Abstract: The present application provides a method of producing a meat analogue, for example a meat analogue produced from a vegetable protein. The method comprises forming a fibrous muscle tissue analogue by high-temperature texturisation of a base material comprising a non-animal derived protein. The high-temperature texturisation is configured to cause denaturing of the non-animal derived protein and formation of substantially parallel fibres in the fibrous muscle tissue analogue. The method further includes partially separating at least some of the fibres of the fibrous muscle tissue analogue. Also disclosed is apparatus for producing a meat analogue, a meat analogue, and a method of producing a meat analogue by binding together two or more fibrous muscle tissue analogues.
