PRODUCTION OF PROTEIN FIBRES

摘要

PRODUCTION OF PROTEIN FIBRES Elastic and rubbery protein fibres are formed by injection of a protein micellar mass through a screen or die into hot water or other fluid medium having a pH of about 5.5 to about 7.5 and a temperature above about 90.degree.C. The protein fibres have characteristics rendering them useful in various food analogs as a meat or seafood substitute. No extremes of acid or alkali are used in the formation of these fibres.
