Abstract
A method for making an encased vegetable based jerky includes the steps of: hydrating a texturized vegetable protein mixture to form a fibrous mass; hydrating a gel forming vegetable protein isolate to form a protein gel; mixing the protein gel with the fibrous mass to form a mixed mass; extruding the mixed mass into a casing to form a cased mass; and cooking and drying the cased mass to form encased vegetable based jerky. The encased vegetable based jerky includes: a three-component protein mix including a textured long fiber vegetable protein, a textured short fiber vegetable protein, and a gel forming vegetable protein isolate, the three-component protein mix forming a plurality of protein clusters dispersed in the meat analogue; psyllium husk; and a casing enclosing the three-component vegetable protein mix wherein the casing is substantially free of breaks or delaminated portions, wherein the encased vegetable based jerky is substantially free of added vegetable oil.
