Abstract
A semi-unitary protein product consisting essentially of a bundle of intermittently fused parallel protein fibers which closely resembles the fibrous structure of natural meat can be prepared by heating a protein-water mixture to form an extrudable plastic mass and then extruding the mass under pressure through a spinneret having a plurality of closely-spaced orifices therein directly into a gaseous medium to yield the desired product.
