Shear‑cell fibrous texturization aligns protein chains into oriented micro‑fibers by applying high shear forces at controlled temperatures and residence times.
Origin: Japanese (1990s) — East Asia
See full technique reference →During high‑shear processing, protein polypeptide chains unfold and re‑associate into aligned micro‑fibers, while controlled heating (≈70 °C) promotes partial denaturation without excessive Maillard browning. The resulting protein network traps water, enhancing juiciness and mimicking animal muscle texture.
