Abstract: There is described a process for producing at least one of mycoprotein and the components thereof, the process comprising: (i) providing a fermentation media suitable for producing mycoprotein; (ii) fermenting the fermentation media to obtain a mixture comprising mycoprotein; (iii) separating the mycoprotein from the mixture to obtain a mycoprotein phase; and (iv) mechanically disrupting the cell walls of the mycoprotein in the mycoprotein phase thereby releasing at least some of the mycoprotein cell contents. There is also described at least one of mycoprotein and the components thereof obtainable, obtained or directly obtained from the process. Further described is a composition comprising at least one of mycoprotein and the components thereof, wherein the composition is non-fibrous. The composition may comprise at least one of: protein obtained from mycoprotein, and amino acids derived from protein obtained from mycoprotein.

Abstract: There is described a continuous process for producing and isolating mycoprotein. The process may comprise the steps of: providing a fermentation media suitable for producing mycoprotein; introducing the fermentation media to a first fermentation vessel; fermenting the fermentation media to obtain a mixture comprising mycoprotein and partially spent fermentation media; isolating at least part of the partially spent fermentation media from the mixture comprising mycoprotein and partially spent fermentation media; and reintroducing at least a portion of the isolated partially spent fermentation media into the first fermentation vessel. Also described is mycoprotein obtained from the process.
