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 relates to the use of probiotics, preferably one or more probiotic bacteria, to increase the absorption of proteins or the bioavailability thereof, preferably in individuals with increased protein and/or energy requirements, preferably elderly persons, children, pregnant women or athletes.

The present invention relates to a process for cultivating one or more microorganisms capable of metabolising methane, the process comprises the steps of: (i) adding a fermentation medium to a fermentation reactor; (ii) adding the one or more microorganism to a fermentation reactor, providing an inoculated fermentation medium, wherein the one or more microorganism does not include a recombinant microorganism; (iii) adding a C1-C5 carbon source, e.g. methane, to the fermentation reactor and/or the inoculated fermentation medium during the fermentation of the one or more microorganisms; and (iv) optionally, adding oxygen to the fermentation reactor and/or the inoculated fermentation medium during the fermentation of the one or more microorganisms, wherein the oxygen is added to the fermentation reactor and/or the inoculated fermentation medium to provide a content of undissolved oxygen in the fermentation reactor and/or a content of gaseous oxygen in an exhaust gas is at most 10% (vol/vol).

An acetic acid bacteria-containing composition comprising nonanal and methylheptenone, and having a peak area ratio of nonanal to methylheptenone (nonanal:methylheptenone), as determined by stir bar sorptive extraction thermal desorption gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SBSE-GC/MS), of 1:10 to 100:1.

The present invention relates to a composition for enhancing exercise capacity and recovery from fatigue containing fermented and aged noni, coconut sugar or muscovado sugar as an active ingredient, and more specifically, to a composition enhancing exercise capacity and recovery from fatigue, which has the effects of enhancing exercise capacity and inhibiting the accumulation of fatigue substances in blood by increasing glycogen storage in tissue and liver function. The present invention provides a food composition for exercise capacity enhancement and anti-fatigue, which is useful in the food industry. The composition of the present invention enables recovery from fatigue or enhancement of athletic ability to be achieved quickly by promoting the reduction of fatigue substances, and may provide sports drink products, functional food products and pharmaceutical composition products that are effective in enhancing recovery from fatigue and exercise capacity.

Described herein are composition and method for manufacturing a cultured plant-based dairy alternative based on fermenting ancient grains. In one aspect, the composition contains flour of one or more ancient grains, one or more plant seed butters, one or more plant-based creams, one or more texturizers or stabilizers, and water that is cultured to form a hypoallergenic plant-based dairy alternative containing no added monosaccharides or disaccharides.
