The invention relates in general to a method of making a plant based liquid, said method comprising dispersing triglyceride in a plant protein mixture; forming an emulsion; applying a thermal treatment to the emulsion; and applying a shear treatment to the thermal treated emulsion to form a plant based liquid.

The present application relates to a composition for a food supplement and/or a cosmetic product comprising: at least 70% by weight of a vegetable oil and/or fat substance, at least 0.5% by weight silica, and at least 0.05% by weight of Bacillus subtilis selected from one of the strains comprising LA13030, CU1, HU58, DE 111, DSM 15544, PXN 21, Rosell-179 and/or DSM 33619.

Provided are a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating a coronavirus infection or infectious disease, a composition for disinfection, and a health functional food or feed composition, all including nano-sized graphene oxide, and a method of using the same. Since the nano-sized graphene oxide or a complex thereof has anti-coronavirus activity, the graphene oxide may be used for prevention or treatment of a coronavirus infection, or disinfection of coronaviruses.

The present invention provides a foam body suitable for producing a cultured meat having a good texture. The foam body of the present invention includes alginic acid and/or an alginate. The foam body has an elastic modulus M, as determined by a test, of 8×10.sup.4 Pa or less. In the test, the foam body is immersed in 22±3° C. water for 4 hours to prepare a specimen having a post-immersion thickness of 5±1 mm. Stress and strain caused in the specimen are measured by applying a load to the specimen for 5 seconds to compress the specimen in a thickness direction at 0.5 mm/sec. A stress caused in the specimen when the specimen is compressed by 10% of an initial thickness is determined, and a value obtained by dividing the stress by a corresponding strain is determined as the elastic modulus M.

Process for the preparation of a fibrous product comprising protein and having a moisture content of at least 65% by weight by first preparing a homogenous mixture of protein material comprising cheese, a moisture binder material, a calcium-complex forming agent, a hydrocolloid which precipitates with metal cations and water at a temperature from 70 to 90° C. under high shear with the pH of the homogenous mixture being from 6.4 to 7.5. The homogenous mixture has a water content of at least 75% by weight, whilst total protein content is from 5 to 20% by weight. A solution of a metal cation with a valency of at least 2 is subsequently added in order to form the fibrous product. This fibrous product is then isolated and cooled. The fibrous product thus obtained is particularly suitable for use in preparing meat substitute products.

Capsules contain in their interior a water-based substance, and are coated with a film of alginate of an alkaline earth metal selected from calcium and magnesium. The capsules are of a larger size than previous capsules, while maintaining their sphericality. The capsules of water-based substances are obtained by incubating the capsules in suspension.

A composite material 100 of the present invention includes silicon particles or silicon fine particles 10 capable of generating hydrogen, and a metal element (iron (Fe)) 20 supported on, or attached or adsorbed to at least a part of surfaces of the silicon particles or silicon fine particles 10, or chemically bonded to the surfaces. According to the composite material 100, it is possible to exhibit a capability of generating hydrogen much higher than that of silicon particles or silicon fine particles 10 on which the metal element 20 is hardly supported or to which the metal element 20 is hardly attached or adsorbed, or silicon particles or silicon fine particles 10 which are hardly chemically bonded to the metal element.

Process for the preparation of a fibrous product comprising protein, which process comprises the steps of (a) preparing a homogenous mixture of protein material comprising milk protein material, a hydrocolloid which precipitates with metal cations, and water in the presence of a calcium complex-forming agent at a temperature between 50° C. and 90° C.; (b) adding a solution of a metal cation with a valency of at least 2 to the mixture obtained in step (a) in order to form the fibrous product; (c) isolating the fibrous product; (d) cooling the fibrous product, wherein in step (d) the fibrous product is cooled to a temperature below 10° C., preferably between 0 and 7° C., by vacuum cooling. The product thus obtained is particularly suitable for use in preparing meat substitute products.
