Abstract
Combinations of three legume protein isolates (soy, pea & mung) with two cereal protein isolates (wheat gluten & rice) were studied for their amino acid profile, texture characteristics and colour, when extruded under high moisture conditions for high moisture meat analogue applications. The results show that blends comprising of legume protein & cereal protein in 70:30 ratio gave optimal results for both nutritional & textural profile. Comparison of textures of the extrudates for the various combinations revealed differences. Amongst the three legume proteins, mung bean based extrudates were harder than soy & pea based extrudates. Amongst the two cereal proteins, wheat gluten addition resulted in higher resilience & cohesiveness making extrudates rubbery, while addition of rice protein isolates reduced resilience & cohesiveness of the extrudates making them more brittle. These results provide insights on blending the various proteins to achieve high amino acid scores (AAS) & sufficient manoeuvrability to design high moisture meat analogue for whole meat applications with textures to suit different meat dishes & cultural preferences.
期刊介绍:
Innovative Food Science and Emerging Technologies (IFSET) aims to provide the highest quality original contributions and few, mainly upon invitation, reviews on and highly innovative developments in food science and emerging food process technologies. The significance of the results either for the science community or for industrial R&D groups must be specified. Papers submitted must be of highest scientific quality and only those advancing current scientific knowledge and understanding or with technical relevance will be considered.
