Popis: This research presents the formation of anisotropic, and partly fibrous, semi-solid structures with Soy Protein Concentrate (SPC) using the concept of shear-induced structuring. The morphological and mechanical properties of the structures obtained are analyzed using confocal scanning laser microscopy (CSLM), and large scale mechanical deformation analysis. We present process conditions leading to the formation of anisotropic structures in SPC and found that comparable conditions did not result in anisotropy when using soy protein isolate. Results indicate the importance of the dry matter content, the process temperature and the presence of carbohydrates in structure formation. CSLM pictures show that carbohydrates form a separate phase in the system, which is oriented upon processing. The need for high temperatures also required the development of next generation shearing equipment.
