Abstract
Compositions-of-matter containing a plurality of edible microstructures (e.g., microparticles) made of a plant protein extract, composites containing such compositions-of-matter and cells adhered to the microstructures, and processes of preparing same, are provided. Also provided are food products containing these composites and methods of preparing same.
Claims20
A composition-of-matter comprising a plurality of edible microparticles at least a portion of said edible microparticles comprises a plant protein.
A method of producing the edible particles, the method comprising particulating a composition comprising an edible plant protein and optionally an edible polymer under conditions which allow formation of edible microparticles which support proliferation of cells cultured thereon.
