Abstract
Disclosed is a method for the dissociation of cells. Cells are processed under varying conditions of pH, temperature, and shear to thereby produce different cell products. In one form, the cells are jet cooked at a lower temperature and/or pressure to provide products that are relatively delicate. The remaining cell components may then be subsequently jet cooked under higher temperature and/or shear conditions to provide products that are relatively more robust. Generally, the cells become dissociated, whereby at least one separate cell wall component is substantially separate from the dissociated cell walls.
Claims20
A method for extraction of cell components from a plurality of cells comprising:
- subjecting the plurality of cells to heat, pH, and shear in a first step under conditions to separate one or more cellular components from the cells, the temperature being less than about 170° F.
A method for extraction of cell components from a plurality of different types of cells comprising:
- providing a combination of a first type of cells and a second type of cells to form a combination of the plurality of different types of cells;
- and
- subjecting the combination of the plurality of different types of cells to heat, pH, and shear in a first step under conditions to separate one or more cellular components from the cells.
A method of providing nutrition to an animal comprising the steps of:
- providing a nutritional composition to an animal, the nutritional composition having been prepared by a process of subjecting a plurality of cells to heat, pH, and shear in a first step under conditions to separate one or more cellular components from the cells, the temperature being less than about 170° F.
