Abstract: Method of manufacturing food products from a material comprising liquid spent brewers yeast is provided herein. A method for processing liquid spent brewers' yeast as the primary ingredient and at least one secondary protein ingredient into food products suitable for safe human consumption comprises subjecting a mix of primary and secondary ingredients to heat treatment at elevated pressure. The resulting product has a meaty flavor and texture, and a reduced RNA content. The process uses ingredients in their native liquid form, skipping drying and isolation, which reduces waste and is cost-effective.

Abstract: Methods of manufacturing products from material comprising oilcake, compositions produced from materials comprising processed oilcake, and systems for processing oilcake are provided herein. A product is produced by a method comprising de-solubilizing protein in a first material comprising oilcake to produce a processed material comprising an insoluble protein fraction by extruding the first material in a pressure range of 10 bar to 80 bar. The processed material is hydrolyzed to produce a mixture comprising the insoluble protein fraction and a hydrolyzed fraction. The insoluble protein fraction is separated from the hydrolyzed fraction. The insoluble protein fraction is processed into the product by extruding the insoluble protein fraction in a pressure range of 10 bar to 80 bar.

Abstract: Systems and methods for system for upcycling solid food wastes and by-products into food-grade nutritional products and the high-protein nutritional product manufactured by the systems and methods are described herein. A system for upcycling solid food wastes and by-products into food-grade nutritional products may include an extruder. The extruder may be configured to receive a raw plant-based material and continuously subject the raw plant-based material to steam flashing at predetermined temperature and predetermined pressure to sterilize the raw plant-based material, destroy antinutrients present in the raw plant-based material, cause a break up of larger cellular and subcellular units of the raw plant-based material into smaller cellular and subcellular units of the raw plant-based material to transform the raw plant-based material into a food ingredient, and reduce water content in the food ingredient.

Abstract: This disclosure is concerned with a nutritional product, nutritional composition, and methods for manufacturing thereof. The nutritional product and composition are protein rich substances which include oilcake produced by a process involving steam explosion of raw oilcake such that dry matter left after oil extraction from sunflower seeds or other oily crops or nuts. According to one aspect of this disclosure, there is provided a nutritional product which is suitable for human consumption and comprises a high-protein main ingredient and a supplemental ingredient. The high-protein main ingredient includes sterile and palatable matter such as processed oilcake produced by steam explosion of substantially water-insoluble matter. The optional supplemental ingredient includes one or more of the following: carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.

Abstract: A nutritional composition is designed to be a complete meal, which includes nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, all of which are needed to sustain a healthy diet. The ingredients of nutritional composition are provided in amounts to meet recommended dosages so that a total fat value is at about 30% of total calorie value, a total carbohydrate value is about 40-60% of total calorie value, and a total protein value is about 10-30% of total calorie value of the nutritional composition. According to certain embodiments, the nutritional composition includes a mixture of flax seeds at about 3 grams to about 6 grams per 100 kcal, hemp seeds at about 1 gram to about 3 grams per 100 kcal, plant flour at about 2 grams to about 9 grams per 100 kcal, and optionally other ingredients such as protein, protein isolate, sesame seeds, flavoring agent, and processing liquid.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method and an apparatus for making customized nutritional mixtures based on characteristics of an individual and in the manner to be nutritionally complete and correspond to a recommended calorie intake value. An example method comprises the steps of: (i) maintaining a plurality of nutritional ingredients; (ii) receiving a request to make a customized nutritional mixture for an individual; (iii) obtaining or calculating an individual calorie value of the individual; (iv) optionally selecting a number of nutritional ingredients; (v) calculating mass fractions of selected nutritional ingredients based on the individual calorie value; and (vi) dispensing selected nutritional ingredients in accordance with the mass fractions to a container in order to produce the customized nutritional mixture, where a calorie value of the customized nutritional mixture substantially corresponds to at least a predetermined portion of the individual calorie value.
