This disclosure generally describes comestible cell-based food products including a combination of cultured cells and dry cell powder and methods for preparing such cell-based food products. In one or more embodiments, the comestible cell-based food product comprises a mixture of cultured animal cells and dry cultured animal cell powder. For example, the comestible cell-based food product is produced by generating a homogenous mixture of cultured animal cells and dry cultured animal cell powder. In one or more embodiments, the dry cultured animal cell powder improves the texture of the resultant comestible cell-based food product by tailoring the hardness and/or adhesiveness of the comestible cell-based food product.

A process for producing an animal meal including the steps of a) contacting an animal by-product comprising protein and fat with hydroxytyrosol; b) heating at a temperature from 50 C. to 250 C. until the fat contained in the animal by-product is melted; c) separating the melted fat from the animal by-product; and d) grinding the animal by-product thereby obtaining the animal meal. An animal meal or fat obtainable by this process of the invention; and food, pet food, or animal feed comprising said animal meal or fat.

A meat-containing puffed foodstuff and a preparation method therefor where the method includes providing a puffed pellet including grain and meat; providing dried meat; mixing the dried meat with the puffed pellets to form a mixture; feeding the mixture into a chamber of a pressure-molding apparatus; exposing the mixture to an increased pressure and temperature inside the chamber for a selected period of time; and rapidly expanding the volume of the chamber to cause a rapid expansion of the contained mixture to obtain the puffed chip, that is, the meat-containing puffed food, in which the meat-containing puffed food has a total meat addition amount of 5 wt. % or more based on a total weight of the meat-containing puffed food.
