Abstract:
Provided herein are methods for making an extruded protein product using a high-moisture extrusion technique is described. High moisture extrudates described can allow for a high inclusion of oil without disrupting a fibrous structure formation during cooling and provides an improved fatty mouthfeel perception upon consumption. Also provided herein are directionally frozen highly fibrous scaffolds generated from a solution of a ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) protein isolate, an additive, and water. Described are compositions where a structure or strength of the directionally frozen highly fibrous scaffold is modulated in relation in part to a concentration of the RuBisCO protein isolate and temperatures of setting of the directionally frozen highly fibrous scaffold and other additives. The directionally frozen highly fibrous scaffold may be post-processed to serve as a whole-cut meat product or is used as a fibrous and protein-rich scaffold for cell culturing to generate a hybrid cultivated meat product.
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a food product additive with which it is possible to further enhance browning characteristics. Provided is a food-product browning agent containing (A) a pigment compound selected from the group consisting of betalains, anthocyans, curcuminoids, polyhydroxychalcones, and polyhydroxyanthraquinones, (B) multicopper oxidase, and (C) a polysaccharide, said food-product browning agent reproducing a color prior to heating of a food product by being added to the food product, and browning the food product by more effectively fading during heating. Therefore, it is possible to more realistically reproduce a color change that occurs during heating.
Abstract:
Provided is an enzyme composition that can be used to produce food products with less contaminants and excellent flavor and texture. An enzyme composition for food products containing a peptidase and having substantially no contaminating activity.
Abstract:
The invention provides for compositions and methods for the preservation of meat tissues, including fish, beef, poultry and pork us phospholipase A2 (PLA2) enzymes.
Abstract:
A method for reducing the amount of cholesterol and/or improving the texture and/or reducing weight loss and/or increasing the fat stability of a meat based food product comprising: a) contacting meat with a lipid acyltransferase; b) incubating the meat contacted with the lipid acyltransferase at a temperature between about 1° C. to about 70° C.; c) producing a food product from the meat; wherein step b) is conducted before, during or after step c). Use of a lipid acyltransferase to reduce cholesterol in a meat based food product.
Abstract:
A meat slurry composition with extended shelf-life and incorporated into pet food. The extended shelf-life of the meat slurry occurs due to the making of a cultured meat slurry. The cultured meat slurry includes a meat slurry, a culture energy source and a starter culture. The cultured meat slurry may also contain the addition of proteolytic enzymes. The cultured meat slurry may also be vacuum packaged. The method of forming the cultured meat slurry is also described.
Abstract:
Low-ingredient meat products, which contain a reduced amount of salt, phosphate and/or meat, generally have poor texture and water-binding properties. The texture and water binding of such a product may be significantly improved with tyrosinase, which is a protein cross-linking enzyme. The invention is directed to a method of preparing a low-ingredient meat product by adding tyrosinase, and to a low-ingredient meat product modified by tyrosinase.
Abstract:
The present invention is related to a method for producing a meat based food product by treating meat with a phospholipase, to a meat based food product obtainable by the method of the invention and to use of a phospholipase for producing a meat based food product.
Abstract:
The present invention retains the original shape, color, taste, flavor and texture, suppresses liquating out nutritional contents, can easily adjust the hardness of a food, can efficiently manufacture a processed food which uses a wide variety of food materials, can preserve by suppressing microbial deterioration due to its hygienic manufacture, and can easily and manufacture a processed food in a short period of time, wherein the food is capable of supplying nutritious substance according to need. The method of manufacturing a food of the present invention including bringing either one or both of a thickener in a non-solvated state and microorganism which generates a viscous material into contact with the surface of a food material, and performing a pressure treatment, such that the food retains the shape of the food material and uniformly includes either one or both of a thickener in a non-solvated state and microorganism which generates a viscous material inside.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a protein deamidating enzyme that is added to a food material containing muscle protein and acts on the same to produce high-quality foods.
