  • Publication number: 20220192225
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a composition comprising, (i) protein at a protein content of at least about 16% by dry weight, wherein at least about 50% by dry weight of the protein has an amino acid sequence encoded by one or more fungal genomes, and (ii) one or more materials selected from the group consisting of a flour, an oil, a flavoring agent, and a nutritional supplement, wherein the composition has a water content that is less than or equal to about 30% water by weight.

  • Patent number: 10973242
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a composition comprising (i) at least about 20% protein by dry weight, wherein said protein is not animal-derived protein, (ii) at least 20% by dry weight intact yeast cells, (iii) 20% to 70% plant-derived flour, (iv) at least 15% plant-derived starch selected from amylose, amylopectin and a combination thereof, (v) a vegetable oil, and (vi) a nutritional supplement comprising a plurality of vitamins and a plurality of minerals, wherein said composition has a water content that is less than or equal to about 30% water by weight, and wherein the product is produced by heat expanded extrusion.

  • Patent number: 10645967
    Abstract: Packaged aerated acidified food compositions (e.g., aerated dips, sauces, etc.) having a low density (e.g., 0.4 to 0.8 g/cm3) due to incorporation of gas bubbles (e.g., nitrogen or air) within an aerated matrix. In addition to the aerated matrix the composition further includes a relatively high fraction of oil (e.g., as an oil/water emulsion). The compositions are shelf-stable, so as to exhibit microbial stability and stability with respect to the aerated low density “whipped” texture, without requiring refrigeration. The composition includes the aerating gas (e.g., nitrogen or air), a protein (e.g., soy or dairy), a stabilizer (e.g., a hydrocolloid, a cyclodextrin, a monoglyceride, and/or a diglyceride), oil, water, an emulsifier, and a food grade acid. Flavors, spices, and other components may be included.

  • Publication number: 20190069575
    Abstract: In some aspects, the present disclosure provides methods for producing a food product containing single-cell organisms. Methods may comprise providing a reactor with a colony forming organism, sugar-containing material, and nitrogen-containing material and permitting the single-cell organism to grow to produce the food product. In an aspect, the present disclosure provides compositions for consumption. Compositions for consumption may comprise materials derived from unicellular organisms, plants, insects, and animals. Unicellular organisms may be produced from fermentation of sugar-containing materials and nitrogen-containing materials.
