The present invention relates to a process for preparing an edible foodstuff from food industry waste stream byproducts. This process involves the steps of: (i) combining, in an extruder, an extrusion formulation comprising a first food byproduct and at least one additional ingredient; (ii) introducing supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO.sub.2) into the extruder to mix with the first food byproduct and the at least one additional ingredient; and (iii) producing an edible foodstuff containing the first food byproduct and the at least one additional ingredient, where the edible foodstuff comprises an extrudate prepared under supercritical fluid extrusion (SCFX) conditions. The present invention also relates to a process for preparing an edible foodstuff from a protein concentrate. The present invention further relates to edible foodstuffs produced by the various processes disclosed herein.

A process for dewatering biomass material comprising polysaccharide and water. The process comprises wetting the biomass material with a wetting composition comprising an alcohol to form a biomass slurry comprising wetted biomass material and a liquid component, mechanically separating a portion of the liquid component from the biomass slurry, and mechanically separating at least a portion of the water from the wetted biomass material. A process for extracting polysaccharide from the biomass material and a dewatered biomass material are also disclosed.

Materials and methods for producing chocolate replicas from individual components are provided herein.

Systems and methods are provided for a system for extracting volatile components from produce. In an embodiment, a conveying mechanism is configured to transit produce from a first point to a second point, where a peel of the produce is penetrated during said transit such that a portion of volatile components in the produce peel are released from the peel as a vapor. A hood is positioned over the conveying mechanism for capturing the vapor, where the system is configured to extract at least a portion of the volatile components of the vapor captured via the hood.
