The invention discloses a production method for improving sauce consistency based on
protein micelles, and belongs to the technical field of
food processing. Aiming at the problems of unnatural texture, unclean
label and the like caused by the use of a chemical
thickening agent in the existing sauce, the preparation method comprises the following steps: shearing vegetable
protein and water at a specific temperature at a high speed to form a hydration solution, adjusting the pH value, and standing for hydration; mixing the
protein hydrated liquid with the non-salt and non-acid base material of the sauce; then carrying out thermal induction micellization treatment at 85-95 DEG C to enable the protein to form a stable three-dimensional
network structure; after the
system is cooled, adding edible salt, table vinegar and other
flavoring agents; and finally, homogenizing, degassing, sterilizing and filling to obtain a finished product. Through an innovative process sequence, the technical problem of application of protein in a complex sauce
system is successfully solved, and the obtained sauce has the characteristics of smooth texture, good adhesiveness and good stability, completely meets the requirements of clean labels, and is particularly suitable for production of
seasoning sauce products such as
barbecue sauce and
curry sauce.
