METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCING MEAT ANALOGUE Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC A23K10/20 A23K10/00 A23K10/30 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: method of producing meat analogue includes steps of: a) feeding a meat suspension containing protein into a first heating unit and heating the meat suspension to a temperature above the protein denaturation temperature in the meat suspension, but below the protein melting point to obtain a first heat-treated product, wherein for the first heating unit the temperature of the steam used is from 130 °C to 145 °C, b) moving the first heat-treated product into a second heating unit and heating the first heat-treated product to a temperature above the melting point of the protein to produce a second heat-treated product, wherein for the second heating unit used steam temperature is from 160 °C to 180 °C, c) cooling the second heat-treated product by passing through the cooling unit such that the second heat-treated product has a temperature below the boiling point of the water at ambient pressure at the outlet of the cooling unit, and d) separating the cooled second heat-treated product into pieces, wherein ratio of volumes of first heating unit and second heating unit is 1.5–1:1 or 1.2–1:1, wherein the ratio of the time of stay of the meat suspension in the first heating unit to the time of staying of the first heat treated product in the second heating unit ranges from 1:1 to 14:2 or from 9:8 to 6:2. Meat analogue with layered fibrous structure. Food product for humans containing meat analogue. A fodder product for domestic animals containing a meat analogue. Device for production of meat analogue.

EFFECT: inventions make it possible to provide stable methods and devices for their implementation when producing meat analogues with improved homogeneity and taste attractiveness.
