Abstract
Disclosed here is a process for preparing a concentrated liquid composition (such as a broth) from poultry or other meat sources without the use of any enzymes. The resultant composition may have high content of solids but are pumpable or pourable and have relatively long shelf life at room temperature. Also disclosed are methods of extracting proteins from raw poultry or other meat sources at relatively low temperatures. Methods of making a high protein curd is also disclosed.
Claims7
A composition prepared according to a process comprising:
- (a) incubating a raw liquid material at a temperature between about 50° C. and 160° C. for a period of at least 10 minutes to generate a suspension containing liquid and solid components;
- (b) separating the liquid component of said suspension from the solid component of said suspension;
- (c) collecting the liquid component from step (b),
- wherein said raw liquid material is at least one member selected from the group consisting of poultry sarcoplasm, blood from poultry or other animals, raw poultry or animal meat extract, animal sarcoplasm, and combination thereof;
- and
- (d) of concentrating the liquid component obtained from step (c),
- wherein said composition is pumpable.
