First round of PROLIFIC goods are ready to be served!
The pictures show the first attempts to incorporate fungal residues into a grain/protein extrudate matrix.

Figures 1 and 2 show a comparative product without the use of residues. Figures 3 to 7 show the first results. The content of (dried) fungal residues in the extrudate is 10 %. Depending on the extrusion settings, size, shape and bulk density may vary. The colour of the extrudates can be adjusted depending on the type and added quantity of residues (Figs. 8 and 9). Figures 10 to 13 show a co-extrusion process and possible products. The content of fungal residues is also 10%. It's worth mentioning that use of such processes in vegan/vegetarian meat substitutes is conceivable.
