Process for production of soybean protein material

摘要

A process for producing a soybean protein material involves heating a soybean protein solution in the presence of an alkaline earth metal and then slowly freezing the solution. The soybean protein material formed by the method has a structure in which the layers are oriented along the non-cell ice crystals. The soybean protein material produced by the method has a very smooth mouthfeel in its raw condition but has a mouthfeel similar to that of meat when heated.
