The present invention relates to a cereal flour-based dough comprising at least 50 wt. % cereal flour, based on the dry weight of the cereal flour-based dough, and rapeseed protein, wherein said rapeseed protein is present in an amount between 0.01 and 15 wt. %, based on the weight of the cereal flour in the cereal flour-based dough, wherein the cereal flour has a gluten content of 5-20 wt. %.

An algal-derived consumable comprises: (i) an algal biomass derived from at least one species of algae, such as Klebsormidium; and (ii) optionally at least one additional ingredient, such as flavoring ingredients, colorants, seasonings, food additives, food components, and nutrients. The consumable may comprise a dietary supplement, a food ingredient or a finished food product. A method of manufacturing a consumable comprises: harvesting raw wet algae, removing water to produce a de-watered algal material; optionally cutting and/or shaping the de-watered material; drying; and optionally seasoning.

An egg substitute composition includes a substantially egg-less dry mixture that includes a starch and/or lipid source and/or a protein source, and a hydrocolloid system. The hydrocolloid system includes a mixture of hydrocolloids and a crosslinking agent. The crosslinking agent is adapted to crosslink the mixture of hydrocolloids upon the introduction of a liquid. The mixture of hydrocolloids includes a lower-temperature gelling hydrocolloid and a higher-temperature gelling hydrocolloid. The compositions may further include a liquid activator, which may be added to the dry mix to hydrate the composition, and enable use of the composition in any application typically calling for raw eggs, e.g., scrambled eggs, omelets, frittatas, etc. The compositions (in dry or hydrated form) may also be used as egg-substitutes in various different applications, such as in emulsions (e.g., mayonnaise), and baking mixes.
