Abstract
The present invention provides edible porous products based on non-animal proteins, which may be used as a protein-based food per se, as well as a scaffold for cell cultures, particularly for the production of cultured food products.
Claims33
An edible product comprising a protein combination and water and having a porous structure, wherein the protein combination comprises at least 40% (w/w) Triticeae gluten out of the total amount of said protein combination and at least one additional type of non-Triticeae protein, and wherein the porous product is non-extruded.

15-18. (canceled)
A food product comprising an edible porous product comprising a combination of proteins and water, wherein the combination of protein comprises at least 40% Triticeae gluten out of the total weight of said combination and at least one additional type of non-Triticeae protein;
- and at least one type of non-human-animal cells.
23-27. (canceled)
30-32. (canceled)
A method for producing an edible porous product comprising the steps of:
- a) blending a combination of components comprising a proteins combination and water at a ratio of from about 1:1 to about 1:3 protein combination to water, wherein the protein combination comprises at least 40% w/w Triticeae gluten out of the total amount of the protein combination and at least one additional type of non-Triticeae protein to form a malleable material;
- and
- b) exposing the malleable material to thermal treatment at a temperature of from about to about 250° C. at a pressure up to an atmospheric pressure;
- thereby producing the edible porous product, wherein the edible product is characterized by a porous structure.
