Embodiment Construction

[0037] Detailed embodiments of products, devices and methods are disclosed herein. It is to be understood, however, that the disclosed embodiments of the present invention are merely exemplary of apparatus and methods, which may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific functional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a basis for the claims to teach one skilled in the art to variously employ the representative example of the present disclosure.

[0038] As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. For example, reference to "a composition" or "a method" includes reference to a plurality of such compositions or methods. The term "and / or" employed in the context of "X and / or Y" should be interpreted as "X" or "Y" or "X and Y". Similarly, "at least one of X or Y" should be construed as "X" or "Y" or "both X and Y".

Abstract

A meat analogue may include a macrostructure of connected sheared fibers oriented parallel to one another and gaps positioned between the sheared fibers. The macrostructure may include meat and may include a vegetable protein. An extrusion system may include an extruder and a die. The extrusion system may produce a meat analogue. A meat analogue may include an animal protein. The extruder may be connectable to the die. The extrusion system may be configured to direct a material including an animal protein from the extruder to the die and through a fluid path extending through the die. The die may be configured to inject a fat or a fat analogue into the material such that the fat or the fat analogue is embedded but visually distinct from the material including the animal protein when the fat or the fat analogue and the material exit the die.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 62 / 831831, filed April 10, 2019, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates generally to meat analogs containing animal protein, methods of making such analogs, meat analog extrusion devices, and methods of using such devices. More specifically, the present disclosure further relates to a meat analog product having a fibrous macrostructure and voids in the macrostructure, wherein fat is injected into the voids. Background technique [0004] Existing methods of making food products with the appearance and texture of meat ("meat imitation") primarily use protein isolates in the extrusion process. However, the manner in which these proteins achieve fibrous or lamellar structures is unclear, making it difficult to formulate or develop new products with specif...
