Detailed Description A meat substitute composition according to certain embodiments of the present invention comprises constituents which provide one or more of the following main properties of a food product made from the meat substitute; structure, tactility, appearance, and flavour. During manufacture, methyl cellulose is mixed with water to provide a methyl cellulose solution. Aptly, the solution is provided by mixing around 1 % by weight of methyl cellulose with around 15% by weight of hot water heated to at least around 90 degrees to thereby disperse the methyl cellulose therein. Around 15% by weight of chilled water is added to provide a relatively thick and transparent solution. The methyl cellulose acts as a thickener/binder and is a thermo-gelling hydrocolloid in that it gels on heating to maintain the integrity of the food product during cooking, particularly frying when the product is being agitated, and prevent the same crumbling or collapsing.
The composition further comprises a soya protein emulsion which is provided by mixing a soya protein isolate with rapeseed oil. Water is then added to provide a relatively thick and homogenous emulsion. An emulsifier such as soya lecithin may be used to assist with the formation and stability of the emulsion. Aptly, the emulsion comprises around 1 % by weight of isolated soya protein, such as Supro™ 500, and around 5.5% by weight of rapeseed oil, and around 5% by weight of water. The soya protein emulsion helps to keep the fat within the product to deliver a succulent mouthfeel during consumption. The soya protein isolate is a protein source and provides firmness to the product. The rapeseed oil provides a fatty mouthfeel during consumption and aids the cooking process, particularly when frying.
The composition further comprises an inulin gel which is provided by shearing inulin into water to form a smooth white gel. Aptly, the gel comprises around 1.25% by weight of inulin, such as Orafti™ HP, and around 3.75% by weight of water. The inulin gel provides a fatty texture to the product and helps to increase succulence without the need for higher fat levels in the product.
The composition further comprises a blend of texturised soya protein, such as Response™ 4410, and texturised pea protein, such as Texta Pois™. Aptly, the texturised protein blend comprises around 17.7% by weight of soya protein and around 3.3% of pea protein. The texturised soya protein provides a firmer texture with more‘bite’ and the texturised pea protein provides succulence and moistness. They are blended to optimise the characteristics of both texturised proteins. Wheat protein may alternatively be provided to deliver a firm bite during consumption however wheat protein is not suitable for use in a gluten free product.
The composition further comprises a blend of coconut, shea and rapeseed oil. Aptly, the coconut oil and shea oil make up around 4.5% by weight of the composition.
The coconut and shea oil provide visible flecks of fat and fatty mouthfeel during consumption and also provide a‘sizzle’ during cooking to closely resemble the visual and audible experience when cooking and eating a meat equivalent product.
Rapeseed oil is added to achieve a total fat content of around 10% whilst keeping the total saturated fat equal to or below that of meat. Rapeseed was selected because of low saturates and high omega-3 content, but other oils may be suitable such as sunflower oil, corn oil, olive oil, soya oil or the like.
The composition further comprises additional sources of protein. Aptly, the composition comprises a soya protein, such as Supro™ 500, a rice protein, such as Hi Pro Rice™ 80, and/or a pea protein, such as Texta Pois™. Soya and pea protein are relatively low in the sulphur-containing amino acids (cysteine and methionine) whilst being relatively high in lysine. Rice protein is relatively high in cysteine and methionine and low in lysine. Blending helps to deliver a more complete protein (all the indispensable amino acids at the required levels). Oat and wheat protein are also relatively high in cysteine and methionine. However, the use of wheat would not be desirable for a gluten-free product. Aptly, the composition comprises around 5.3% by weight of the soya protein and around 0.5% by weight of the rice protein.
The composition further comprises around 0.5% by weight of carrot fibre which binds water and enhances succulence of the product. Alternatively or additionally, the composition may comprise chicory root fibre as a water binder and succulence enhancer.
The composition further comprises colouring. Aptly, the composition comprises a red colouring, such as burger shade red DEV013447A which is a plant-based colouring. Aptly, the composition further comprises a brown colouring, such as Exberry shade brown 49420001. Aptly, the composition comprises around 0.6%by weight of red colouring and around 0.8% by weight of brown colouring. Aptly, the red colouring is configured to break down during the cooking process to reveal more of the brown colouring to at least closely resemble the colour of a cooked meat product. Beetroot, radish and/or tomato extract may be used to provide a red colour to the raw product which breakdown on heating. Aptly, carrot and caramelised carrot may be used to provide a brown colour that is visible once the red colour/s has broken down.
