This study aimed to modify the sensory properties of rapeseed protein concentrate using a combination fermentation and high-moisture extrusion processing for producing meat analogues. The was carried out with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Weissella confusa strains, known their flavour structure-enhancing properties. Contrary expectations, evaluation revealed that induced bitterness disrupted fibrous structure formation ability due generation short peptides. On other hand, removed intensive...
This study evaluated the nutritional quality of different microbial biomass samples by assessing their protein digestibility and carbohydrate fermentability in colon using vitro methods. Four were produced: one hydrogen-oxidizing bacterial strain (Nocardioides nitrophenolicus KGS-27), two strains filamentous fungi (Rhizopus oligosporus Paecilomyces variotii), yeast (Rhodotorula babjevae). The microorganisms grown bioreactors, harvested dried before analysis. commercial fungal product Quorn...
The synergistic effect of lactic acid fermentation and high-moisture extrusion processing pea protein on the microbiological sensory properties plant-based sausages was investigated. Plant-based were formed by combining fermented concentrate (PPC) biomass with extruded isolate (PPI). Pea Lactococcus lactis subsp. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum to improve perceived structure, texture, flavour (specifically via expression glutamic which is connected umami flavour) sausages. prepared stuffing...
Abstract This work explored whether partial cellulose bioconversion with fungal mycelium can improve the properties of fibre-based materials. We demonstrate an efficient approach for producing cellulose-mycelium composites utilizing several cellulosic matrices and show that these materials match fossil-derived polymeric foams on water contact angle, compression strength, thermal conductivity, exhibit selective antimicrobial properties. Fossil-based commonly used applications are highly...
Foamed cellulose provides an opportunity to reduce carbon emissions and decrease plastic pollution associated with synthetics used for thermal insulation packaging. Contemporary synthetic foams (polystyrene polyurethane) are positive challenging recycle. Cellulose is abundant can be sustainably harvested but hygroscopic making it unsuitable many applications. We explored effect of introducing mycelium into overcome these limitations. Samples were created by incubating foamed non-foamed...
