  • Publication number: 20230380446
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to methods of forming fibrous food products. In some aspects, a method can include mixing a composition with a solvent to form a first solution, the first solution including between about 15 wt % and about 40 wt % of the composition, the composition including a plant protein and a polysaccharide. The method further includes causing ejection of a second solution in a jet, collecting the jet of the second solution in a precipitation bath, such that a collection of fibers forms, drying the collection of fibers, and pulling apart the collection of fibers, and adding a fat and a flavoring to the collection of fibers to form the fibrous food product. In some embodiments, the method can further include heating the second solution to a temperature between about 40° C. and about 90° C. during the mixing and/or causing the ejection.
