Process for producing a bio-inactive and shelf stable biomass matter derived from bioactive biomass feedstock

A process for producing a bio-inactive and shelf stable biomass matter derived from bioactive biomass feedstock comprised of the following:

• a) providing said bioactive biomass feedstock comprising:
• i) an original protein concentration of between 2.5% and 66% by weight of the bioactive biomass feedstock;
• ii) an original fat concentration of between 2.5% and 66% by weight of the bioactive biomass feedstock;
• and
• iii) an original water concentration of between 20% and 95% by weight of the bioactive biomass feedstock;
• b) stabilizing the bioactive biomass feedstock by adding an antioxidant to said bioactive biomass feedstock to produce a stabilized biomass wherein the fat is stabilized to prevent oxidation and to minimize free fatty acid creation;
• c) providing a back blending dried biomass having a particle size between 10 and 20,000 microns;
• d) back blending the stabilized biomass by mixing with the back blending dried biomass at a back blending ratio by weight of said back blending dried biomass to said stabilized biomass to produce a back blended biomass having a water concentration by weight that is 50% or less than said original water concentration by weight and to promote granularization of said back blended biomass;
• and
• e) controlled agitation drying of the back blended biomass by imparting shear mechanical energy while producing controlled drying environment conditions including producing an airflow over the back blended biomass, maintaining a humidity level of between 5% and 65%, and maintaining a temperature of between 10° C. and 54.4° C. (50° F. and 130° F.) over at least 50% of the controlled agitation drying time to produce said bio-inactive and shelf stable biomass matter having a final water concentration of no more than 12% by weight;
• wherein a total duration time for processing said bioactive biomass feedstock in step a) to said bio-active and shelf stable biomass matter in step e) is controlled to less than 12 hours so that biological activity does not consume the bioactive biomass feedstock via aerobic or anaerobic degradation processes.
