<p>A textured protein product having a protein content of up to 80% is produced by mixing soy meal (grits, flakes or flour) with water containing a protein insolubilizing agent to prepare a homogeneous mass; forming from said mass discrete pieces of a desired configuration under temperature and pressure conditions which retain the proteins in the undenatured state and retain the protein in carbohydrate molecules thereof substantially in the original matrix relationship of the starting material; and cooking the pieces in water in order (1) to denature the proteins in situ whereby contiguous protein molecules interlock to form a three dimensional network structure throughout each of the pieces, and (2) to leach out soluble carbohydrates from within the protein structure.</p> |
