This invention discloses a
plant-based meat block and its preparation method, belonging to the field of
food processing. The
plant-based meat block, by weight, is composed of 35-45 parts water, 25-35 parts textured
protein, 8-13 parts
egg white powder, 5-11 parts
vegetable oil, 5-8 parts
sugar, 4-7.5 parts TG
enzyme, 1.5-2 parts gel-type
soy protein isolate obtained from high-oleic soybeans, and seasonings. The preparation method includes steps such as soaking textured
protein, frying at 165-175℃ for 6-8 min, braising at 55-65℃ for 30-40 min, mixing,
settling at 3-5℃,
steaming at 120℃ for 50 min, and sterilization. This invention, through a reasonable ratio of
egg white powder and
soy protein isolate and the introduction of TG
enzyme for cross-linking, reduces the amount of exogenous additives. The resulting product has a firm structure, is not easily broken when
cut, has a high similarity in taste to meat, and the
processing technology is simple, facilitating industrial production.
