Abstract
The present disclosure provides for genetically modified organisms that provide numerous health benefits but also have an improved flavor profile and a more palatable aroma for the consumer of the organism.
Claims10
A method of producing a better tasting organism comprising editing a genome of the organism to target production of at least one molecule selected from the group consisting of:
- geosmin, 2-methylisoborneol, 2-pentylfuran, putrescine, cadaverine, spermine, spermidine, thermospermine, polyamines having a molecular weight below 350 Daltons, Beta-cyclocitral, 1-octen-3-ol, sulfides, thiomethyl esters, 2,4-decadienal, 1,3-Octadiene, Octatrienes, 4-Methylthio-1,2-dithiolane, 5-Methylthio-1,2,3-trithiane, Dimethyldisulfide, Dimethyltrisulfide, Methyl ethanethiolate, Methyl propanethiolate, Methyl 2-methyipropanethiolate, Methyl 3-methylbutanethiolate, Pentanal, Heptanal, Dimethyltetrasulfide, 1,2,4-Trithiolane, Oct-I-en-3-O-1, Octan-I-ol, Oct-2-en-1-ol, 1-octen-3-one, Octan-3-one, Benzene, Naphthalene, Hexanal, Pentan-3-one, Styrene, Octanal, Decanal, Nonanal, Undecanal, histamine, Thioesters, Uric acids, Uronic acids, Purines, Pinene, Limonene, Borneol, Fenchol, Indole, Skatole, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and free fatty acids,
- wherein the editing of the genome of the organism occurs via a CRISPR system, or TALENs or zinc fingers,
- wherein the organism is algae,
- wherein the editing of the genome of the organism removes unwanted traits from the organism,
- wherein the unwanted traits comprise at least one of aroma and taste,
- wherein a targeted gene related to the production of the molecule is knocked-out, made non-functional, or is from the genome of the organism, or in the alternative,
- wherein a targeted gene related to the production of the molecule is upregulated or downregulated as a result of the editing.
