Abstract

Filamentary edible proteins having fat globules uniformly dispersed therethrough are shaped, e.g., by wet spinning, from homogeneous protein/fat formulations, the diameters of the fat globules being from 1 to 60 microns and the fat having a degree of saponification of no greater than 5%. Such fibrous proteins are, for example, attractive meat substitutes.
