The present invention relates to a method of making a cold cut meat analogue, said method comprising: mixing a combination of two or more plant protein isolates, wheat gluten and optionally other ingredients, wherein the % (w/w) dry weight ratio of the combination of two or more plant protein isolates to wheat gluten ranges from 65:35 to 85:15, and wherein at least one plant protein isolate is derived from pea and/or at least one plant protein isolate is derived from soy; adding water and mixing to form a dough; extruding the dough by wet extrusion; cooling; and optionally cutting. A cold cut meat analogue made by the method of the invention is also provided.

A preparation method for the high-clarity soybean flavor peptide comprises the following steps: mixing soybean and/or soybean meal with water and performing colloid milling to obtain a soybean protein slurry; adding protease and cellulase, performing filtering when hydrolysis degree reaches 10-15%, and then performing separation by a separator to obtain intermediate clear liquid which is soybean flavor peptide liquid, wherein the protease consists of papain and flavourzyme; adjusting a pH value of soybean flavor peptide liquid to 4.2-4.5, performing concentration under reduced pressure in vacuum, and performing heat preservation at 45-50° C. for 2-3 hours; performing filtration, heating a filtrate to 90° C., performing heat preservation for 1.0-1.5 hours, and performing spray-drying to obtain the high-clarity soybean flavor peptide. The method uses the flavourzyme to release a hydrophobic group in a soybean protein, then promotes occurrence of proteoid reaction and accelerates aggregation of the hydrophobic group.

The invention provides nanoemulsion for preparing plant-based meat, the nanoemulsion has a particle size ranging from 300 nm to 320 nm. The plant-based meat prepared by using the nanoemulsion of the present invention can retain flavors after various cooking methods. The plant-based meat of the present invention can withstand different pH values and temperatures, and remains stable at different concentrations of salt, sugar, lipids, protein, carbohydrates and a variety of organic compounds, and will not lower consumer’s flavor expectations and perceptions. The plant-based meat of the present invention retains more flavors, so less flavoring is needed, and the cost will be reduced.
