- the present invention relates to a process for industrially producing human food-graded mycoprotein and/or fungal biomass from grain crops.
- the present invention relates to a process for producing human food-graded fungal biomass rich in mycoprotein and/or essential amino acids, said process comprising cultivating Neurospora intermedia in liquid medium under aerobic conditions.
- the present invention also relates to a novel fungal biomass, rich in mycoprotein and/or essential amino acids, which is produced with the process of the present invention, for use as a nutritious source for human use.
- the present invention further relates to food produced with and/or comprising the novel human food-graded Neurospora intermedia biomass produced with the process of the present invention.
- mycoproteins One alternative to animal proteins are mycoproteins. E.g. QuornTM products first came to market in the 1980s and are produced from the microorganism Fusarium venenatum. Mycoproteins are an excellent source of high quality protein and contain all the essential amino acids for adults. Mycoproteins are high in dietary fibre, low in fat and saturated fats and contain less cholesterol or trans fats than animal proteins. Mycoproteins are also low in sodium.
- Neurospora contains both yeasts and fungi. Neurospora is commonly known as orange bread mold. It first received major attention in 1843, when there was a Neurospora infestation in French bakeries. Neurospora was domesticated for research purposes in the 1920s. There are three species of Neurospora classified today, namely Neurospora crassa, Neurospora intermedia and Neurospora tetrasperma.
- Neurospora is widely used in genetics as a model organism (especially N. crassa) because it is quickly reproducing, is easy to culture and can survive on minimal media (inorganic salts, glucose, water and biotin in agar). Neurospora intermedia var.
- oncomensis is believed to be the only mold belonging to Neurospora which is used in food production, such as in the production of oncom.
- oncom is made from the by-products from the production of other foods: soy bean tailings (okara) left from making tofu, peanut press cake left after the oil has been pressed out, cassava tailings when extracting the starch ( pati singkong), coconut press cake remaining after oil has been pressed out or when coconut milk has been produced. Since oncom production uses by-products to make food, it increases the economic efficiency of food production. Black oncom is made by using Rhizopus oligosporus while red oncom is made by using Neurospora intermedia var. oncomensis.
- Neurospora intermedia var. oncomensis has been used to produce Oncom, low-salt miso by koji fermentation using soy-oncom and okara-oncom (9:1 ), (oncom miso, i.e. O-miso) as well as for processing colored quinoa seeds which were subjected to a modified oncom-type processing (precooking followed by solid-state fermentation with Neurospora intermedia).
