Foodstuffs containing mucorales fungi

摘要

The preparation of an edible substance for use in a foodstuff is described which comprises fungal cells of the order Mucorales. The cells are grown in a fermentor vessel in an aqueous liquid which is mixed during fermentation, and fermentation allowed to finish. The fungal cells are kept in the vessel and allowed to ripen, the cells own RNAses reducing the intracellular content. Fungi of this order inherently have a low RNA content and therefore no heating step, to reduce their RNA content, is necessary. The fungal cells are removed and processed into the edible substance. This substance is then processed into a foodstuff. This avoidance of heat has also resulted in better tasting foodstuffs.
