AI Technical Summary
Existing culture media production methods are costly and require elaborate purification protocols, and the transfer to food applications is challenging due to legal requirements and reliance on chemical synthesis of hormone additives.
Utilizing microgreens from edible seeds of vegetables, cereals, or herbs, harvested in an immature state, ground to 500 µm or less, and processed through phase separation to create a cell or fermentation medium, optionally diluted and sterilized, or dried to form a supplement.
The method produces culture media sustainably and inexpensively, with high nutrient content, avoiding chemical synthesis and legal approval issues, enabling simple upscaling and maintaining nutrient integrity.
