Abstract: A process for the production of instant alternative protein products, including plant based meat and more particularly to plant based products having the texture, appearance, and taste of meat or dairy. The instant meat or food analog material may be based on a Native Edestin Protein Isolate (NEPI). NEPI may be combined with water to form a protein hydrosol, followed by addition of oil, and heating in a microwave oven to set, thereby forming a hydrogel, or meat analog. The protein hydrosol may be mixed in a microwavable cup being comprised, preferably, of a porous material such as paper or plastic, and having dimensions conducive to forming a meat analog from the protein-fat hydrosol when heated in a microwave. Materials required for production of a meat analog at home from the NEPI may be provided as a convenient kit for production of an instant meat analog.

Abstract: A process and product that solves the problems with regard to hemp protein isolation, raw material input preparation, and processing of the raw material input, in order to produce a superior hemp protein meat and dairy analog. The composition and process include a process for hemp grain protein isolation, pasteurization, formation of a liquid solution, gel formation, texturization and meat and dairy analog production. The process of the present disclosure results in a structured protein food product, or meat analog, having superior properties when compared to existing products or similar products manufactured using known technology.
