Abstract
A process of making meat analogs which comprises forming a dry protein mix, adjusting the moisture content of the dry mix to form a dough-like protein wet mix, sheeting the protein wet mix to form a coherent workable protein dough sheet, cutting the sheet to form fiber-like strands, aggregating the strands into a desired fiber alignment, preferably coating the aligned fibers with an edible binder material, and stabilizing the fibers to form a coherent fiber mass closely resembling meat in appearance, texture, and eating quality.
