Abstract
In order to provide a means for preventing a full-fat textured protein from being degraded through oxidation at the time of storage, provided are a full-fat textured protein excellent in storage stability and a method of producing the full-fat textured protein. The full-fat textured protein includes, as a raw material, a soybean having an oil content of from 15 mass % to 30 mass %, has an oil content of from 15 mass % to 30 mass %, and is in a textured form. A suitable full-fat textured protein includes, as a raw material, a soybean having a protein content of from 25 mass % to 60 mass %, has a protein content of from 25 mass % to 60 mass %, and is in a textured form.
Claims6
A full-fat textured protein, which is formed from a soybean raw material being texturized with a single-screw extruder or a twin-screw extruder, and is in a textured form,
- wherein the soybean raw material, prior to being texturized with the single-screw extruder or the twin-screw extruder, has a water content of 6 mass % or more and 7 mass % or less,
- wherein the soybean raw material, prior to being texturized with the single-screw extruder or the twin-screw extruder, has an oil content of from 15 mass % to 30 mass % and a protein content of from 25 mass % to 60 mass %,
- wherein the soybean raw material, prior to being texturized with the single-screw extruder or the twin-screw extruder, is a ground soybean in a powder form obtained by grinding a soybean, 90% or more of particles of the soybean raw material each have a particle diameter within a range of from 100 mesh pass to 800 mesh pass, and the soybean raw material has a nitrogen solubility index (NSI) of from 30 to 80,
- wherein the soybean raw material, prior to being texturized with the single-screw extruder or the twin-screw extruder, does not show oil exudation during pressurization treatment at a pressure of 0.8 MPa with a squeezing machine,
- wherein the soybean raw material, prior to being texturized with the single-screw extruder or the twin-screw extruder, has a ratio of the soybean of 100 mass %, and
- wherein the full-fat textured protein has an oil content of from 15 mass % to 30 mass % and a protein content of from 25 mass % to 60 mass %.
