Abstract
Compositions comprising a plurality of yeast cells, wherein said plurality of yeast cells have been cultured in the presence of an alternating electric field having a specific frequency and a specific field strength for a period of time sufficient to substantially increase the capability of said plurality of yeast cells to suppress the growth of pathogenic microbes. Also included are methods of making such compositions.

A composition comprising a plurality of yeast cells, wherein said plurality of yeast cells are characterized by a substantial increase in their capability to suppress the growth of pathogenic microbes as a result of having been cultured in the presence of an alternating electric field having a frequency in the range of 30 to 50 MHz and a field strength in the range of 0.5 to 200 mV/cm, as compared to yeast cells not having been so cultured.
A method of preparing a yeast composition, comprising culturing a plurality of yeast cells in the presence of an alternating electric field having a frequency in the range of 30 to 50 MHz and a field strength in the range of 0.5 to 200 mV/cm, wherein said plurality of yeast cells are characterized by a substantial increase their capability to suppress the growth of pathogenic microbes as a result of said culturing as compared to yeast cells not having been so cultured.
