Abstract
This invention relates to scalable methods for the production of artificial meat products that mimic the appearance, texture, and mouthfeel (ATM) of natural meat cuts. These methods involve providing multiple building blocks of edible protein, such as grooved sheets, fibrils or fibres of edible protein, and combining the building blocks with an edible binder to produce the artificial meat product. Methods are provided along with apparatus for performing the methods and artificial meat products produced by the methods.
Claims14
A method of producing an artificial meat product comprising:
- a) providing multiple building blocks of edible protein, and
- b) combining the multiple building blocks with an edible binder, wherein the multiple building blocks are grooved sheets.
A method of producing an artificial meat product comprising:
- a) providing multiple building blocks of edible protein, wherein each of the multiple building blocks is a two-dimensional sheet,
- b) introducing grooves into surfaces of the multiple building blocks to form grooved sheets,
- c) combining the multiple building blocks with an edible binder by applying the edible binder to the grooved sheets, and
- d) assembling the grooved sheets to form the artificial meat product.
