Abstract

METHOD OF PRODUCING TEXTURED FOOD
Abstract of the Disclosure:
A meat-like textured protein food is produced by processing a soy-bean flour and/or okara (by-product obtained in the making of soy-bean curd or soy milk) consisting essentially of 8 to 38 wt% protein and not greater than 7 wt% fat using a twin-screw extruder having an orifice and provided with a cooling die. The protein, fat and water contents of the material are respectively adjusted such as to fall within specific ranges, and the material is extruded by the twin-screw extruder with the barrel temperature set at, e.g., between 175°C and 205°C, thereby obtaining a food having a meat like texture.

Description

METHOD OF PRODUCING TEXTURED F~OD

The present invention relates to a method of produc-ing a textured food. More particularly, the present inven-tion pertains to a method o~ producing a processed food having a meat-like texture from soy-beans.

In conventional methods of producing meat-like tex-tured foods from soy-beans, extruders have heretofore been employed to obtain ground, meat like, granular or fibrous fragmentary food materials which give the sensation of eating real meat. In another conventional method, soy-bean protein is dissolved in an alkaline solution and is then fiber-spun by an ex~ruder into a product with fibrous tex-ture similar to muscular fibers. HoweverJ the product obtained by this process is not satisfactory and must be further processed to obtain the consistency necessary to give the sensation of eating real meat. The products obtained by these conventional methods are able to give the sensation of eating real meat when they are granular or fragmentary, but fail in giving that sensation when they are in the shape of a relatively large lump. This is because the extruders employed are of the single-screw type and the water content of the materials must be relatively low. Researches into the application of twin-screw ex-truders have recently advanced, and this type of extruder has been introduced into the food industry to process raw ~9~
o~ ~

materials having relatively high water contents. Certain methods have already been proposed for texturing proteins such as defatted soy-bean flours having relatively high water contents by utilizing twin-screw e~truders. With these proposed methods, the degree to which the proteins are textured is so small that the texture o~ the products is far from the desired meat-like consistency~

In view oE the above-described circumstances, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a method o~ producing a heterogeneously textured meat-like processed food from soy-beans, particularly a soy-bean flour and/or okara (by-product from the making of soy-bean curd or soy milk~, using a twin-screw extruder.
The present inventors made various studies and have successfully found that, when an extruder having an orifice and provided with a cooling die is used, a meat-like tex~
tured food can be obtained when the protein and fat contents of a soy bean material are specified such that they respec-tively fall within predetermined ranges, thus accomplishing the present invention.
The present invention, therefore, provides a method Eor producin~ a textured food characterized in that a soy-bean flour and/or ~ having 8 to 38 wt%, preferably 16 to 30 wt% protein and not greater than 7 wt%, preferably not greater than ~ wt~ fat is processed by employing a twin-screw extruder having an orifice and provided with a cooling die.

The present invention will be described hereinunder in detail.
The present inventors first carried out a texturing test by employing a soy~bean flour (12.5% water, 35.3~
protein, and 19.0% ~at) and a twin-screw extruder having an orifice and a cooling die, at a barrel temperature of 170C, and found that it was difficult to obtain the required texture. Since the fat content in the soy-bean flour was seen to be too high, the present inventors continued the examination employing defatted raw materials. More speci-fically, a soy-bean flour and okara (80.3% water, 6.5%
protein, and 4.0% fat) were dried and defatted to prepare a defatted dry okara (11.1% water, 36.1~ protein, and 1.8%
fat) and a defatted soy-bean flour (12.9% water, 46.3%
protein, and 2.1% fat). Various amounts of water were added to these raw materials and mixed together to produce five kinds of raw-material sample respectively having final water contents falling within a range from ~5% to 70~, as shown in Table 1. Then, a texturing test was carried out on these samples by employing the same machine as that in the case of the first soy-bean flour at various barrel temperatures, i.e., frcm 150 to 210C.
As a result, the defatted soy-bean flour containing 46.3% protein was transformed into a lump having no linear fiber or fibrous property in any of the aforementiopned conditions.

From the results shown in Table 1, the present inven-tors have found that a heterogeneous meat-like extruded product can be obtained having a water content o~ 55~ when the barrel temperature is 180C and a water content of 50 to 60~ in the case of barrel temperatures of 190C and 200C.
Next, the conditions of a barrel temperature of 180C
and a water content of 55~ which showed excellent results in the aforementioned test were further examined. More specifically, various amounts of soy oil were added to, and uniformly mixed with, the defatted okara as shown in Table 2 to prepare raw-material samples, and a texturing test was carried out on these samples in a manner similar to the above. As a result, it has been found that heterogeneous meat-like properties can be obtained when the Eat content is not greater than 6%, preferably not greater than 4~.
Table 2 Fat content (%) Fiber condition of extruded product 0.5 heterogeneous meat-like lump 1.0 ditto 2.0 ditto 4.0 ditto 6.0 ditto 7.0 low directional property 8.0 crumbly lump without directional property Next, a vegetable Eibrous material was mixed with dried Q~E~ containing 55~ water and 1.2% fat at various rates to prepare raw-material samples differing in protein content as shown in Table 3, and these samples were subjected to a test similar to the above at a barrel temper-ature of 190C. Table 3 shows the results of the test.
Table 3 ~rotein content (%~ Fiber condition o~ ext,ruded produc~
7 no fibrous aspect heterogeneous meat-like lump 16 ditto 21 d.itto 24 ditto ditto 34 ditto 38 slightly linear fibers 41 linear fibers From the results shown in Tahle 3, it has been found that extruded products can possess the characteristic prop-erty of exhibiting a meat-like texture when the protein content is between 10% and 34%, preferably 16% and 30~.
Finally, a test was carried out on the protein aspect. ~ vegetable fibrous material was added to a defatted soy-bean powder such as to obtain a specified protein content o~ 25%, and this powder was subjected to a heat treatment to prepare raw-material samples differing in NSI (nitrogen solubility index), the water content of these samples being adjusted to 60%. The result of this test showed that when the NSI was no greater than 64, the desired physical properties were obtained.
As has been described above, the present invention provides a method wherein a soy-bean material having a specified protein content of 8 to 38 wt~, pre~erably 16 to 30 wt~, and a specified fat content of 7 wt~ or less, preferably 4 wt% or less, is processed by a twin-screw extruder having an orifice and a cooling die at a barrel temperature of 175 to 205C, preferahly 180 to 200C, whereby it is possible to obtain an adequately textured meat-like processed food. Thus, it is possible, accord-ing to the method of the present invention, to obtain a processed ~ood containing textured vegetable protein which has characteristic toughness and flavor in a single step using a twin-screw extruder by specifying the protein and fat contents of the material.
The following Examples are provided for further illustration of the present invention.
Example 1 An extrusion experiment was carried out by employing a twin-screw extruder having an oriEice and provided with a cooling die. As the raw material, defatted and dried okara (10.9% water, ~8.1~ protein, and 2.2% fat) was employed and supplied to the extruder from a feeder. As to the water content, water was supplied by a peristaltic pump .so that the water content eventually reached 55~. The barrel tem-perature was set at 1~0C, and the screw speed at 60 rpm.
The temperature oE water for cooling the die was 2 to 6C.
The extruded product obtained under this set of conditions had heterogeneous properties which were extremely similar to those of real meat.
Example 2 An extrusion experiment was carried out by employing completely the same material and apparatus as those employed in Example 1 except for the water content, which was set at 60% in this Example. The barrel temperature was set at 200C, and the screw speed at 120 rpm. The product thus obtained had physical properties similar to those of real meat.
