Provided herein is a process for increasing the dissolution rate of a sparingly water soluble flavor or taste modifying compound in water comprising: a. mixing the compound and a highly water soluble second compound in a water based solution to form a solution or dispersion of the compound; and b. drying the solution or dispersion to form a solution or solid dispersion of the compound wherein the compound has an increased dissolution rate in water as compared to the compound when dissolved in water alone.

Methods, and compositions derived thereof, for preparing a myceliated amino-acid-supplemented high-protein food product having desired digestibility and amino acid content. An aqueous medium comprising a high-protein material is inoculated with a fungal culture to produce a myceliated amino acid-supplemented high-protein food product. The plant protein can include pea, rice and/or chickpea protein. The fungi can include Lentinula spp., Agaricus spp., Pleurotus spp., Boletus spp., or Laetiporus spp. Preferably, the myceliated amino acid-supplemented high-protein food product has reduced bitterness and/or reduced volatile amino-acid-derived aroma compared to high-protein amino acid-supplemented material that is not myceliated. Also disclosed are myceliated amino-acid-supplemented high-protein food products and compositions, such as dairy alternative products, beverages and beverage bases, extruded and extruded/puffed products, meat analogs and extenders, baked goods and baking mixes, texturized plant-based protein products, granola products, bar products, smoothies and juices, and soups and soup bases.
