This invention provides a process for preparing a textured soybean protein (TSP), the process having the steps of pressurizing and heating a raw material containing a soybean protein and water, quickly releasing the pressure to texturize the protein, bringing the obtained TSP into contact with steam while the TSP remains hot and is not completely dried. According to the process of this invention, a TSP having a good flavor can be produced in a simple and economical manner.
Claims5
A process for preparing a textured soybean protein, the process comprising the steps of pressurizing and heating a raw material containing a soybean protein and water, quickly releasing the pressure to texturize the soybean protein and, while retaining heat from said heating to provide a temperature of 45.degree. C. or higher, bringing the textured soybean protein (TSP) thus obtained into contact with saturated steam while the TSP remains hot and is not completely dried.
