The present disclosure relates to unique soluble pea protein product can be used alone to make aerated bakery products, confections, desserts, sauces, and beverages. The soluble pea protein product can be combined with insoluble pea protein product to make a range of food products with higher protein content than when insoluble, globular pea protein product is used alone, due to the viscosity reducing nature of the soluble pea protein product when it is combined with insoluble globular pea protein product. The soluble pea protein products when combined with insoluble pea protein products, make a resulting pea protein product that has a PDCAAS of about 0.75-1.00. The process to make this unique soluble pea protein includes means of selectively separating the soluble pea protein product from the insoluble fractions of ground peas, as well as selectively separating the soluble pea protein from soluble carbohydrates and ash. This Abstract is not intended to identify key features or essential features of subject matter, nor does this Abstract intend to be used to limit the scope of claimed subject matter.

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 invention pertains to a soft-baked biscuit that is high in protein, and methods of making the same, that includes a protein component, a multi-textured mouth feel, and crispy inclusions contrasting with a moist and chewy matrix. The protein component may include a powdered protein source and a particulate protein source. The particulate protein source may be in the form of protein crisps, pops, tots, flakes, puffs, inclusions, pellets, bits, and/or particles. In some embodiments of the invention, the protein source includes a powdered protein source in an amount of about 35% by weight of the protein source to about 85% by weight protein powder and about 15% by weight to about 65% by weight particulate protein such as protein crisps. In another embodiment, the softbaked biscuit may include a protein component and a grain flour, wherein the flour is at least 4% by weight of the soft-baked biscuit. In still further embodiments of the invention, the soft-baked biscuits may be high in protein due to the inclusion of two protein sources while maintaining a low density of up to 0.92 g/cm.sup.3 and a water activity (Aw) of between about 0.5 and about 0.7.

Disclosed are methods for separating non-soy plant materials to produce a fat-enriched fraction, a reduced-fat plant extract, reduced-fat plant protein compositions, a crude oil, plant gums, a degummed oil and a protein-fat sediment. Also disclosed are food products containing or prepared from the reduced-fat extracts, fat-enriched fraction, gums, oils, protein-fat sediments and reduced-fat protein compositions.
