A method of forming an edible meat substitute product includes obtaining a liquid waste stream from a pea protein processor. The method includes adjusting the pH of the liquid waste stream to be in a range of 5.5 to 6.0 so as to form a growth media. The method includes growing fungal cells in the growth media comprising the liquid waste stream obtained from a pea processor such that the fungal cells produce a mycelium mass. The method includes separating the mycelium mass from the growth media. The method includes concentrating the mycelium to obtain a fibrous mycelium mass having a protein content of greater than 40 wt % of a dry mass of the mycelium.

The present invention relates to use of a laccase for controlled enzymatic browning of a meat analogue product comprising a red pigment which changes colour when oxidized. Preferably, the laccase is embedded in a fat having a melting temperature of at least 25° C. such that the oxidation of the red pigment occurs only at elevated temperature, e.g. during cooking of the meat analogue product.

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 %.

This disclosure provides for methods and compositions for the expression and secretion of heme-containing polypeptides.

An elongate product comprises a filamentous fungus wherein the product has a dimension (A) measured in a first direction and a dimension (B) measured in a second direction, wherein dimension (A) is in the range 2 mm to 15 mm and dimension (B) is in the range 10 mm to 50 mm. The product is frozen mechanically in a relatively short time to produce ice-crystal sizes within the product of less than 20.0 μm, s. The product has a very long shelf life and when defrosted is found to perform like fresh paste when mixed with other ingredients.
