ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a process for making a vegetable base meat analog, which may be used in a variety of vegetarian food products, such as burger patties and sausages. The process of the present invention involves sequentially blending methyl cellulose into a water/ice mix to form a cream, then blending in a modified gluten, a vegetable protein product having high solubility in water and capable of forming a gel with mild heat treatment, an oil to make an emulsion base, and a modified food starch and flavoring ingredients to form a flavored emulsion base. The flavored emulsion base may be stuffed into casings, and then cooked. The flavored emulsion base, once cooked, is a vegetable base meat analog and has a high resemblance to processed meat products having improved handling properties. The addition of the flavored emulsion base and the vegetable base meat analog in vegetarian food products improves the texture, mouthfeel, and juiciness of the resulting products.
