  • Publication number: 20220232854
    Abstract: Provided is a method to prepare a protein food product based on solid state fermentation, which includes the steps of preparing a sterilized substrate comprising a grain such as rice or quinoa and a plant protein concentrate or isolate such as pea protein, inoculating the sterilized substrate with a filamentous fungal culture such as Morchella esculenta culture, and culturing the filamentous fungal culture in the substrate, resulting in a myceliated substrate that has texture more similar to meat and/or improved flavor and aroma when cooked as compared to control substrate (e.g., unmyceliated). Similarity in texture to cooked meat includes increased spring and cohesiveness on chewing, and also where the protein food product, and the improved flavor includes increased savory and umami and decreased bitterness and improved aroma includes decreased pea or beany aroma.

  • Publication number: 20170004701
    Abstract: An ornamental enclosure and an emergency alert device comprising of a removable housing with a through hole with a actuator button placed within the through hole that is adjacent to the activation button of the alert device. Retainer tabs hold the alert device in place. The ornamental enclosure is distinguished by attachment mechanisms that are a belt buckle configured to engage a belt or a fastener configured to engage a wristband or bracelet. There is a free floating activation push button placed within the ornamental housing which depresses an adjacent actuator button that is positioned to engage the activation button of the alert device. Another embodiment is an ornamental enclosure with a through hole housing common internal emergency alert circuitry, a generic energy source and an activation push button placed within the through hole.
