Abstract: The invention is embodied in a low cost process for creating organoleptic meat analogs from unmodified potato starch and/or similar amylose/amylopectin containing tubers, roots and grains. The method involves thermo-irreversible gelatinization of starch, freeze-thawing, and incorporating extreme syneresis, to create starch gel nodules. Combining gel nodules with wheat gluten flour during the dough mixing formation of mass quantities of flavor absorbing, thin stranded, juicy, meat-like protein fibers. The product resulting from the method incorporates high quality plant protein, into a low carbohydrate, organoleptic juicy lean-meat analog.

Abstract: A system for hanging implements on a wall which employs a hanging component formed of thin steel wire having two wire legs integrally joined to and spaced apart at a limiter portion. In a shelf supporting embodiment, bores or paired channels are provided within a shelf standard at a downwardly depending acute angle. The standard then is used with an elemental drill to form corresponding paired channels through a drywall surface. The wire bifurcate hanging components then are inserted through these channels at the noted acute angle to support a standard against a wall. The acute angle evokes an inwardly directed vector component providing a very stable and relatively high load bearing capacity. Removal of the shelf system from the wall is simply accomplished by lifting upwardly to reveal only small paired channel openings which are easily covered or resurfaced. A continuous strap based self supporting arrangement simplifies the mounting to and supporting of shelves from spaced apart standards.
