The present invention generally relates to apparatuses for drying heat-sensitive protein compositions. In one aspect, the present invention is directed to a pulse resonator/atomizer for drying heat sensitive protein compositions. The pulse resonator/atomizer comprises: a rotating valve spun by a variable-speed electric motor controlled by a Variable Frequency Drive, plus an atomizer to introduce the heat sensitive protein compositions into the resonating gas stream for drying.

The present invention relates to a feed composition comprising an acid protease.

A protein-rich food product comprising water and solids, wherein at least 70% of the solids consist of protein, and a method for making the protein-rich food product. The protein-rich food product is capable of replacing flour food products as a low-calorie, gluten-free, high-protein alternative.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide an adhesion improver that is to be used for an edible base material for cell culturing and contains an edible and non-lethal animal-derived component, a cell culturing scaffold material containing the adhesion improver, a tissue body containing the cell culturing scaffold material, etc.

A cell culturing scaffold material suitable for the production of a cultured meat can be produced by applying an adhesion improver containing an edible and non-lethal animal-derived component to an edible base material for cell culturing.

An apparatus configured to process foodstuff materials can include an exterior tube, an inner shaft, and multiple differently shaped protrusions. The exterior tube can have a foodstuff inlet, an outlet, and a longitudinal axis, and can be configured to facilitate the conveyance of foodstuff materials along a material passage from the foodstuff inlet to the outlet. The inner shaft can be located within the exterior tube, can extend along the longitudinal axis, and can combine with the exterior tube to define the material passage. The inner shaft can be configured to be rotationally driven. The multiple differently shaped protrusions can be coupled to and extend from the inner shaft, and these differently shaped protrusions can be configured to process the foodstuff materials when the inner shaft is rotationally driven. Processing can include conveying, agitating, and/or hydrating the foodstuff materials.

The present invention is directed to provide a meat-like food product having good food texture and being free of meat. The meat-like food product is produced by a method for producing a meat-like food product. The method includes an extrusion molding a kneaded product using an extruder while forcibly cooling to thereby produce an extrusion-molded product. The kneaded product is produced by kneading water and a raw material containing a protein while heating. In the extrusion molding, the extrusion-molded product is forcibly cooled when discharged from the extruder such that the temperature of a central portion of the extrusion-molded product is in a range from 110? ? C. to 125? C. The water content of the extrusion-molded product is from 45 mass % to 60 mass % with respect to the total mass of the extrusion-molded product.

A protein composition derived from silk fibroin, which composition possesses enhanced solubility and stability in aqueous solutions. The primary amino acid sequence of native fibroin is modified in the SDP such that cysteine disulfide bonds between the fibroin heavy and fibroin light protein chains are reduced or eliminated. Additionally, the composition can have a serine content that is reduced by greater than 40% compared to native fibroin protein, and the average molecular weight of the SDP is less than about 100 kDa.
