ABSTRACT:
A process for controlling the particle size distribution of a particulate meat analog formed from a wet, agglomerated textured protein during continuous heat-setting of the protein is disclosed. The improvement in the continuous heat-setting, preferably by continuous frying, of textured protein comprises feeding the wet agglomerate as particles to the heat source, e.g. a fryer, as a continuous layer of constant bulk density and thickness. The agglomerate is placed on a continuous belt within the heating unit via a feed belt. The particle size distribution of the wet analog and thus the heat-set analog is controlled by the ratio of the continuous heat-setting unit belt to the feed belt speeds.
