The disclosure relates to methods, systems and compositions for producing Buffalo milk, milk proteins and milk products. More specifically, the disclosure relates to methods systems, and compositions for continuously, batch-wise and semi-continuously produce Buffalo milk, milk proteins and milk products using transformed/transfected yeast and/or fungi and/or bacteria and/or algea cultured in bioreactors and/or fermenters, to express and/or secrete Bubalus bubalis Casein, Whey protein and additional proteins, collecting the expressed product and using it for producing various products.

Protein-rich nutrient supplements and animal feed supplements derived from an anaerobic bacterial process are generated through a myriad of cell rupturing and protein fractionation/purification processes. Bacterial fermentation systems and methods of obtaining one or more protein-containing portions from a fermentation process using carbon monoxide-containing gaseous substrates increasing protein product yield from bacterial cells are provided. The invention further provides compositions of protein-rich nutrient supplements with useful applications for intake by a variety of different animals and humans.

Provided are methods to produce an edible filamentous fungal biomass using an aqueous media which has a carbon source including an extract of dates; and a nitrogen source into which is inoculated filamentous fungal culture followed by culturing in a submerged fungal culture to produce an edible filamentous fungal biomass, wherein the fungal culture comprises Pleurotus spp. The culture may be grown to at least about 25 g/L (dry weight) with a productivity of at least 2.5 g/L/day (dry weight) during the culturing step. Also provided herein are compositions including an edible filamentous fungus.

The present disclosure provides a composition comprising, (i) protein at a protein content of at least about 16% by dry weight, wherein at least about 50% by dry weight of the protein has an amino acid sequence encoded by one or more fungal genomes, and (ii) one or more materials selected from the group consisting of a flour, an oil, a flavoring agent, and a nutritional supplement, wherein the composition has a water content that is less than or equal to about 30% water by weight.

The present invention relates to a process for preparing a natural flavor base and a flavor base obtainable by such process. A further aspect of the invention is a method for providing a natural roasty, a natural caramel, a natural pop-corn, a natural biscuit and/or a natural buttery flavor note to a food product.

Methods of production of edible filamentous fungal biomat formulations are provided as standalone protein sources and/or protein ingredients in foodstuffs as well as a one-time use or repeated use self-contained biomat reactor comprising a container with at least one compartment and placed within the compartment(s), a feedstock, a fungal inoculum, a gas-permeable membrane, and optionally a liquid nutrient medium.

The present invention is directed to plant-based vegan egg compositions and methods of producing such compositions. The plant-based vegan egg compositions of the invention comprise tofu, flour, water, kala namak, a plant-based cream, tapioca starch, corn starch, natural yellow food colouring, white pepper powder, garlic powder, onion powder and a gum. In specific embodiments of the invention, the vegan simulated beaten egg compositions are used for producing an omelette, an egg patty, or shreds.

An edible meat substitute product includes a fibrous mycelium mass in a range of 10 wt % to 100 wt %. The fibrous mycelium mass has a protein content greater than 40 wt % of a dry mass of the fibrous mycelium mass. The edible meat substitute product includes a water content in a range of 0 w % to 90 wt %.
