Abstract
A process for the manufacturing of a meat-analog foodstuff using an aqueous protein paste as the starting material. In this process, the aqueous paste which is prepared by grinding meat, poultry or fish offals is cooled until it partly solidifies as a plastic mass whereafter it is subjected to mechanical forces which cause the protein fibrils of the mass to reorient themselves in a preferred direction thus imparting to the mass a texture resembling that of muscular fibers.
