Abstract
The invention relates to treating a plant-based material with an agent and/or a force to enable the plant-based material to mimic the colour of animal products, wherein the agent and/or force is capable of controlled permeabilisation of cell membrane to thereby release polyphenols from the cells of the plant-based material to allow polyphenol-cell wall interaction and/or causes the oxidation of polyphenols in the plant-based material. Also disclosed is a plant-based food product, such as plant-based meat substitutes, produced by the process thereof.
Claims19
A process, comprising
- treating a plant-based material with an agent and/or a force capable of permeabilising cell membrane and/or oxidising polyphenols, wherein the agent and/or force is capable of controlled permeabilization of cell membrane to thereby release polyphenols from the cells of the plant-based material to allow polyphenol-cell wall interaction and/or causes the oxidation of polyphenols in the plant-based material, and
- wherein the plant-based material comprises minimal to no chlorophyll.
(canceled)
A process, comprising
- treating a plant-based material with an agent and/or a force capable of permeabilising cell membrane and/or oxidising polyphenols, wherein the agent and/or force is capable of controlled permeabilization of cell membrane to thereby release polyphenols from the cells of the plant-based material to allow polyphenol-cell wall interaction and/or causes the oxidation of polyphenols in the plant-based material, and
- wherein the plant-based material is selected from the group consisting of aloe vera, broccoli, brussels sprouts, seaweed, lettuce, mustard cabbage, nai bai, petai, and asparagus.
