Claims20
A process for forming textured shaped protein food products comprising
- a. coating particulate textured protein material with a binder comprising from about 10% to 70%, by weight, of a mixture of cottonseed protein isolate and an edible water soluble salt, the weight ratio of cottonseed protein isolate to salt being from about 1:1 to 30:1, and from about 30% to 90%, by weight, water;
- b. shaping the coated particulate material into a unitary shaped product;
- and
- c. heating the shaped product to heat-set the binder.
A shaped protein food product comprising edible textured protein particles bound together by a heat-set binder comprising from about 10% to 70%, by weight, of a mixture of cottonseed protein isolate and an edible water soluble salt, the weight ratio of cottonseed protein isolate to salt being from about 1:1 to 30:1, and from about 30% to 90%, by weight, water.
A protein food product comprising edible textured protein particles and a mixture of a cottonseed protein isolate and an edible salt, said salt exhibiting a solubility greater than 1 gram in 100 grams of water at 25.degree. C, the weight ratio of cottonseed protein isolate to salt being from about 1:1 to 30:1.
