A bioactive food complex product, method for preparing a bioactive food complex product and method for controlling disease using probiotics and quorum sensing inhibitors such as inhibitory furanones and other bioactive compounds included in both the continuous and dispersed phases of a bioactive food complex product. The product is comprised of a solids-in-oil or an oil-in-solids emulsion forming a first emulsion that is itself emulsified in polymer forming oil-in-polymer or solids-in-polymer emulsion complex. The bioactive complex is formed of two emulsions with the first emulsion comprising the dispersed phase and a hydrocolloid polymer serving as the continuous phase. The second emulsion complex is then crosslinked to form a physically stable matrix. The bioactive food complex or the first emulsion of the bioactive food complex then serve to deliver different bioactive components including probiotic bacteria and quorum sensing inhibitor molecules to the digestive tract and environment of animals such as shrimp or fish or other livestock raised commercially to effectively control bacterial disease by a novel combination of mechanism including: competitive exclusion, direct inhibit, digestion of cell-to-cell signaling molecules and direct inhibition of homoserine lactone and (acyl) homoserine lactone regulated processes of pathogenic bacteria. Thus, effective disease prevention and control is accomplished through the novel combined delivery and use of probiotic bacteria and quorum sensing inhibitory furanones. |
