The present technology provides a process comprising: subjecting flocculated thin stillage comprising stillage solids and a polymer flocculent to a barrel screen to separate a liquid stream from a solids stream, wherein the solids stream comprises flocs of the polymer flocculant and the stillage solids; combining the solids stream with an effective amount of a demulsifier and/or inorganic particles to form a treated solids mixture; aging the treated solids mixture for a period of time at a temperature of 160 to 212 F. to form an aged solids mixture; and separating oil and water from the aged solids mixture to provide a high protein cake comprising at least 35% dry weight crude protein.

This disclosure provides a technology for developing alternative protein sources for use in industrial food production. The technology evaluates naturally occurring proteins by a process that is done partly in silico and partly by empirical evaluation. A database is created in which each individual protein is characterized by vector representations of structural and functional features. Clusters of individual proteins are formed by pairwise comparison of each protein's vector representation, adjusting the degree of similarity used to define clusters until a desired number of clusters are obtained. A protein representative is selected from each cluster for evaluation by high-throughput expression and laboratory testing for a particular food function. High scoring representatives identify clusters that can be mined for additional protein candidates. Multiple cycles of the machine learning, database mining, expression and testing yield ingredients suitable for assessment as part of a commercial food product.

Provided herein are recombinant animal-free food compositions comprising egg-white proteins such as ovalbumin, ovotransferrin and lysozyme and methods of making such food compositions.

A process to ferment lactose and molasses, to obtain unicellular biomass is disclosed. The described process allows obtaining a product of high protein value which will be in the range of 50 to 90% for its application in the food industry. The process uses as a means of propagation whey of cheese or molasses, for the use by Kluyveromyces marxianus to obtain unicellular biomass and subsequently unicellular protein.
