Disclosed is a process for preparing large chunks or loaves of textured protein material. The process in its preferred aspects comprises: forming a plurality of substantially unpuffed, fibrous protein strips by compressing, elongating, and heating an aqueous dough mixture and releasing the compression; fibrilating the strips; soaking the strips in a binder medium based on egg albumen; layering the strips to align the fibers and to substantially eliminate voids; and heat setting the binder, preferably by microwave energy. |
