The invention provides novel food compositions having a realistic meat-like appearance and texture. The compositions comprise from about 50 to about 98% functional proteins, from about 0.05 to about 2% of one or more cross-linking agents, and from about 2 to about 50% of one or more humectant plasticizers. The compositions are produced by heating a preconditioned mixture of the food components under pressure and then expanding the heated composition to form the food composition.本発明は、本物の肉のような外観とテクスチャーを有する新規な食品組成物を提供する。該組成物は、機能タンパク質を約50~約98%、1つ又は複数の架橋剤を約0.05~約2%、及び1つ又は複数の保湿可塑剤を約2~約50%含む。該組成物は、食品成分の前処理混合物を圧力下で加熱した後、加熱した組成物を膨張させて食品組成物を形成することによって得られる。【選択図】なし
