Provided herein are shelf-stable protein food ingredients, food products comprising the shelf-stable protein food ingredients, methods of their production, and methods of their use. The shelf-stable protein food ingredients comprise cultured fungal biomass and a limited amount of water. Advantageously, the shelf-stable protein food ingredients can be stored, transported, and delivered within the food supply.

Methods of separating components traditionally considered as waste material from mold-fermented compositions are described. The waste components can be separated either from unfiltered compositions or from a separation stream separated from a composition. In some embodiments, filamentous fungus used in the production of the mold-fermented composition is specifically targeted for separation. Incorporation of separated waste components into various products are also described herein. In some embodiments, the separated components are used in alternative meat products and other foods designed for human consumption. Separated components can also be used in animal feed, as feed stock for other fermentation processes, or for use in treating food, creating cosmetics, or chemical processes.

The present disclosure relates to a food product comprising a pure fungi biomass, the pure fungi biomass comprising fungi of a species belonging to the genus Rhizopus, wherein the dry weight of the food product comprises within the range of from 10% to 100% of dry weight of the fungi biomass the fungi biomass comprising fungi biomass fibers, wherein 50% or more, such as 70% or more, or 80% or more of the fungi biomass fibers are aligned substantially in planes extending in a first direction. The present disclosure also relates to a method for producing the food product and use of a pure fungi biomass for preparing a food product.

The present disclosure relates to novel compounds and a method of preventing or treating cancer using the same, and more particularly to compounds having structural formulae 1 to 3. The compounds of the present disclosure exhibit an excellent activity of inhibiting various cancer cells, and thus can be effectively used in a composition or method for preventing, alleviating, or treating cancer.
