Abstract

The invention is directed to an apparatus adapted to prepare a cultured food product, such as but not limited to tempeh, from a plant material. The apparatus comprises a housing, a container and at least one heating element. The container holds the plant material, such as a soyfood substrate, and is incubated in the housing whereby the cultured food product, such as a tempeh, is formed. The housing further comprises a controlled airflow, wherein the housing is adapted to allow ambient air to flow into and out of the housing during the culturing process.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the Chinese patent invention application "equipment for cultivating plant materials as food" with the application date of April 9, 2015 and the application number of 201580030637.8. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to an apparatus for preparing cultured food from plant material, such as but not limited to tempeh. Background technique [0003] Tempeh has been a valuable and important food product traditionally prepared by fermenting and culturing whole dehulled soybeans or soybean kernels or soybean flour with cultures of beneficial fungi or microorganisms. Although tempeh is made from soybeans, it has a unique taste and is itself mild, unlike tofu, and also has different nutritional properties and textural qualities. Tempeh's fermentation process and its retention of the whole soybean give it a higher content of protein, dietary fiber and vitamins. It has a firm texture and an earthy flavor that be...
