Texture is a major challenge in addressing the need to find sustainable meat alternatives, as consumers desire alternative meat to have a sensory profile like meat. In this study, the fabrication of imitated muscle fiber (IMF) is performed by introducing different kinds of protein sources, with an effective bottom-up technique- wet spinning. Herein, the protein sources (pea protein isolate, wheat protein, and myofibrillar paste) were combined with sodium alginate to stimulate the bonding with the coagulation solution for fabrication. It has been found that the fabrication of IMF is possible using all the protein sources, however, due to the difference in protein structure, a significant difference was observed in quality characteristics compared to conventional meat. Additionally, combination of wheat protein and pea protein isolate has given similar values as conventional meat in terms of some of the texture profiles and Warner-Bratzler shear force. In general, the optimization of protein sources for wet spinning can provides a novel way for the production of edible fiber of alternative meat.
质地是满足寻找可持续肉类替代品需求的一个主要挑战,因为消费者希望替代肉类具有类似肉类的感官特征。在本研究中,通过引入不同种类的蛋白质来源,采用一种有效的自下而上技术——湿法纺丝来制造仿肌纤维(IMF)。在此,将蛋白质来源(豌豆分离蛋白、小麦蛋白和肌原纤维糊)与海藻酸钠混合,以促进与凝固液的结合用于制造。已发现使用所有蛋白质来源都可以制造IMF,然而,由于蛋白质结构的差异,与传统肉类相比,在质量特性上观察到显著差异。此外,小麦蛋白和豌豆分离蛋白的组合在一些质地特征和华纳-布拉茨勒剪切力方面给出了与传统肉类相似的值。总体而言,湿法纺丝蛋白质来源的优化可为替代肉类可食用纤维的生产提供一种新方法。
