    摘要: Methods, and compositions derived thereof, for preparing a myceliated amino-acid-supplemented high-protein food product having desired digestibility and amino acid content. An aqueous medium comprising a high-protein material is inoculated with a fungal culture to produce a myceliated amino acid-supplemented high-protein food product. The plant protein can include pea, rice and/or chickpea protein. The fungi can include Lentinula spp., Agaricus spp., Pleurotus spp., Boletus spp., or Laetiporus spp. Preferably, the myceliated amino acid-supplemented high-protein food product has reduced bitterness and/or reduced volatile amino-acid-derived aroma compared to high-protein amino acid-supplemented material that is not myceliated. Also disclosed are myceliated amino-acid-supplemented high-protein food products and compositions, such as dairy alternative products, beverages and beverage bases, extruded and extruded/puffed products, meat analogs and extenders, baked goods and baking mixes, texturized plant-based protein products, granola products, bar products, smoothies and juices, and soups and soup bases.
