The present invention relates to the field of cultured meat, also referred to as clean meat or cell-based meat, particularly to cell cultures for producing cultured meat having sensory properties (color, taste and aroma) at least resembling whole-animal derived meat and improved nutritional value. The present invention further provides culture media for producing the cell cultures and high-quality cultured meat.

This document relates to food products containing highly conjugated heterocyclic rings complexed to an iron ion and one or more flavor precursors, and using such food products to modulate the flavor and/or aroma profile of other foods. The food products described herein can be prepared in various ways and can be formulated to be free of animal products.

The present invention provides peptoid polymers capable of reducing or inhibiting the formation of ice crystals at sub 0° C. temperatures. Also provided are peptoid-peptide hybrids comprising the peptoid polymers provided herein. The peptoid polymers and peptoid-peptide hybrids provided herein are useful for making cryoprotectant solutions. The peptoid polymers, peptoid-peptide hybrids, and cryoprotectant solutions provided herein are useful for making antifreeze solutions, frozen food products, and cosmetic care products. Also provided herein are methods for preserving a tissue, an organ, a cell, or a biological macromolecule using the compositions described herein.

The present invention relates to use of a laccase for controlled enzymatic browning of a meat analogue product comprising a red pigment which changes colour when oxidized. Preferably, the laccase is embedded in a fat having a melting temperature of at least 25° C. such that the oxidation of the red pigment occurs only at elevated temperature, e.g. during cooking of the meat analogue product.

The present invention provides a powdered vinegar that comprises partly neutralized vinegar, i.e. vinegar derived acid that is partly neutralized with e.g. sodium and/or potassium hydroxide, and free vinegar derived acid. The invention also provides a process for producing such a powdered vinegar and the use of this powdered vinegar in a foodstuff or a beverage, e.g. as a preservative. The present process offers the advantage that it yields a stable, free flowing powdered vinegar that can suitably be used as a preservative in e.g. processed meat products. The powdered vinegar has a high content of free acid, is easy to dissolve and acts as an acidulant.

The present invention provides a meat product comprising (a) uncooked meat; wherein the uncooked meat has been contacted with (b) acerola [Malpighia emarginata] berry, acerola [Malpighia emarginata] berry extract or mixtures thereof (c) green tea [Camellia sinensis], green tea [Camellia sinensis] extract or mixtures thereof.

Methods and compositions for the production of non-meat consumable products are described herein. A meat substitute is described which is constructed from a muscle analog, a fat analog, and a connective tissue analog.

This document relates to food products containing highly conjugated heterocyclic rings complexed to an iron ion and one or more flavor precursors, and using such food products to modulate the flavor and/or aroma profile of other foods. The food products described herein can be prepared in various ways and can be formulated to be free of animal products.

Provided are food products that have structures, textures, and other properties comparable to those of animal meat, and that may therefore serve as substitutes for animal meat. Also provided are processes for production of such ground meat-like food products.

The present invention relates to the abietane diterpene taxodione and to rosemary stem extract containing taxodione for their use in treating a muscle wasting diseases and/or disorders; it also relates to the use of taxodione as natural meat preserver.
