Provided is a method for preparing starch and a non-thermal-denaturation protein powder by using rice as a raw material. The method comprises: crushing, pulping, homogenizing and centrifugally removing water from rice to obtain a solid phase and wastewater; and adding a specific gravity regulator, i.e. a syrup, into the solid phase, and separating the material into three phases: a heavy phase, a light phase and a liquid phase, wherein the heavy phase is used for preparing starch, the light phase is used for preparing a protein powder and a syrup, part of the liquid phase is reused, and the other part of the liquid phase is used for preparing the syrup; the wastewater generated during the preparation process is reused for the preparation of a syrup material; and the syrup is used as the specific gravity regulator.

The present disclosure provides fish-derived peptides with ACE inhibitory activity, and methods of producing peptide isolates comprising the fish-derived peptides. The present disclosure also provides pharmaceutical products, dietary supplements, and functional foods including the peptide isolates, and method of lowering blood pressure of a subject by administering to the subject one or more of the fish-derived peptides.

The present invention describes a bio-based process to produce high quality protein concentrate (HQPC) by converting plant derived celluloses into bioavailable protein via aerobic incubation, including the use of such HQPC so produced as a nutrient, including use as a fish meal replacement in aquaculture diets.

A method for producing a high-purity rice protein powder and a rice syrup is provided. The method includes: homogenizing a rice slurry, adding amylase thereto, heating the resulting mixture for a reaction to obtain a rice syrup liquid, and subjecting same to centrifugal separation to separately obtain a liquid-phase rice sugar liquid and a first precipitate; subjecting the liquid-phase rice sugar liquid to decoloration, ion exchange and evaporation to obtain a rice syrup, adding the first precipitate into second wastewater, and subjecting same to washing and centrifugal dewatering to obtain a second precipitate; adding pure water into the second precipitate, stirring same until uniform, heating same to 60 C. or more, maintaining the temperature, and dehydrating same to obtain a filter cake and second wastewater; and crushing and drying the filter cake to obtain a rice protein powder with a high purity and without thermal denaturation.

This disclosure describes methods to separate solids from liquids in a production facility. A process separates components in the process stream by applying non-condensable media to create density differences and then using a mechanical device to separate the solids from the liquids based on the density difference. The process produces the liquids and solids, which may be further processed to create valuable animal feed products.

The invention relates to preparation of plant-based meat analogue products with Leuconostoc carnosum. Such products can be made by inoculating a composition comprising said bacteria on plant based starting material. The invention also provides use of Leuconostoc carnosum for improving the sensory properties of such products.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a processing technology for increasing the free glutamic acid content of a protein hydrolysate. A processed plant protein-containing composition that is obtained by a method for producing a processed plant-containing composition which includes a step for treating a plant protein-containing composition with a proteolytic enzyme and a protein glutaminase has an increased free glutamic acid content.

A process for using bacterial or fungal metalloprotease and trypsin to solve problems associated with conventional protease extraction techniques by dramatically reducing temperature, incubation time and proteolysis during protease extraction. The present disclosure relates to a protease treatment for increasing yield from plant or other material by extracting nutrients from the fibrous waste portion of milled plant material while preserving the nutritional and functional qualities of the extracted material for use as a food product. The process preserves the quality of the extracted material, including beta glucan and protein, by utilizing low temperatures and minimal protease activity and digestion time during extraction.
