Abstract
The present invention provides a protein material and food ingredient from a sustainable and stable source. The sustainable and stable source of the food or food ingredient is biomass, for example an algal or microbial biomass. The invention discloses that the biomass can be subjected to a series of steps to derive the protein material and food or food ingredient, which has high nutritional content without the unacceptable organoleptic properties that typically accompany proteins and food ingredients from these sources.
