Description:
PT-1529-WO-PCT MEAT SUBSTITUTE PRODUCT CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims the benefit of European Application No.22189901.6, filed August 11, 2022, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to a meat substitute product comprising a texturized protein ingredient and an emulsion. The emulsion is comprising a randomly interesterified vegetable fat in powdered form. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Traditionally, meat products have taken an important place in our western diet. Meat products are consumed in many different forms as whole muscle or minced pieces of meat that are cooked, grilled, smoked, cured or fermented in form of hamburgers, patties, sausages, balls, nuggets and many more. [0004] There is a growing consumer trend for reducing or completely removing these animal products from their diet. Consumers switch towards plant-based meat substitutes because of various reasons such as health concerns, environmental concerns, sustainability or animal welfare. [0005] In order for a regular meat consumer to be motivated to choose for meat substitutes, it is critical that these substitutes mimic the fibrous qualities provided by animal muscle fiber. The meat substitutes should resemble meat products in terms of appearance and texture during and after cooking. They should mimic organoleptic properties, like appearance, flavor, bite, succulence and mouthfeel when being consumed. [0006] Various functional ingredients in meat substitutes are required to mimic the taste, flavor, texture, mouthfeel and appearance of meat-based products. Additionally, various functional ingredients will also affect the production efficiency of the meat substitutes for example in terms of losses during preparation, formation and cooking of the products; and ease of cleaning PT-1529-WO-PCT the equipment for preparing the products. [0007] There is still a need to improve the organoleptic properties and/or production efficiency of meat substitute products and more specifically of minced meat substitute products. The present invention provides such a solution.

[0014] Meat substitute products are food or feed compositions that mimic animal processed whole-muscle meat products as well as processed restructured meat products such as burgers, patties, sausages and the like. Methods of processing may be salting, chopping, fermentation, boiling, smoking, extrusion or other processes. [0015] Meat substitute products can be divided into minced, also called ground, products and fine paste products. Minced meat substitute products are coarse-particle products such as alternatives for burgers, patties, sausages, balls, nuggets and the like. Fine paste products are typically emulsified products such as alternatives for frankfurter, bologna, mortadella and the like. [0016] The meat substitute product according to the present invention may be a minced meat substitute product. PT-1529-WO-PCT [0017] The minced meat substitute product according to the invention may be shaped in any form, such as the form of a burger, a patty, a ball, a nugget or a sausage. Preferably, the meat substitute product according to the present invention is a minced and shaped meat substitute product. [0018] The meat substitute product according to the invention may be a vegetarian protein product. The vegetarian protein product is not based on meat or fish. More preferably the meat substitute product is a vegan protein product. The vegan protein product is not based on ingredients derived from animals. Examples of ingredients derived from animals are amongst others meat, fish, eggs, milk or honey. [0019] The meat substitute product according to the present invention may be uncooked. The meat substitute product according to the present invention is designed for consumption after cooking. [0020] The meat substitute product according to the present invention comprises a texturized protein ingredient. A texturized protein ingredient is a fibrous protein product. It may enhance the textural and sensorial quality of the meat substitute product. It may influence the bite, succulence and/or moistness of the meat substitute product. Preferably, the texturized protein ingredient is from a vegetable source, i.e. a texturized vegetable protein. A texturized vegetable protein is a processed vegetable product usually made from high protein flour or its protein concentrate through an extrusion process at high temperature and pressure to produce a fibrous, insoluble and porous product. The texturized vegetable protein is sourced amongst others from soy, pea, corn, cottonseed, wheat, sunflower seed, oats or combinations of two or more thereof. More preferably, the texturized protein ingredient is sourced from soy, pea, wheat, sunflower, or mixtures of two or more thereof. More preferably, the texturized protein ingredient is texturized soy protein and/or texturized pea protein. [0021] The texturized protein ingredient may be present in the meat substitute product in hydrated form in an amount of from 30 to 80 wt.%, from 35 to 75 wt.%, or from 40 to 70 wt.% on total weight of the meat substitute product. More specifically, texturized protein ingredient may be present in the meat substitute product in hydrated form in an amount of from 47 to 55 wt.%, such as 52 wt.% on total weight of the meat substitute product. [0022] The meat substitute product according to the present invention also comprises an emulsion comprising a binding agent, a liquid oil, a powdered vegetable fat and water. PT-1529-WO-PCT [0023] Without being bound by any theory, the emulsion of the meat substitute product of the present invention may be an oil-in-water emulsion whereby the water phase is the continuous phase wherein fine oil droplets and the powdered vegetable fat are dispersed. The binding agent that is dispersed in the water phase may give a stabilizing and/or gelling effect. The emulsion is functioning as a binder in the meat substitute product. It binds the texturized protein ingredient such that it may be formed in the shape of a patty, a ball, a sausage or a nugget or any desired shape. [0024] The emulsion is present in the meat substitute product according to the invention in an amount of from 20 to 50 wt.%, from 25 to 45 wt.%, or from 30 to 40 wt.% on total weight of the meat substitute product. [0025] The binding agent in the emulsion of the meat substitute product may be a hydrocolloid. Preferably the binding agent is a hydrocolloid selected from the group consisting of alginate, pectin, carrageenan, gelatin, gellan, agar, and combinations of two or more thereof. More preferably, the binding agent is methylcellulose or a combination of methylcellulose and at least one other hydrocolloid than methylcellulose. For example, the binding agent may be methylcellulose or a combination of methylcellulose and carrageenan. [0026] The binding agent may be present in the emulsion of the meat substitute product according to the invention in an amount of at least 0.1 wt.%, at least 0.3 wt.%, or at least 0.5 wt.% based on total weight of the emulsion. Preferably, the binding agent is present in an amount of from 0.1 to 5 wt.%, from 0.3 to 4 wt.%, from 0.5 to 3 wt.%, for example 2.6 wt.% on total weight of the emulsion. [0027] The term “liquid oil” in the present invention is defined as a triglyceride with a melting point of less than 20°C. The liquid oil can be one liquid oil or a blend of more than one liquid oil. In case of a blend of liquid oils, it is understood that the blend of the more than one liquid oil has a melting point of less than 20°C. [0028] The “liquid oil” is a vegetable oil. Examples of vegetable liquid oils are amongst others double fractionated palm olein, cottonseed oil, corn oil, groundnut oil, linseed oil, olive oil, rapeseed oil, rice bran oil, sesame oil, safflower oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, oil from any variety of oilseeds with increased level of unsaturated fatty acids compared to the original seed variety, such as mid or high oleic sunflower oil. These varieties with increased levels of unsaturated fatty acids can be obtained by natural selection or by genetic modification (GMO). Preferably, the vegetable oil is selected from the group consisting PT-1529-WO-PCT of cottonseed oil, corn oil, groundnut oil, linseed oil, olive oil, rapeseed oil, rice bran oil, sesame oil, safflower oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, their corresponding high oleic varieties, and mixture of two or more thereof. More preferably, the vegetable oil is selected from the group consisting of corn oil, rapeseed oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, their corresponding high oleic varieties, and mixture of two or more thereof. The high oleic varieties are containing at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70% and preferably at least 80% oleic acid in respect of the fatty acid profile. [0029] The liquid oil may be present in the emulsion of the meat substitute product according to the invention in an amount of from 7.0 to 48.0 wt.%, from 10.0 to 45.0 wt.%, or from 12.5 to 42.0 wt.% based on total weight of the emulsion. Preferably, the liquid oil is present in an amount of from 7.5 to 15.0 wt.%, for example 10.0 to 11.0 wt.% on total weight of the emulsion. [0030] The vegetable fat in the emulsion is in powdered form. The term “powdered vegetable fat” is encompassing solid vegetable fats that are in the form of microparticles. Preferably the powdered vegetable fat has an average particle size in a range of from 30 to 350 micron (µm, micrometer), from 50 to 330 micron, from 80 to 300 micron, measured by laser diffraction. The powdered vegetable fat may be obtained by any suitable process for obtaining a solid fat in form of microparticles, such as, but not limited to spray-cooling (also called spray- chilling) or supercritical melt micronization. Preferably the powdered vegetable fat is obtained by any means of spray-cooling. [0031] The powdered vegetable fat may be present in the emulsion of the meat substitute product according to the invention in an amount of from 7.0 to 48.0 wt.%, from 10.0 to 45.0 wt.%, or from 12.5 to 42.0 wt.% based on total weight of the emulsion. Preferably, the powdered vegetable fat is present in an amount of from 7.5 to 15.0 wt.%, for example 10.0 to 11.0 wt.% on total weight of the emulsion. [0032] The liquid oil and the powdered vegetable fat may be present in the emulsion of the meat substitute product according to the present invention in a ratio liquid oil over powdered vegetable fat of from 0.3 to 3.0, from 0.5 to 2.0, from 0.7 to 1.3. [0033] The liquid oil and the powdered vegetable fat may be present in the emulsion of the meat substitute product according to the present invention in a combined amount in a range of from 14.0 to 65.0 wt.%, from 20.0 to 60.0 wt.%, or from 25.0 to 55.0 wt.% based on total weight of the emulsion. Preferably, the liquid oil and the powdered vegetable fat are present in a combined amount of from 20.0 to 30.0 wt.%, for example 20.0 to 22.0 wt.% on total weight of the emulsion. PT-1529-WO-PCT [0034] The powdered vegetable fat is a randomly interesterified fat, which is a triglyceride composition wherein the fatty acids are randomly distributed over the glycerol backbone of the triglycerides. [0035] The randomly interesterified fat can be obtained by means of a process of chemical or enzymatic interesterification. Preferably, the randomly interesterified fat is obtained by means of a chemical interesterification. [0036] A chemical interesterification is performed by using an acidic or basic catalyst, preferably a basic catalyst, such as, but not limited to, sodium methoxide or sodium ethoxide. An enzymatic interesterification is obtained by means of a lipase enzyme. The lipase will generally be non-selective for the positions on the glyceride backbone in order to achieve the optimum random interesterification. Alternatively, selective lipases may be used, provided that the reaction conditions are such that no significant selectivity is observed, for example by running the reaction for extended periods of time. Suitable lipases include the lipases from Thermomyces lanuginosa, Rhizomucor miehei, Rhizopus delemar and Candida rugosa. Preferably, the lipase is suitable for use with food products. [0037] It may be that the interesterification is not fully random, but it is preferably random to a large extent, for example greater than 75 %, greater than 85 %, preferably greater than 95 % of the fatty acid residues may change position during the reaction i.e. less than 25 %, less than 15 %, preferably less than 5 % of the fatty acids retain their original position of the starting triglyceride. [0038] The interesterified triglyceride may be characterized by the position of the saturated (S) and/or unsaturated (U) fatty acids bound onto the glycerol backbone of the triglyceride. [0039] Typically, the abbreviation S is used to denote a saturated fatty acid residue having 12 to 24 carbon atoms. The abbreviation U denotes an unsaturated fatty acid residue having 12 to 24 carbon atoms. Thus, a triglyceride having saturated fatty acids at the 1- and 3- positions and an unsaturated fatty acid at the 2- position of the glycerol backbone is denoted SUS. Likewise, a triglyceride having 2 saturated fatty acids at the 1- or 3- position and at the 2- position of the glycerol backbone and an unsaturated fatty acid at the remaining 1- or 3- position is denoted SSU. The ratio of SUS over SSU (SUS/SSU) of a fully randomized triglyceride composition is 0.5, whereas the SUS/SSU ratio of a non-randomized triglyceride is significantly higher than 1. PT-1529-WO-PCT [0040] In one aspect of the invention, the triglyceride composition of the randomized fat is characterized by a ratio of SUS over SSU (SUS/SSU) in a range of from 0.5 to 1.0, from 0.5 to 0.9, or from 0.5 to 0.8. [0041] The randomly interesterified triglyceride has a fatty acid moiety that is comprising a combined content of palmitic acid (C16) and stearic acid (C18) in a range of from 40 to 75 wt.%, from 45 to 72 wt.%, or from 50 to 68 wt.% on total weight of the fatty acid moiety. [0042] The randomly interesterified fat has a fatty acid moiety that is comprising a content of palmitic acid (C16) and stearic acid (C18) may be sourced from fats such as, but not limited to, palm oil, palm-based oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, shea stearin, shea olein, liquid oils such as sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, cottonseed oil or soybean oil, or any combination of two or more thereof. The triglycerides may be hydrogenated and/or fractionated. Palm-based oil is encompassing palm oil fractions such as stearin and olein fractions (single as well as double fractionated), palm mid fractions and blends of palm oil and/or its fractions. [0043] Furthermore, the randomly interesterified fat has a fatty acid moiety that is comprising a content of lauric acid (C12) in an amount of less than 5 wt.%, less than 3 wt.%, or less than 1 wt.% on total weight of the fatty acid moiety. Typically, lauric acid (C12) is present in oils such as, but not limited to coconut oil, palm kernel oil and babassu oil. [0044] Randomly interesterified fat having a fatty acid moiety that is comprising a content of lauric acid (C12) in an amount of less than 5 wt.% may be a non-lauric fat such as, but not limited to palm oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, shea stearin, shea olein, liquid oils such as sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, cottonseed oil or soybean oil, or any combination of two or more thereof. The non-lauric fat may be hydrogenated and/or fractionated. [0045] The randomly interesterified fat may have a fatty acid moiety with a ratio of C18 over C16 of more than 1.0, more than 1.1, or more than 1.2. Examples of fats having a fatty acid moiety with a ratio of C18 over C16 of more than 1.0 are, but are not limited to cocoa butter, shea butter, shea stearin, shea olein, hydrogenated liquid oils such as hydrogenated sunflower oil, hydrogenated rapeseed oil, hydrogenated cottonseed oil or hydrogenated soybean oil, or any combination of two or more thereof. [0046] Preferably randomly interesterified fat is not sourced from palm. Example of fats sourced from palm are palm oil, palm oil fractions, palm kernel oil, palm kernel oil fractions or any combination of two or more thereof. In addition to the growing trend of consumers who switch PT-1529-WO-PCT to plant-based meat alternatives, consumers also want to ban palm oil from their diet because of sustainability concerns. [0047] Preferably, the randomly interesterified fat has a fatty acid moiety with a ratio of C18 over C16 in a range of from 1.0 to 6.0, from 1.1 to 5.5, or from 1.2 to 5.0. Non-limiting examples of fats having a fatty acid moiety with a ratio of C18 over C16 in a range of from 1.0 to 6.0 are cocoa butter, fractions of cocoa butter and combinations thereof. [0048] Preferably, the randomly interesterified fat is not a hydrogenated fat. [0049] The randomly interesterified fat may have a fatty acid moiety that is comprising a combined content of oleic acid (C18.1c) and linoleic acid (C18.2c) in a range of from 25.0 to 55.0 wt.%, from 28.0 to 50.0 wt.%, or from 30.0 to 45.0 wt.%. Preferably, the randomly interesterified fat may have a fatty acid moiety that is comprising a combined amount of oleic acid (C18.1c) and linoleic acid (C18.2c) in a range of from 30.0 to 38.0 wt.%, for example from 34.0 to 36.0 wt.%.

PT-1529-WO-PCT 2. Preparation of the meat substitute product Step a) Preparation of the emulsion [0072] The emulsion was prepared in a Thermomix. Vegetable fat A to D in powdered form and liquid oil were blended together according to the recipes of the emulsions A to D as described in table 2. Methylcellulose was added to the oil/fat blend and homogenized well by slowly mixing. Ice chilled water (at a temperature of less than 4°C) is subsequently added while mixing at high speed. The emulsion was formed by mixing at high speed for 3 minutes. The emulsion was stored in the refrigerator (4°C) until further use in step b). Step b) Preparation of a meat substitute dough [0073] Water for hydrating the texturized protein ingredient was added into a Stephan mixer according to the recipes A to D of meat substitute product as described in table 1. Colorants and flavours were dispersed into the water. The texturized pea protein ingredient in dry form was added to the water and left to hydrate for 15 minutes under vacuum while slowly mixing. The hydrated texturized pea protein was transferred to a Kenwood mixer where the remaining ingredients were added and mixed without applying vacuum. Pea protein isolate was added and mixed for 4 minutes at slow speed. Subsequently, carrageenan and salt were added and mixed for 4 minutes at slow speed. Afterwards, the emulsion A to D was added and mixed for 4 minutes at slow speed. Finally, particles of fat A to D were added and blend for 2 minutes at higher speed. A meat substitute dough was obtained that was stored overnight at 4°C. Step c) Shaping of the meat substitute dough into a form [0074] The meat substitute dough was shaped into patties. 3. Evaluation of the meat substitute product Evaluation of meat substitute product losses during preparation [0075] The percentage of meat substitute dough that was lost during shape forming into patties due to high stickiness to the equipment was measured. Results are shown in table 4. PT-1529-WO-PCT Sensorial evaluation [0076] Frozen, patty-shaped meat substitute products were baked for 11 minutes at 180°C.
