Abstract
The present invention provides a means to concentrate, dry and formulate biomaterials such as polysaccharides, gums and related biopolymers, and microorganisms such as cells, spores, and the like from dilute solutions using spent germ and other oil bearing residues. In addition, the spent germ can serve as a carrier for such biomaterials. The sorbed materials are useful in animal feeds.

1-57. (canceled)
A composite product prepared by a method comprising:
- contacting an aqueous medium containing said polysaccharide with a sorbent, said sorbent comprising a spent oil-bearing residue, whereby said polysaccharide and at least a portion of the water in said aqueous solution are sorbed by said sorbent thereby forming a composite;
- and
- drying said composite to a moisture content of less than 20%.
