Abstract
Disclosed is a method for producing fibrous protein materials useful for fish analogs. According to this method, an aqueous mixture of a heat coagulable protein is frozen by cooling the mixture in a manner and at a rate effective to produce elongated ice crystals generally aligned perpendicular to the surface of cooling, then subjected to a temperature substantially different from that of the frozen mass, and the protein in the frozen mass is then stabilized effectively to preserve its structural integrity during subsequent heating to set the protein.
