ABSTRACT:
An aqueous suspension of a proteinaceous mass of fungal mycelial fibers is foamed with a gas such as air under shear conditions adequate to break the gas into bubbles small enough to be retained by the suspension but not so vigorous as to destroy the fungal mycelial fibers. The resulting slurry is filtered to remove most of the water while retaining the air. The resulting filter cake retains its foamed structure and can then be further processed if desired and air dried to produce a texturized meat-like product. In a preferred aspect of the invention the filter cake is sliced into strips, recompacted and dried to produce a product closely resembling meat in physical properties.
