Abstract: A method of manufacturing a simulated corned beef product which utilizes fibrillated protein fibers obtained by heating a slurry of proteinaceous material under a high pressure to produce elongated tender protein filaments or fibers and extruding the slurry through an orifice to remove the tender protein filaments or fibers from the protein slurry. The fibrillated protein fibers are mixed with an emulsion containing a seasoning agent, a flavoring agent, a spice and a coloring agent. The emulsion is prepared from fat and oil and a proteinaceous material. To the mixture of the fibrillated protein fibers and the emulsion, loosened texture fibers of a livestock meat may be added.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing a meat-like block or sheet of protein fibers in which a coagulable protein slurry, having an optimum pH approximately equivalent to the specific isoelectric point thereof, is forced to flow in a heated condition and is subsequently sprayed in an atomized condition onto a travelling, water drainable receiver within a short period of time before a specific coagulation thereof is completed. By processing as mentioned above, meat-like blocks of protein fibers can be manufactured in one operation without acidifying the protein slurry or adding a binding agent.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an edible soy protein-containing, dried meat product containing a fibrous soy protein product of fibril structure having a random orientation, and a natural meat. A mixture of the fibrous soy protein product and the natural meat is heat-treated and dried. The amount of the fibrous soy protein product must be not less than 10% by weight relative to the total weight of the natural meat employed.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an edible soy protein containing, simulated meat product containing a fibrous soy protein product of fibril structure having a random orientation, and non-textured protein material. A mixture of 90 to 50 % by weight of non-textured protein material i.e. a proteinaceous paste and 10 to 50 % by weight of the fibrous soy protein product is shaped and heat-treated, by which method, a small amount of the latter forms a supporting structure in the large amount of the former, thus producing simulated meat products having qualities which are comparable to high grade natural meats.
