metal to the feed. The phosphorus from the solids portion can be recycled for further use, such as for growth of additional biomass.

Phosphorus recovery from hydrothermal treatment of biomass

There are disclosed pharmaceutical compositions containing polyoxoanions, methods of using them alone or in combination with other compounds, such as AZT and Poly-I:C for the treatment of retroviruses. Also disclosed are novel polyoxoanions.
