Abstract
The present disclosure relates, according to some embodiments, to methods and systems for processing a high-concentration protein product from a microcrop (e.g., aquatic species, Lemna ) and compositions thereof. According to some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a method of processing a biomass comprising a microcrop (e.g., Lemna ), where the method may include: blanching a first portion of the biomass in a blanching solution to form a wet protein concentrate; separating the first wet protein concentrate from a separated solution (e.g., using a screw press, using a vibratory screen); and drying the first wet protein concentrate to form at least one of a first protein concentrate flake and a first protein concentrate granule. In some embodiments at least one of the first protein concentrate flake and the first protein concentrate granule may comprise at least 45% protein and a Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) value of at least 0.88. In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to protein products and compositions derived from a microcrop (e.g., derived from Lemna ).
Claims (23)
1 . A protein composition comprising at least one high-concentration protein product and at least one medium,
wherein the at least one high-concentration protein product comprises at least one of a protein concentrate flake, a protein concentrate granule, a protein concentrate flour, or a dry milled protein concentrate,
wherein the at least one high-concentration protein product is extracted from a microcrop comprising at least one of Lemna and Wolffia,
wherein the at least one high-concentration protein product comprises at least 45% protein and a Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) value of at least 0.88.
2 . The protein composition of claim 1 wherein the PDCAAS value is limited by histidine.
3 . The protein composition of claim 1 wherein the protein composition is selected from a shake, a smoothie, a nutrition bar, and an animal feed product.
4 . The protein composition of claim 1 wherein the at least one of a protein concentrate flake, a protein concentrate granule, a protein concentrate flour, or a dry milled protein concentrate further comprises at least one of:
a protein content of at least 50%,
PDCAAS of at least 0.92,
a reduced chlorophyll concentration,
a digestibility of at least 90%,
an ash content of less than 10% DMB,
a dietary fiber content of at least 30%,
an oxalic acid content of less than 1% DMB,
a polyphenol content of less than 3.2 mg/100 g,
a fat content of less than 5%,
a water-binding capacity of at least 7 ml/g, and
an oil-binding capacity of at least 3 ml/g.
5 . The protein composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of a protein concentrate flake, a protein concentrate granule, a protein concentrate flour, and a dry milled protein concentrate further comprises at least one of:
an oxalic acid content of less than 0.25% DMB, and
a polyphenol content of less of less than 1.75 mg/100 g.
6 . The protein composition of claim 1 further comprising at least one additive.
7 . The protein composition of claim 6 wherein the at least one additive is selected from a sweetener, a hydrocolloidal stabilizer, a flavor, a nutritional component, or any combination thereof.
