Description

Technical Field

[0001] Cross - reference to related applications This application claims priority based on U.S. Patent Application No. 61 / 572,205 filed on July 12, 2011 and incorporates the entire contents thereof herein by reference as part of this specification.

Background Art

[0002] Livestock production has a profound negative environmental impact. Currently, 30% of the earth's land surface is allocated to livestock production, and livestock are estimated to account for 20% of the total terrestrial animal biomass. Due to this large scale, industrial livestock production accounts for more than 18% of net greenhouse gas emissions. Livestock production can be the largest cause of water pollution caused by humans, and livestock production is, apart from groups, the greatest threat to biodiversity. If people around the world could shift from meat - containing diets to diets without livestock products, it is estimated that 26% of the earth's land surface would be released for other uses. Furthermore, a shift to a vegan diet is thought to significantly reduce water and energy consumption.

[0003] Meat consumption has a profound negative impact on human health. The health benefits of a vegan diet are well recognized. If people shift to a vegan diet, cost savings in healthcare are expected to be significant.

[0004] [[ID=4३]] Hunger is a global problem, but the world's four major crops (soybeans, corn, wheat, and rice) already supply more than 100% of the calories and all essential amino acids in the protein that people need.

[0005] ​​​​​​​​​​​ Plant-based meat substitutes have had little effect in driving a shift towards vegetarian diets. The current meat substitute composition involves extruding a soybean / grain mixture, and does not contain meat. These products fail to replicate the culinary and culinary experience to a great extent. A common limitation of these products. It has a more uniform texture and mouthfeel than the corresponding meat products. Furthermore, the majority of the product is artificial. Because the meat needs to be sold pre-prepared with the flavor and aroma already incorporated, the cooking of the meat It is not possible to reproduce the aroma, flavor, and other key characteristics associated with these products. Consequently, these products The product primarily appeals to a limited consumer base that is already leaning towards vegetarianism / veganism. As a result, it has not been able to appeal to larger consumer segments who are accustomed to eating meat. [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0255] [Figure 1] This figure shows a comparison of aligned GC-MS profiles (mirror-image orientation) of otherwise identical muscle replica samples cooked in the presence of leghemoglobin (LHb, right-hand profile) or ferric trivalent ions (left-hand profile). In this diagram, the vertical axis represents the retention time in the gas chromatography separation step, and the horizontal axis represents the m / z ratio of ions resulting from the fragmentation of the corresponding separated volatile compounds. Selected compounds, shown differentially in the two samples, are displayed on the right side of the figure. [Figure 2] This diagram shows a portion of the root of a pea plant (Pisum sativum), illustrating the red color imparted by leghemoglobin contained within a dissected root nodule. The dissected root nodule appears red. [Figure 3] This diagram shows leghemoglobin isolated from one ounce of pea root. The red color, which is generally due to the meat, is evident in the color photograph. [Figure 4] This figure shows that leghemoglobins from different species are homologs and have similar color properties. In Figure 4, panel A shows SDS-PAGE gels of dissolved root nodules from three leguminous plant species: (1) broad bean, (2) English pea, and (3) soybean. Arrows mark the respective leghemoglobins. Panel B shows the similarity of the UV-VIS spectral profiles of leghemoglobins from two different plant species (broad bean and soybean). [Figure 5] This figure shows a comparison of reduced (heme iron 2+) and oxidized (heme iron 3+) soybean leghemoglobin (Figure 5, panel A) and equine cardiac myoglobin (Figure 5, panel B) to demonstrate the similarity of the UV-VIS absorption profiles of two proteins. The applicant purified soybean leghemoglobin from soybean nodules using the protocol described herein. Purified equine myoglobin was purchased from SigmaAldrich. Soybean leghemoglobin (Figure 5, panel A) and equine myoglobin (Figure 5, panel B) were reduced with 1 mm hydrosulfite sodium. The UV-VIS absorption spectra of heme Fe 3+ (blue line - higher peak in Figures 5 and 6) and heme Fe 2+ (red line) of soybean leghemoglobin (Figure 5, panel A) and equine myoglobin (Figure 5, panel B) are shown. The inset shows a zoomed-in of the UV-VIS spectrum in the region from 450 nm to 700 nm. (Figure 5 Panel C) A 40 mg / ml solution of soybean leghemoglobin in the heme-Fe3+ state, which exhibits a characteristic reddish-brown color (left drop), and a 40 mg / ml solution of soybean leghemoglobin in the heme-Fe2+ state, which exhibits a characteristic red color (right drop), and (right image) an image of a 10 μl drop of the corresponding sample of horse myoglobin. [Figure 6]This figure illustrates a successful example of the reduction of heme iron in leghemoglobin using hydrosulfite sodium and titanium citrate. In Figure 6, the UV-VIS spectrogram of purified soy leghemoglobin with oxidized (+3) heme iron is represented by the blue curves in each panel (blue curves have higher peaks in the main graph). The red curves in each panel represent the UV-VIS spectra of the same leghemoglobin species after reduction to the (+2) state (red line) by adding (Panel A) 1 mM hydrosulfite sodium or (Panel B) 0.24% (wt / v) titanium citrate in 20 mM potassium phosphate pH 7.3, 100 mM sodium chloride buffer. The inset shows a zoomed-in of the UV-VIS spectrum in the 450–700 nm region. For this example, leghemoglobin was purified from soybean root nodules using a 60 / 90% ammonium sulfate fraction and exchanged for 20 mM potassium phosphate pH 7.4 and 100 mM sodium chloride buffer. A stock solution of sodium hydrosulfite was prepared by dissolving 100 mM sodium hydrosulfite in 1 mM sodium hydroxide in water. A stock solution of titanium citrate was prepared from 20% (wt / v) titanium chloride in hydrochloric acid by mixing it with 0.2 M sodium citrate (1:10 v / v). The pH was adjusted to 7.0 using sodium carbonate. [Figure 7]This figure illustrates an example of the purification flow of leghemoglobin from soybean root nodules. This figure shows the SDS-PAGE fractionation of different soybean leghemoglobin purification steps: (Lane 1) Soybean root nodule lysate; (Lane 2) Soybean root nodule lysate purified by 60 / 90% (wt / v) ammonium sulfate fractionation. The protein content of the 90% ammonium sulfate fractionated protein pellet resuspended in 20 mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.4, 100 mM sodium chloride, and 1 mM EDTA buffer is shown. The protein obtained from the 90% ammonium sulfate pellet was further purified by anion exchange chromatography (FFQ GE Healthcare) in 20 mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.4, and 100 mM sodium chloride. Leghemoglobin collected in the flow-through is shown in Lane 3. The anion exchange flow-through was fractionated using size exclusion chromatography (Sephacryl S-100 GE Healthcare), and the resulting leghemoglobin fraction is shown in Lane 4. The leghemoglobin content at different purification steps was determined by determining the leghemoglobin band fractions in the SDS-PAGE gels of each sample using ImageDoc analysis software (BioRad). The purity (partial abundance) of leghemoglobin at each purification step was as follows: lysate: 32.7% (lane 1), 60 / 90% (wt / v) ammonium sulfate fraction: 78% (lane 2), anion exchange chromatography: approximately 83% (lane 3), and size exclusion chromatography: approximately 95% (lane 4). [Figure 8]Figure 8 shows stained SDS-PAGE gel analysis of (A) soybean leghemoglobin expressed and purified using recombinant protein technology and (B) soybean leghemoglobin purified from soybean root nodules. (A) Recombinant soybean leghemoglobin A, which has a His tag and a TEV protease His tag removal site, was expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli) strain BL21 and purified using His tag affinity chromatography (Talon resin, CloneTech). The left lane contains the molecular weight standard, and the right lane contains the purified recombinant soybean leghemoglobin A (arrow). The expected molecular weight of recombinant soybean leghemoglobin A is 17.1 kDa. (B) SDS-PAGE gel of purified soybean leghemoglobin derived from root nodules. The left lane contains the molecular weight standard, and the right lane contains the purified soybean leghemoglobin A (arrow). Mass spectrometry of the purified material determined that all four soybean leghemoglobin isoforms were present and of full length (data not shown). The expected molecular weights (MW) of the soybean leghemoglobin isoforms range from 15.4 to 15.8 kDa. [Figure 9] This figure shows an example of six cubes of commercially available meat-like material (Quorn chicken meat-like material), each with sides of approximately 1 cm. Four of the cubes (all left columns and bottom right columns) were immersed in a solution of approximately 10 mg / ml soybean leghemoglobin dissolved in 20 mM potassium phosphate pH 7.4 and 100 mM NaCl, while the remaining two cubes (top right column) were immersed in the same buffer without leghemoglobin. The red color of the leghemoglobin-injected cubes is evident in the color photograph, contrasting with the pale yellow color of the uninjected cubes. [Figure 10] This figure shows four cubes of Quorn chicken meat analogue injected with leghemoglobin during the cooking process in a 350°C pan. The two bottom cubes have been flipped over to expose the browned, grilled surface. In the two top cubes, the heated portion has turned grayish-brown, while the cooler top surface retains its pale pink color. In some embodiments, the edible product is injected with a heme-containing solution, such as a leghemoglobin solution, until the edible product takes on the color of uncooked meat. [Figure 11] This figure shows the mixing of 43 ml of mung bean protein solution (150 mg / ml in dialysis buffer) with 37 ml of leghemoglobin solution (46.5 mg / ml leghemoglobin and 20 mg / ml of other soybean nodule proteins) dissolved in 20 mM potassium phosphate, 100 mM NaCl, pH 7.3. 20 ml of transglutaminase solution (20% w / w) was added, the solutions were thoroughly mixed, divided into two 50 ml Falcon tubes, and incubated overnight at room temperature. The final protein concentrations were 65 mg / ml mung bean protein, 18 mg / ml leghemoglobin, and 91 mg / ml total protein. [Figure 12] This figure shows a "white" muscle analog prepared by mixing 43 ml of mung bean protein solution (150 mg / ml), 45 ml of 11.7 mg / ml leghemoglobin solution, and 0.8% (wt / v) transglutaminase solution. The final protein concentrations were 63 mg / ml mung bean protein, 5.2 mg / ml leghemoglobin, and 68 mg / ml total protein. [Figure 13] This figure represents a fatty tissue analogue based on mung beans, which was prepared in an Eppendorf tube to form an off-white, smooth, uniformly textured, opaque gel with no visible, identifiable liquid that was not incorporated into the gel. The gel was self-supporting, elastic, and resilient. The gel had a slight, pleasant aroma and a mild, pleasant flavor. The taste was slightly salty. [Figure 14] This figure shows a tissue analogue based on pea meglobulin, which was prepared in an Eppendorf tube in much the same way as the mung bean-based fat analogue, except that a small amount of oil was lost due to compression. [Figure 15]This figure shows connective tissue analog chains prepared using a 1:3 ratio in 70% ethanol and filled into a syringe equipped with a 23-gauge needle (ID 0.337 mm). The solution was gradually extruded from the bottom of a container 5 inches high into an excess volume of 5 M NaCl solution. The ethanol-zein solution, which is less dense than the NaCl solution, floated upward and drew out fibrous chains (stands) of zein that solidified. Once the chains began to form, the NaCl was stirred at a constant rate to assist in chain elongation. The chains bundled together into a rigid, dense mass.

[0256] Methods and compositions for producing edible products are described herein. Foods that are edible can be used for animal consumption. For example, edible products can be food suitable for human consumption. It is possible. Edible products can be approved by the appropriate regulatory authorities. Edible products are Like existing human food, it may be sold in grocery stores, or in restaurants, schools, or hospitals. It may be prepared in hospitals, military facilities, prisons, shelters, and long-term care facilities. Edible items include: It can also be used as food for domesticated animals. For example, dog food can be made according to the present invention. It is possible. The edible items may also be food for wild animals. For example, the edible items are It may be offered to untamed predators.

[0257] The edible product of this invention competes with supplements or can be taken as an alternative to animal-based foods. It can be replaced. For example, edible products could be meat replicas made entirely from plant sources. It is possible. Edible products are made to mimic the appearance or cuts of meat currently sold. It is possible. For example, edible items include ground beef or specific cuts of beef and visually appealing meat. It may be similar to or indistinguishable from the original. Alternatively, the edible item may have a distinctive appearance or appearance. It can be made to look like this. For example, edible products can be made based on the structure of the edible product. It may contain 'n' or lettering. In some cases, the edible product is prepared after It looks like a traditional meat product. For example, it is larger than a traditional beef cut, but sliced After cooking, an edible product is created that looks the same as traditionally cooked meat. It is possible. In some embodiments, the edible item is traditionally two-dimensional rather than three-dimensional. It can resemble the shape of typical meat. For example, edible items can be two-dimensional (for example, from above). It can resemble a cut of meat when it looks like it, but it is longer (or longer) than a traditional cut. It can become thicker. Therefore, in some embodiments, it can become thicker than traditional meat-shaped products. A composition is provided that can be repeatedly cut out in this manner.

[0258] Edible products can be made from entirely plant-based sources. In one case, Edible products can be made from organic sources. Edible products are plant-based supplies. It may be made from a combination of source and animal-based sources. For example, edible products may be This invention can result in a ground beef product supplemented with the plant-based product of the present invention.

[0259] Edible products can be made from locally sourced materials. For example, edible products can be made from locally sourced materials. It can be made from plants grown within a specific radius of the user. This radius is, for example, 1. It can be 10, 100, or 1,000 miles. Therefore, in some embodiments, this Ming transported the meat replicas over 1, 10, 100, or 1,000 miles before they were made. This invention provides a method for producing meat replicas that do not contain the product in question.

[0260] This invention provides consistent properties from edible products when produced from various sources. This provides a method for that purpose. For example, a plant made from local plants in Iowa, USA. The meat-based replicas are made from plant-based materials derived from local plants in Lorraine, France. It has a taste, smell, and texture that is virtually identical to meat replicas. Such consistency is local This enables a method for promoting food grown in a consistent manner based on its characteristics. This consistency is This may result from the concentration or purification of similar components in different locations. These components are By combining them in predetermined ratios, consistency can be ensured. In some embodiments, High-level characteristic consistency is achieved when components originate from the same plant species (e.g., isolated or concentrated components). This is possible by using proteins and fats. In some embodiments, The characteristic consistency is due to components derived from different plant species (e.g., isolated or concentrated tannins). This is possible by using protein and fat. In some embodiments, the same tongue Proteins can be isolated from different plant species. In some embodiments, the present invention , the step of isolating similar plant components from plant sources in different locations, and provided herein The steps include assembling the compositions at both locations and selling the compositions. A method comprising, wherein compositions assembled and sold at different geographical locations are in a consistent physical The present invention provides a method having specific and chemical properties. In some embodiments, isolated components The material originates from different plant populations in different locations. In some embodiments, isolated structures One or more species of the mature product are transported to geographically distant locations.

[0261] Edible products require fewer resources to produce than edible products made from livestock animals. It may be necessary. Therefore, the present invention requires less water or energy to produce than meat. It provides a replica of the essential meat. For example, the edible product is approximately 1 pound per pound of edible product. You may need less than 0, 50, 100, 200, 300, 500, or 1000 gallons of water. In comparison, beef requires more than 2,000 gallons of water per pound of meat. ru.

[0262] Edible products require less land area to produce than meat products with similar protein content. It may be necessary for the production of meat products with similar protein content. For example, edible products may be necessary for the production of meat products with similar protein content. It may require less than 30% of the required land area.

[0263] Edible products have health benefits compared to livestock products that replace them in the diet. For example, this can yield lower cholesterol or lower cholesterol than comparable meat products. It may contain Bell's saturated fat.

[0264] Edible products offer animal welfare benefits compared to livestock products that replace them in the diet. It is possible. For example, this could involve confining animals for their meat, force-feeding, or feeding them too early. It can be produced without the need for weaning, breakdown of the mother-child relationship, or slaughter.

[0265] The edible products have a lower "carbon foot pudding" than the meat products that replace them. It may have "t". For example, edible products may have the warmth that can result from livestock products that replace them. Net greenhouse gas emissions of 1%, 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, or 75% This may result in the emission of sap.

[0266] Permitted foods are livestock products or combinations of livestock products whose consumption is prohibited by religious beliefs. A suitable alternative can be offered. For example, an edible item could be kosher pork chops. obtain.

[0267] Edible products may be transported in component form and assembled or manufactured at different locations. If available, local ingredients can be used in the preparation of edible products. This allows for supplementing components that are not available locally. This is because the energy required for meat Using less transport energy than energy, create edible products, such as replicas of meat. This makes the method possible. For example, local water provides a kit that offers other components of the edible product. They can be used in combination. Using local water reduces transport weight, which Reduce costs and environmental impact.

[0268] Edible products are distributed throughout or in areas where livestock farming is not practical or permitted. They can be partially manufactured or assembled. Edible products can be manufactured or assembled within urban environments. It can be combined. For example, a kit can be provided to the user to determine which foods are edible for the user. This makes production possible. Users can, for example, use local water in Shanghai. This can be done, or plants from a rooftop garden can be used. In another example, edible The product can be manufactured while aboard a spacecraft, space station, or lunar base. Therefore, the present invention is for creating a flesh replica for use in space travel or training. The present invention provides methods and systems for use in Earth-based training for space travel. It is possible to have them. Edible items are available on islands or artificial islands where keeping livestock is difficult or prohibited. It can also be manufactured on an offshore platform.

[0269] In some embodiments, the edible products are designed to replicate the experience of eating meat. The appearance, texture, and taste of the edible product may be similar to or indistinguishable from meat. Therefore, the present invention relates to a method, in a particular embodiment, for animals or humans to distinguish between meat and edible products. This provides a method for determining whether it is possible.

[0270] One way to determine whether an edible product can be compared to meat is to a) define the characteristics of meat, and b) The objective is to determine if edible products have similar characteristics. Characteristics of meat that can be tested. Its mechanical properties include hardness, adhesion, brittleness, chewiness, bonding, viscosity, elasticity, and tackiness. It includes. The characteristics of meat that can be inspected are the size and shape of the particles as well as the shape of the particles. This also includes geometric properties such as shape and orientation. Additional properties include water content and fat content. These properties may include "soft," "solid," or "hard" in descriptions of hardness; The descriptions of adhesive properties include "brittle," "chewy," "fragile," "firm," and "flexible." "Not," "Difficult to chew," "Crunchy," "Powdered," "Paste-like," or "Ga "Mu-like"; for viscosity, use "thin" or "viscous"; for elasticity, use "plasticity" or "Elastic" is used to describe tackiness; "sticky," "adhesive," or "gooey" is used to describe granules. The description of the shape and size of the child includes terms such as "rough," "coarse," or "coarse (cour (se)''; for descriptions of particle shape and orientation, use "fibrous," "porous," or "crystalline"; The description of water content may include terms such as "dry," "moist," "damp," or "watery"; or When describing fat content, terms such as "oily" or "greasy" can be used to explain it. Therefore, in one embodiment, a certain group of people is given a specific description of meat according to the characteristics that describe it. It is possible to obtain a rating for meat, such as ground beef. Such a rating is based on the characteristics of the meat. It can be used as a guideline. Next, the edible product of the present invention is compared with meat, and the edible product is... It is possible to determine how similar the product and the meat are. In one case, next, By altering the characteristics of edible products, we will create edible products that are more similar to meat. Therefore, some implementations will be carried out. In terms of form, edible products are rated as similar to meat according to human evaluation. In terms of presentation, the edible product is indistinguishable from real meat to humans.

[0271] In some embodiments, the subject is identified as meat or an edible item. It is required. In some embodiments, one property of the composition of the present invention is that of an animal, for example, The fact is that humans will identify the composition as meat. In some embodiments, humans The composition of the present invention is identified as having properties equivalent to meat. In some embodiments... In this context, the characteristics of one or more types of meat are equivalent according to human perception. Such characteristics are, It includes characteristics that can be tested. In some embodiments, a human being consumes the edible product of the present invention. It is identified as being closer to meat than existing meat substitutes in this technology.

[0272] The mechanism involves demonstrating through experimentation that the edible product is acceptable to consumers. This is possible. Using a panel, the various edible products described herein can be screened. It is possible to do this. Numerous human panelists will examine multiple edible samples, i.e., natural The meat vs. the edible product composition described herein can be tested. Fat-containing Variables such as quantity are standardized to, for example, 20% fat using lean and fatty meat mix. This can be done. Fat content is measured using the Babcock method (SS Nielson, Introduction) of meat. to the Chemical Analysis of Foods (Jones & Bartlett Publishers, Boston, 1994) This can be determined using ground beef and following the procedure described herein. A mixture of the edible product of the present invention, prepared in this manner, can be formulated.

[0273] In an open consumer panel, panelists were asked to stand in a booth under red or white light. You can serve the samples. Assign a random three-digit number to the samples and take turns in the voting position. This prevents bias. Panelists range from 1 = strongly dislike to 9 = strongly like. Using a pleasure / displeasure scale where 5 is the median value for neither liking nor disliking, You may be asked to evaluate the sample in terms of sex, juiciness, texture, flavor, and overall acceptability. The panelists were asked to rinse their mouths with water between samples and then comment on each sample. They may be given an opportunity.

[0274] The results of this experiment show no significant difference (p<0.05) between traditional meat and the composition of the present invention or Similarity can be demonstrated.

[0275] These results indicate that the composition of the present invention is acceptable as equivalent to a real meat product. It is demonstrated that it can be rejected. Furthermore, these results show that the composition of the present invention is effective for the panelists. This demonstrates that it is preferable to other commercially available meat substitutes. Therefore, some actual In terms of application, the present invention provides an edible product that is significantly similar to traditional meat.

[0276] The edible product of the present invention may have physical characteristics similar to traditional meat. In one embodiment... In this, a 1-inch thick structure made of the edible product of the present invention is made using a fixed diameter steel rod. The force required to penetrate a structure (e.g., putty) is equivalent to that required to drive a steel rod of similar fixed diameter. It is necessary to use it to penetrate a similar meat structure (e.g., ground beef patty) that is 1 inch thick. The force is not significantly different from that of meat. Therefore, the present invention provides an edible food having physical strength characteristics similar to meat. We provide high-quality products.

[0277] In some embodiments, the compositions of the present invention have cooking loss characteristics similar to those of meat. In terms of its form, the present invention provides an edible product having fat and protein content similar to ground beef. It shrinks to the same size as real ground beef during cooking. Similar size loss profiles for various compositions of edible products described in the detailed document. Similarity can be achieved.

Waste is generated from edible products. The components can be arranged to ensure that this does not happen. For example, traditional meat cutting The flesh may contain parts that are not normally eaten, but meat replicas enclose these non-edible parts. By omitting certain substances, the meat can be improved. Such improvements are made in the production or transport of the meat. This ensures that all items are consumed, thereby reducing waste and transportation costs. In other words, meat replicas may include non-edible parts to mimic the experience of meat consumption. The part is bone, cartilage, connective tissue, or other material commonly referred to as tendons or their constituent elements. It may include materials that are incorporated to simulate the elements. In some embodiments, feeding Possible products are non-edible parts of simulated meat products designed to serve a secondary function. It may contain. For example, the simulated bone is designed to dissipate heat during cooking. This allows for faster or more uniform cooking of edible food than meat. In this context, simulated bones serve to maintain a constant temperature for edible food during transport. It can also stand. In other embodiments, the simulated non-edible portion is biodegradable.

In some embodiments, the edible product is the meat replica A method for preparing meat, comprising mainly or entirely composed of components derived from non-animal sources. This method involves the replica releasing volatile or easily movable odorants when heated.

[0344] The odor-causing substances released during meat cooking are reactants, including fats, proteins, and amino acids. It can be involved in peptides, nucleotides, organic acids, sulfur compounds, sugars, and other carbohydrates. It is produced by a reaction. In some embodiments, it is used as a flavoring in combination with meat during cooking. The substances are identified, and the odor molecules combine through the cooking of edible products.

[0346] The following is the evidence that the presence of leghemoglobin favorably contributes to the aroma of meat replicas. A muscle replica containing pea flour, sunflower oil, and glucose is used to reduce reghemoglobin. Globin (LHb) or a mixture of iron (Fe3+), sodium, and EDTA (EFS) In the presence of either of the above, a sealed container containing solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fibers is used. It was then heated at 140°C for 10 minutes. Such fibers were used for analysis by GC-MS. Contains polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) that adsorbs volatile compounds. Multiple replicas Analysis of GC-MS data obtained revealed consistent differences between LHb and EFS samples. The following are non-exclusive examples of compounds found exclusively or more abundantly in LHb samples: Often associated with the aroma of cooked meat are 2-octanone, 2-methylfuran, and many others. It is an unidentified compound. For example, Figure 1 shows leghemoglobin (LHb, profile on the right) Cooked in the presence of (or trivalent iron ions, left profile), otherwise the same. This shows a comparison of the aligned GCMS profiles (mirror orientation) of two muscle replica samples. In this diagram, the vertical axis represents the retention time in the gas chromatography separation step. The horizontal axis represents the m / of ions produced by the fragmentation of the corresponding separated volatile compound. This represents the z ratio. The selected compounds, which are differentially represented by the two samples, are shown on the right side of the figure.

[0347] tone index The color of meat is an important part of the cooking and eating experience. For example, beef fillets, In its raw state, it has a distinctive red color, which gradually changes to brown during cooking. As another example, White meats such as chicken or pork exhibit a characteristic pale pink color when raw, and turn white or during cooking. The color gradually changes to a brownish hue. The amount of color change indicates the progress of the beef's cooking and the cooking process itself. Used to control time and temperature, it produces the desired degree of cooking. In some embodiments... The present invention provides a non-meat-based meat substitute product that provides a visual indicator of the cooking progress. In some embodiments, the visual indicator is a color indicator that changes color during cooking. In one embodiment, the color indicator is the cutting of the meat as it progresses from raw to cooked. The color changes of the body are repeated. In a more specific embodiment, the color indicator is the meat substitute before cooking. The product is colored red to indicate its raw state, and as cooking progresses, the meat substitute changes to brown. In other specific embodiments, the color indicator is such that the meat substitute product is colored pale pink before cooking. The raw state is shown, and the meat substitute product changes to white or brown as the cooking process progresses.

[0348] The primary determinant of the nutritional definition of meat color is the concentration of iron-containing proteins in the meat. In the skeletal muscle components of meat products, the major iron-containing protein is myoglobin. White meats make up less than 0.05%; pork and veal make up 0.1-0.3%. Beef from young cows contains 0.4-1.0%; beef from old cows contains 1.5-2.0%. It is presumed that so, in some embodiments, the edible product is an iron-containing protein.

In some cases, iron-containing protein The protein is isolated and purified from the source. In other cases, iron-containing protein It has not been isolated or purified. In some cases, the source of iron-containing protein is Animal sources or non-animal sources such as plants, fungi, or genetically modified organisms such as bacteria or yeast. It is a substance. In some cases, the iron-containing protein is myoglobin. In some implementations In terms of form, the edible product is a plant-based meat replica supplemented with animal myoglobin. Therefore, for example, a replica of a young cow's beef may have approximately 0.4-1% myoglobin. In some cases, the iron-containing protein is leghemoglobin. In this context, the edible product is a plant-based meat replica supplemented with leghemoglobin. Therefore, for example, a replica of a young cow's beef may have approximately 0.4-1% leghemoglobin. In some cases, the iron-containing protein is cytochrome. In some embodiments, Therefore, the edible product is a plant-based meat replica with added cytochrome. For example, replicas of young beef may contain approximately 0.4–1% cytochrome.

Hemoglobin is similar in color to myoglobin. In some embodiments, the present invention involves obtaining and reusing blood from livestock to produce edible products. This provides a method for supplementing the color tone. For example, blood is obtained from a slaughterhouse and from that blood Using hemoglobin, the color of the edible product is enhanced. In some embodiments, the edible product The product is a plant-based meat replica containing hemoglobin.

In some embodiments, the edible product is blood protein (e.g. For example, hemoglobin, myoglobin, neuroglobin, cytoglobin, leghemoglobin Bin, non-symbiotic hemoglobin, Hell's Gate globin I, bacterial hemoglobin, ciliated myoglobin Contains robin (flavohemoglobin).

[0352] Leghemoglobin, which is similar in structure and physical properties to myoglobin, is found in leguminous plants (legum). It can easily be used as an unused by-product of agricultural products (e.g., soybeans, peas) Available. Leghemoglobin in the roots of these crops in the United States The myoglobin content exceeds that of all lean meat consumed.

[0356] Foods containing isolated and purified leghemoglobin In some embodiments, leghemoglobin is added to meat to enhance its properties. For example, a leghemoglobin-containing solution can be injected into raw or cooked meat. In another example, a leghemoglobin solution is dropped onto meat or the edible product of the present invention. This enhances the appearance. In one embodiment, it is used for advertising food products such as meat or meat substitutes, and photographs. Photography or video recording is enhanced by leghemoglobin.

[0357] Source of leghemoglobin In some embodiments, the present invention provides a method for obtaining leghemoglobin from plants. Provided. Leghemoglobin can be obtained from various plants. Various leguminous plants (le gume) species and their varieties, for example, soybeans, broad beans, lima beans, cowpeas, English beans Shrimp peas, yellow peas, lupine, green beans, chickpeas, peanuts, almonds Farfa, vetch hay, clover, Lespedeza and Quail beans contain nitrogen-fixing root nodules, and in these nodules, leghemoglobin is concentrated in oxygen. They play a major role in controlling the degree of temperature fluctuation (for example, root nodules derived from pea plants, Figure 2). Figure 3 shows 100 ml of leghemoglobin solution isolated from 30 grams of pea root nodules. The liquid is shown. Leghemoglobin from different species is homologous and has similar color properties. (Figure 4). In Figure 4, Panel A shows three leguminous plant species (1) Sora (2) English peas (3) Soybean dissolved root nodules SDS-PAGE gel The arrows indicate each leghemoglobin. Note that it is the most abundant soluble protein in sate. Panel B is 2 UV-VIS spectrum of leghemoglobin derived from different plant species (broad bean and soybean) The similarity of the culvert profiles is shown. The applicants have noted the similarity of the culvert profiles as described elsewhere in this specification. Using this protocol, we extract leg cells from broad bean (green curve) and soybean (red curve) root nodules. Hemoglobin was purified. The UV-VIS spectra of both proteins showed that heme iron was reduced. This indicates that it is an archetypal (+2) state. The two almost completely overlap, and visually they are Note that they are the same red color. (Broad bean and soybean leghemoglobin) This was in 20 mM potassium phosphate pH 7.4 and 100 mM sodium chloride buffer. By incubation with 10 mM sodium hydrosulfite, each The heme iron in this leghemoglobin was reduced to the +2 oxidation state. Subsequently, gel exclusion was performed. Using chromatography, hydrosulfite sodium was extracted from a leghemoglobin solution. The inset shows the UV-VIS spectrum in the 450nm-700nm region. The image shows a zoomed-in view. Some plant species express several leghemoglobin isoforms. (For example, soybeans have four leghemoglobin isoforms). Minor variations in the acid sequence alter the overall charge of the protein at a specific pH. This allows for the precise structural conformation of the iron-containing heme group in leghemoglobin to be altered. It is possible. The difference in the structural conformation of the heme group of different leghemoglobins is heme iron. This can affect the oxidation and reduction rates of different leghemoglobins. Such differences can affect the color of different leghemoglobins. It can contribute to the development of flavor and aroma.

[0358] Leghemoglobin has virtually the same absorbance spectrum as myoglobin derived from animal muscle. It has a similar appearance. Figure 5 shows the reduced form (heme iron 2+) and the oxidized form (heme iron 3+) dizle. Comparison of guhemoglobin (Figure 5, Panel A) and equine cardiac myoglobin (Figure 5, Panel B) This demonstrates the similarity of the UV-VIS absorption profiles of the two proteins. (Applicants) This protocol describes how to obtain soybean reghemoglobin from soybean root nodules. Robin was purified. The purified horse umamioglobin was purchased from SigmaAldrich. Soybean leghemoglobin (Figure 5, Panel A) and horse myoglobin (Figure 5, Panel B) were found. ) was reduced with 1 mm of sodium hydrosulfite. Soybean reghemoglobin (Figure 5 Panel A) and heme Fe3+ (blue line) of horse myoglobin (Figure 5 Panel B) The UV-VIS absorption spectra of heme Fe2+ (red line) are shown. The inset shows the 450n This shows a zoomed-in view of the UV-VIS spectrum in the m~700nm region. (Figure 5 panel) C) 40 mg of soybean leghemoglobin in the heme-Fe3+ state, exhibiting a characteristic reddish-brown color. ml solution (small drop on the left) and soybean reghemog showing characteristic red color in the heme-Fe2+ state. Robin solution 40 mg / ml solution (small drop on the right) and the corresponding Umamioglobino (image on the right) Image of a 10µl droplet of the sample.

[0359] In another embodiment, leghemoglobin expresses high levels of leghemoglobin. It can be procured from non-plant sources, such as genetically modified bacteria or yeast. .

[0360] The oxidation state of iron ions in leghemoglobin is important for its color. +2 Leghemoglobin, which contains heme iron in the oxidized state, appears bright red, but +3 oxidized heme Leghemoglobin containing iron appears reddish-brown. Therefore, it is the source of the red color in meat replicas. In the use of leghemoglobin, heme iron is reduced from the +3 state to the +2 state. It is desirable. Heme iron in leghemoglobin is converted to the oxidized form (+3) by a reducing agent. It can switch from the normal state to the reduced (+2) state. Hydrosulfite sodium Figure 6 illustrates a successful example of the reduction of heme iron in leghemoglobin using titanium dioxide and titanium citrate. In Figure 6, UV light is used to show purified soybean leghemoglobin in which heme iron is in the oxidized (+3) state. - The VIS spectrogram is represented by the blue curve in each panel. The red curve represents 20 mM potassium phosphate pH 7.3 and 100 mM sodium chloride buffer. (Panel A) 1 mM sodium hydrosulfite or (Panel B) 0.2 After reduction to the (+2) state (red line) by adding 4% (wt / v) titanium citrate The inset shows the UV-VIS spectrum of the same leghemoglobin species. A zoomed-in view of the UV-VIS spectrum in the m region is shown. For this example, 60 / 90 % Ammonium sulfate fraction and 20 mM potassium phosphate pH 7.4, 100 mM sodium chloride Leghemoglobin was purified from soybean root nodules using a solution of lium buffer. Dissolve 100 mM sodium hydrosulfite in 1 mM sodium hydroxide solution. By doing so, a stock solution of sodium hydrosulfite was prepared. 20% (w) in hydrochloric acid. From titanium chloride (t / v), mix it with 0.2M sodium citrate (1:10v / v). By doing so, a titanium citrate stock solution was prepared. The pH was adjusted to 7.0 using sodium carbonate. The pH was adjusted.

[0361] Leghemoglobin is found in the root nodules of leguminous plants such as peas or soybeans. It can be purified from (Figure 1 shows pea root nodules, and Figure 2 shows the isolated substance from them). (Shows reduced leghemoglobin). 20 mM potassium phosphate pH 7.4, 100 mM sodium chloride Before dissolving root nodules in thorium, 1 mm EDTA, and 1 mM ascorbic acid, The root nodules, which originated from soybeans, were completely cleaned, and the soil and external root tissue were removed. The root nodules were dissolved by crushing them using an ix blender. For some samples... , 30% wt / v polyvinylpyrrolidone polymer is added to leghemoglobin heme iron It helped remove small plant phenolic molecules that mediate oxidation. Using ammonium sulfate, two The root nodule lysate is fractionated in stages, and first, ammonium sulfate is added to achieve a concentration of 60% wt / v. Added. The pellets were discarded, and the supernatant was converted to 90% wt / v ammonium sulfate. 90% sulf Leghemoglobin was collected as a precipitate pellet in the ammonium sulfate fraction. Monium-precipitated leghemoglobin was treated with 20 mM potassium phosphate, 1 mM EDTA, and 5 Resuspend in 0 mM sodium chloride and perform dialysis or size exclusion chromatography in the same buffer. Ammonium sulfate was removed using a fluoroscopy technique. In one case, this was the final step. In one case, the manufacturing step was used, but in other cases, anion exchange chromatography (FFQ) was used. Using GE Healthcare (and in some cases, followed by size exclusion chromatography) Using Graph (Sephacryl S-100, GE Healthcare) ), and leghemoglobin was further purified. Dye obtained from 90% ammonium sulfate pellet. Zreghemoglobin is converted to different buffers (20 mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.4, 0-1 Contains 00 mM sodium chloride, 20 mM Tris pH 8, 0-100 mM sodium chloride Contains lium, 20 mM sodium borax pH 9.8, 20 mM sodium chloride, 20 mM In an anion exchange column (FF) using M sodium carbonate (pH 9, 20 mM sodium chloride) Fill into Q or DEAE (GE Healthcare) and use flow-through or chloride Purification was performed using either thorium (0-1M salt gradient). Reghemoglobin was obtained from soybean root nodules. An example of the purification flow is shown in Figure 7. This figure shows different soybean leghemoglobin purification steps.
