Abstract
An edible shelf-stable tomato sauce product of optimal color containing textured protein or a mixture of textured protein and meat has been developed. Upon separation of the textured protein, the screened sauce has a color at 70.degree. F. (21.degree. C.) of from about 20.5 to about 25 Hunter "L" units, from about 18.5 to about 25 Hunter "a" units, and from about 11.5 to about 15 Hunter "b" units. A preferred process for the preparation of this product employs a combination of high-temperature-short-time commercial sterilization and hot-fill-hold processing.
