BACKGROUND

The invention provides a method of introducing and over-expressing cockroach (Pacific Beetle) gene for milk protein in food-grade yeast (in-vitro host expression system) and obtaining powder or crystalline form of the high-calorific value recombinant protein which can be used as food or animal feed supplement. The protein supplement is made up of all essential amino acids, non-lactose sugars, and essential fatty acids. It provides about ~4X energy more than most mammalian milk.

 

APPLICATIONS

  • High-calorie protein supplement in animal feed

  • Fortification blends into food and beverages

  • Serve as treatment, medicinal, curative, therapy, and/or prophylactic means for protein-energy malnourished (PEM) patients, at-risk populations, and/or as parenteral nutrition for imbecile patients

  • Longer boosters for distant cyclers, runners, and athletes.

  • Consumption as a direct supplement

 

ADVANTAGES

  • High expression of the protein

  • Ease of culturing and maintenance

  • Low-cost production

  • Easy to pack and High shelf life

  • Time-release of nutrients
