Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided, wherein one or more plant protein(s) are combined with one or more fruit, vegetable, nut or grain sources of phenolics to generate protein-phenol complexes within the mixture. The source of phenolics primarily derive from plant waste, residuals, by-products or side streams, such as, for example, the solids which remain after the extraction of juice from fruit or oil pressed from olives, nuts or grains (e.g., pomace), or fruit and vegetables, etc., which could not be sold for some reason or another. In one embodiment, this mixture constitutes an Admixture that can be added to meat analogue formulations. In one embodiment, this mixture constitutes a Base Substance to generate a Meat Analogue and/or Final Product, which can provide a replacement for different types of meat including beef, buffalo, deer, chicken, turkey, pork, fish, shellfish, etc.

Abstract: The system comprises one or more transportable bioreactors configured with the ability to conduct aerobic fermentation of fruit biomass. This system integrates three functionalities: transportation regulations, fermentation requirements and food safety/quality control requirements. The transportation design features of the system render the bioreactors transportable to a fruit processing facility, wherein they can be filled with fruit biomass. The transportable bioreactor and processes take into account the requirements of the bioreactor functionalities of the system, given the particular deployment specifications of the system tailored for a certain environment and fruit biomass. Moreover, the design of this system conforms to the minimal requirements for the food safety and quality regulations of the jurisdictions in which the ultimate products will be directly and/or indirectly sold (e.g., as a foodstuff, health supplement, and/or a food ingredient).
