Method and equipment for producing plant meat

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of food processing, and discloses a method and equipment for producing vegetable meat, the equipment comprises an extruder for vegetable protein wire drawing, and the extrusion end of the extruder is a nano metal oxide spraying porous stainless steel plate with catalytic action. The nano metal oxide material with a catalytic effect is applied to a vegetable meat drawing process, hydrogen bonds and disulfide bonds are damaged through high-speed shearing and extrusion, activation energy of vegetable protein cracking is reduced through catalysis, and vegetable protein molecules are sheared in the vegetable protein drawing process through the synergistic effect of the nano metal oxide material, the hydrogen bonds and the disulfide bonds; the molecular weight of the protein product is close to that of animal protein, so that the taste of the plant meat is close to that of animal meat; meanwhile, the problems that the plant meat has strong peculiar smell and the taste of the cake is poor due to the fact that the tissue structure of plant protein is easily damaged under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions are also avoided.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to a method and apparatus for producing plant meat. Background [0002] Plant meat is a kind of artificial meat, mainly based on soybeans, peas, wheat and other crops extracted from plant protein as raw materials, the use of chemical separation, from the raw materials to extract the required plant protein, and then through heating, extrusion, drawing, shaping and a series of steps, so that it has the texture and taste of animal meat products. [0003] At present, the plant meat production equipment on the market generally eats dry and wet wire drawing production, and the plant meat produced has a strong odor and poor taste; it is because the dry far-drawn and wet far-drawn silk destroy the original plant protein tissue structure through high temperature and high pressure, and the plant protein reaction under such conditions will have a strong odor and bad taste.

[0003] At present, the plant meat production equipment on the market is generally produced by dry drawing and wet drawing, and the produced plant meat has a strong odor and poor taste; it is because the dry drawing and wet drawing destroy the original vegetable protein through high temperature and high pressure. Tissue structure, plant protein will have a strong odor and bad taste when reacting under this condition
