Abstract
There has been a growing interest in meat analog, microstructure characteristics, and anti-nutritional content obtained from soybean. High-moisture extrusion parameters are the input extruder of moisture content (>40%) that get the advantages of lower energy input. Thermo-mechanical treatment has a considerable influence on structural properties of soy-based meat analog. Texturized soy proteins can substitute meat products while providing a high-protein food ingredient which can be consumed directly as meat analogs. Therefore, this review aims to the effect on soybean of micro-structural and physicochemical properties of meat analogs by high-moisture extrusion. Thus, further studies are required concerning a large-scale meat products with purify protein structure.
