Plant-based protein substitute food obtained through immersion culturing of morchella esculenta mycelium, and method for producing same

Abstract

The present invention relates to a plant-based protein substitute food produced through immersion culturing of Morchella esculenta mycelium, and a method for producing same. The mycelium of Morchella esculenta Morel KK (Accession No: KACC83080BP) newly isolated for a protein substitute obtained by the method according to the present invention has a short culturing period of 5.5 days compared to other mushrooms, has a remarkably high mycelial production yield 3-4 times greater than that of other mushrooms, has a texture similar to that of chicken or beef after being cooked as a press-molded product, and is remarkably price competitive compared to commercially available plant-based artificial meat, and thus can be effectively used in the development of protein substitute and meat substitute foods.
