ABSTRACT:
A method of producing an expanded product which resembles meat, directly from soybean meal itself, including the steps of utilizing soybean meal that has substantially all the fat removed to an amount of about 5% or less, and preferably 2% or less, moistening the soybean meal such as mixing the soybean meal with water to obtain a moisture content of about 20%-40% by weight, controlling the pH within the range of 5 to 12, preferably 6 to 9, preferably adding an edible pH altering electrolyte while maintaining the controlled pH, and then simultaneously, mechanically working, heating above 212.degree. F., and pressurizing the moistened soybean meal in an extruder chamber sufficiently to cause continuous conversion of the meal to a flowable substance, and forcing the substance through and out of restricted orifice means to expand it into a lattice network structure having resilience, body strength, and appearance approaching that of meat.
