Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods, systems and compositions for food coloring. Embodiments disclosed herein may include methods and systems for combining tea leaves and water to form a feed slurry; processing a feed slurry to at least partially remove a tea essence from the feed slurry, thereby obtaining a tea extract with a predetermined amount of one or more of an aroma or a flavor; and adjusting a color of the tea extract, thereby obtaining a coloring agent with a predetermined color-related feature, wherein the coloring agent is added in a predetermined amount to a food product to adjust a color of the food product. Embodiments may also including coloring compositions, which may include a dry tea extract, wherein an essence has been removed from the dry tea extract to a predetermined amount, and a color of the dry tea extract has been adjusted to have a predetermined color-related feature.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to compositions comprising rice bran extract and meat analogues, and methods of making and using the same.

Abstract: In some aspects, the present disclosure provides an advantageous process for preparing meat curing agents. In some embodiments, a process for continuous conversion of plant-based nitrates to nitrites includes: inoculating a source material liquid comprised of nitrates with a bacterial culture capable of converting nitrates to nitrites; when nitrites in the source material liquid reach a desired concentration, harvesting a first harvest volume of the source material liquid at a harvest rate; and replenishing the harvested volume of the source material liquid with source material liquid comprising additional nitrates at a feed rate, wherein the harvest rate is higher than the feed rate.
