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.

Methods involve feeding livestock animals a milk replacer, where the milk replacer includes non-milk proteins and phytase. Prior to feeding the milk replacer, the phytase may be activated through heat and moisture treatment. The activated phytase may rest for an activation period and the milk replacer containing the activated phytase may be fed to the animal thereafter. The livestock animals may be calves, and may be between about 0 and about 3 weeks of age. In response to ingesting the milk replacer, the calves may increase a rate of weight gain.

The present disclosure relates generally to soybean products derived from high protein soybeans, and more specifically to soybean compositions having high protein content and methods of preparing and using such protein enriched soybean compositions. The present disclosure also relates to uses of the protein enriched soybean compositions in food products.

Algal flour and algal biomass are disclosed. Food compositions comprising algal biomass or algal flour with a high lipid content are disclosed.

The present invention relates to a method for the preparation of a microparticulated rBLG (recombinant -lactoglobulin), a microparticulated rBLG obtained from said method and a composition thereof, and the use of such microparticulated rBLG for making animal and non-animal dairy products.

One variation of a non-dairy milk product includes: a first portion of a starch; a second portion of plant-extracted proteins; a first amount of a first enzyme configured to catalyze hydrolysis of a first proportion of the first portion of the starch into sugar units; a second amount of a second enzyme configured to catalyze hydrolysis of a second proportion of the second portion of plant-extracted proteins into amino acids; and a third amount of a third enzyme configured to catalyze synthesis of protein bonds between plant-extracted proteins in a third proportion of the second portion of the plant-extracted proteins to form a protein matrix.
