The invention is concerned with a process for the production of a textured protein-containing edible product resembling cooked meat from a fibrous protein material without the use of a binder, in which the proteins are spun, the fibres obtained are subjected to a combined pressing and dehydrating operation in a mould, impregnated with a solution of aroma precursors and sterilized in a container. The process is characterized in that, with the fibres arranged substantially parallel to one another in the mould, the combined pressing and dehydrating operation is carried out by subjecting the fibres to mechanical compression in the axial direction.

A process for the production of a textured protein-containing edible product resembling cooked meat from a fibrous protein material without the use of a binder comprising: (a) spinning the proteins and passing the spun proteins through a coagulation bath to form a tow of fibers; (b) arranging the fibers in a mold to orient them substantially parallel to one another; (c) subjecting the fibers while in the mold to a combined pressing and dehydrating step by applying mechanical compression to the fibers in the axial direction such that pressure is transmitted in a direction along the length of the fibers; (d) removing blocks of pressed fibers from the mold; (e) impregnating the pressed fibers with a solution of aroma precursors; and then (f) sterilizing the impregnated fibers in a container.
