Description
Alternative protein sources are processed with precise thermal, mechanical, and fermentation parameters to optimize texture, flavor, and safety.
Technical
Thermal treatments induce protein denaturation and Maillard browning, while fermentation releases bioactive peptides and reduces isoflavones. High‑pressure processing preserves native structure, and sous‑vide cooking maintains moisture.
