The invention relates to a method for producing a solid transformation product of a substrate comprising the following steps: •preparing a substrate of biomass comprising carbohydrates and proteinaceous matter that originates from soya bean, rape seed, or mixtures thereof, optionally in further mixture with carbohydrates and proteinaceous matter originating from fava beans, peas, sunflower seeds, lupine, cereals, and/or grasses, •mixing said substrate with a live microorganism or a combination of live microorganisms, which live microorganism or mixture of live microorganisms is not live yeast, and adding water in an amount which provides an initial incubation mixture having a water content from 30 to 70% by weight, and a ratio of wet bulk density to dry bulk density from 0.60 to 1.45 in the resulting mixture; •incubating said initial incubation mixture for 1-240 hours at a temperature of 15-70° C.; and thereafter recovering wet solid transformation product from the incubation mixture; further comprising that the incubating step is performed as a continuous plug-flow process in a vertical, non-agitated incubation tank with inlet means for said mixture and additives and outlet means for said solid transformation product.

The present invention discloses a method to manufacture synthetic meat through recombinant expression of muscle proteins in edible biological hosts. The present invention particularly discloses to a method to manufacture synthetic meat that may overcome the issue of huge consumption of precious water, food and large rural area during the conventional practices of meat production. In addition, the method disclosed in the present invention aids in the significant reduction of animal slaughter.
