The invention provides novel oleaginous yeast biomass, yeast oil, food compositions comprising oleaginous yeast biomass, whole oleaginous yeast cells, and/or yeast oil in combination with one or more edible ingredients, and methods of making such compositions by combining oleaginous yeast biomass or yeast oil with other edible ingredients.
Claims16
A food composition comprising at least 0.1% w/w oleaginous yeast biomass and one or more other ingredient, wherein the oleaginous yeast biomass comprises at least about 20% oil by dry weight.
A method of making a food composition comprising combining oleaginous yeast biomass comprising at least about 20% by weight oleaginous yeast oil with at least one other ingredient.
A method of making a food composition, the method comprising the steps of:
- a. determining the amount of non-oleaginous yeast oil, non-oleaginous yeast fat or egg in a conventional food product;
- and
- b. replacing all or a portion of the non-oleaginous yeast oil, non-oleaginous yeast fat or egg or supplementing the non-oleaginous yeast oil, non-oleaginous yeast fat or egg with a specified amount of oleaginous yeast biomass.
