Textured vegetable protein (TVP)

Textured vegetable protein is also called textured soy protein, commonly known as vegetable protein or vegetarian meat. It is extracted from defatted soy flour by squeezing and extracting from defatted soy flour, and its by-product is soy oil. Vegetable protein is easy to cook, and its protein content is equivalent to real meat but without fat, which is good for health without losing the sense of deliciousness.

Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) was a mainstay of 1970s and 1980s vegetarian cooking, and it’s still commonly available at most natural foods stores. But the stuff has gotten less popular over the years as the quality of vegan meats has improved.

TVP was originally developed, not for the sake of pleasing vegans, but as a cheap way to extend hamburger and other ground meat products. But the stuff caught on in the vegetarian community during the 1970s because, seasoned appropriately, it could be made into dishes that were capable of fooling meat eaters.

As its name implies, TVP is essentially pure protein. The product is made by processing soybeans in a way that removes all fat and carbohydrates. Like tofu (another soy-based ingredient) TVP readily absorbs the flavors of any recipe it’s a part of, making it an extremely versatile cooking ingredient.

TVP is mainly extracted from soybeans, but can also be obtained from cottonseed, wheat and oats. It is a combination of protein. It can be extruded into various shapes (blocks, slices, blocks, grains and ribbons) and various sizes, and will expand when exposed to heat at the discharge port. The defatted thermoplastic protein can be heated to 150-200°C; and it is denatured into fibers, insoluble, porous, and can be soaked in liquid to absorb 3 times its own weight.

When the extruded protein mixture melts out of the machine, it will suddenly change into a fluffy and dry solid under a sudden drop in pressure. When 50% of the protein reaches dryness, the vegetable protein can absorb water at a ratio of 2:1, and 16% of the protein will be lost in the process, which is very close to real meat. The high-quality textured vegetable protein TVP can be combined with Meat is mixed in a ratio of 1:3 (TVP: meat) without reducing the quality of the final product. Sometimes it is necessary to add this kind of vegetarian meat to make up for the lack of meat; its main purpose is as a substitute for meat, at a price It is only one-third or less of real meat, and will not shrink or lose weight during cooking.

Soy Fiber: The Invisible 'Hero' in Canned Foods

图片
 Soybean fiber is mainly derived from by - products generated during the soybean processing, such as soybean dregs and soybean skins. These materials, which were originally likely to be regarded as waste, have transformed into soybean fiber with a variety of excellent properties after a series of complex and sophisticated extraction processes. Currently, there are diverse extraction methods for soybean fiber, mainly including physical methods, chemical methods, and biological methods. In the large family of canned foods, whether it is delicious meat cans or fresh fruit and vegetable cans, soybean fiber plays an indispensable and important role in improving the quality and enhancing the nutrition of canned foods. Magical effects of soybean fiber in canned foods Improving Texture and Taste Soybean fiber has unique gel properties and extremely excellent oil - holding and water - retaining capabilities, and this characteristic is demonstrated most vividly in canned meat products. When ...

Emulsified Soy Protein Isolate: An Innovative Force in the Food Industry

图片
Emulsified soy protein isolate represents an innovative achievement in the field of soy protein isolates. It starts with high-quality soybeans and undergoes multiple meticulous purification processes to remove non-protein components such as fats and carbohydrates from the soybeans, resulting in an extremely pure soy protein. The finished product appears as a fine powder with uniform color and an exceptionally high protein content, typically exceeding 90%, far surpassing that of ordinary soy protein products. In terms of advantages, emulsified soy protein isolate boasts superior emulsification stability, rapidly forming a stable emulsion in oil-water systems and preventing oil droplet aggregation and layering. In baked goods, it effectively emulsifies fats, ensuring uniform internal structure, soft texture, and extended shelf life for products like bread and cakes. Its outstanding nutritional enhancement effect is also remarkable. As a high-quality plant protein, it is rich in essential...

The Role of Soy Fiber in Sauces

图片
Sauces play an indispensable role in our diet. Whether it is ketchup that adds color and flavor to dishes or meat sauce that gives dishes a unique flavor, they all add rich flavors to our dining tables with their unique charm. And soy fiber also plays a key role in these sauces, contributing to improving the quality and optimizing the taste of sauces. Thickening effect Soybean fiber can increase the viscosity of sauces, giving them an appropriate flowability and texture. For example, when making salad dressing, adding soy fiber enables the dressing to adhere better to the surface of vegetables. It won't be too thin and runny, thus enhancing the eating experience. In ketchup, it can also make the ketchup maintain a certain shape when squeezed out of the bottle and not quickly flow and deform. Improving taste Soy fiber can endow sauces with a rich taste. It can make the taste of the sauce more full-bodied and layered, avoiding a too single and plain taste. Take broad bean paste as an...
