MEAT ALTERNATIVE PRODUCT AND PROCESS
The present invention relates to a plant based fat composition for meat analogues comprising a glucomannan gum, a fat, a browning agent; a coagulating agent; and water. The invention also relates to a process for preparing the fat composition and to a meat analogue containing the fat composition. The fat composition ensures that the meat analogue is crispy on the outside when heated (fried, baked) while maintaining a chewy texture throughout.
Coagulation factor VIII with reduced immunogenicity
The invention describes factor VIII molecules with reduced capacity to elicit activation of NKT cells for use in the treatment of congenital and/or acquired haemophilia A and in bleeding disorders. Said factor VIII molecule is obtainable by: a. identification of at least one NKT cell epitope wherein said epitope comprises hydrophobic aminoacid residues in position P1 and/or P7 b. modification of said epitope(s) by eliminating at least one hydrophobic aminoacid residue in position P1 and/or P7, substituting at least one hydrophobic aminoacid residue in position P1 and/or P7 with a non-hydrophobic residue, or adding a non-hydrophobic residue in position P1 and/or P7.
