Properties of Texturized Vegetable Proteins from Edible Mushrooms by Using Single-Screw Extruder

Abstract

This research aimed to determine the feasibility of using mushrooms as an alternative ingredient in texturized vegetable protein (TVP) production using a single-screw extruder. TVPs from King Oyster (TVP-KO) and Pheonix mushroom (TVP-PH) were successfully developed and characterized. The visual appearance of TVP was reddish-brown, with a distinct roasted mushroom-soybean aroma. When rehydrated and cooked, both TVPs provided a minced meat-like appearance and chewy meat texture comparable to commercial TVP (TVP-Com); however, they had inferior water and oil holding and rehydration capacities. TVPs contained comparable protein content to TVP-Com (45–47 wt%), slightly lower carbohydrate content (33–36 wt% vs. 39 wt%), and ash (3–4 wt% vs. 8 wt%), but higher lipid content (7–8 wt% vs. 0.84 wt%) than TVP-Com. Sai-aua prepared from TVP-KO gained the highest overall acceptability. Mushrooms proved to be a potential source for TVP production due to their availability, low cost, nutritional value, and health benefits. Moreover, this finding helps add value to traditional meat products, which offer an opportunity for developing non-animal products with satisfactory sensory properties and low cost. In addition, the study would provide scientific resources for developing plant-based meat products that address health awareness and economic and environmental sustainability concerns.

Techno-functional properties of quality protein maize (QPM) (Zea mays L.) protein concentrates

“…However, it also depends on the pore size; the smaller the pore size, the better they are distributed in the structure of the product, and the better the water molecules are held. In the case of gels, water holding capacity is greater if the pore size is between 1 -100 nm according to Ketnawa and Rawdkuen (2023). Therefore, nixtamalization could be modifying the pore size of the particles in the protein concentrates, which resulted in an increase in the capacity to retain moisture (Susilowati et al 2023).…”

Mushroom–Legume-Based Minced Meat: Physico-Chemical and Sensory Properties

“…The a* and b* values were higher in the MMMS than the CPBMM due to the original color of the raw materials. CPBMM is made out of soy flour (either soy flour (50 wt%) or soy protein concentrate (70 wt%)) mixed with water, sodium chloride, and additional other ingredients to form a white or faint yellow powder [80,81]. The color of the optimized MMMS was comparable to PMM, though upon heating PMM gave more of a whitish color than the MMMS.…”

Investigation of resistance using STMS markers against Ascochyta blight in the chickpea varieties

“…Regarding nutritional properties, cholesterol-free and low-fat legumes are preferable in comparison with other plant-derived foods for feeding the world population (Tang et al, 2022;Ketnawa and Rawdkuen, 2023). Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the most important legumes and is widely consumed by humans, especially in tropical and subtropical regions of the world (e.g., the Mediterranean, Near East, Central Asia and 2 America) (Kafadar et al, 2019;Achari et al, 2023).…”
