COMPOSITION FOR DYEING FLESH MATERIAL, MATERIAL BEING MEAT ANALOG, FOOD PRODUCT AND METHOD FOR OBTAINING DYED PROTEIN-BEARING MATERIAL Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: food industry. SUBSTANCE: composition for dyeing flesh material includes thermally instable pigment being either betanin and/or beet powder from which betanin was obtained; brown color- inducing agent as reducing sugar chosen out of the group of reducing sugars and including dextrose, or reducing sugar in combination with, at least, one hydrolyzed soybean protein; thermally stable pigment being yellowish-orange food dyestuff, predominantly annatto. Material being meat analog includes vegetable or animal protein material that could be applied as meat analog, and dyeing agent that contains thermally instable pigment, brown color-inducing agent, thermally stable pigment. Food product contains the mixture of meat indicated for roasting, vegetable or animal protein material that could be applied as meat analog, and dyeing agent. One should prepare aqueous solution containing dyeing agent followed by its mixing with protein-bearing material at inconsiderable reduction. The present innovation enables to develop composition efficient for dyeing food product, material being meat analog the color of which is similar to meat's color and indicated for roasting both in raw and ready-to-use condition. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 37 cl,3 ex, 1 tbl _
