This paper deals with optimization of oven based texturization method for developed four formulations of meat analogue and further enhancement of meaty flavor in these meat analogue formulations. The meat analogue formulations S2, S8, S19 and S22 were developed in laboratory using Defatted soy flour, Kabuli chickpea flour, Button mushroom and Jackfruit flour in various combination. These developed meat analogue formulations were then subjected to texturization using oven method and the condition of texturization was optimized for time and temperature, based on analyzing their textural parameters like Hardness, Cohesiveness, Adhesiveness, Chewiness, Springiness and gumminess, using Texture Analyzer (Texture Pro CT V1.7 Build 28Brookfield Engineering Labs. Inc.). The meat analogue formulations, texturized at optimized condition were then subjected to meaty flavour enhancement by incorporating Yeast extract and Hydrogenated Vegetable Protein (HVP) individually as well as in various combination and the best level of incorporation was decided on the basis of sensory evaluation. The optimized condition obtained for oven texturization method was 180°C for 20 minutes for both the formulations S2 and S8, whereas for S19 it was 165°C for 30 minutes and for S22, 195°C for 30 minutes. The optimum level of Yeast extract incorporation in S2, S8, S19 and S22 was found to be 3%, 2.5%, 3% and 2.5% respectively. The optimum level of HVP incorporation in all the formulations was found to be 4%. The sensory score for HVP was found to be better in terms of flavour than that of yeast extract for all the four formulations. The optimized combination of Yeast extract and Hydrolyzed vegetable protein in S2, S8, S19 and S22 were observed to be 1% +2.5%, 1% +2.25%, 1% +2.5%, 1% +2.25% respectively.Yeast extract and Hydrolyzed vegetable protein in combination shownbetter overall sensory score as compared to individual incorporation.

It also called a meat substitute, meat alternatives, fake or mock meat, and imitation meat. The increased importance of meat analogue in the current trend is due to the health awareness among consumers in their diet and for a better future environment [ 1 ]. Recently, there have been increased studies of plant- based meat analogue as an alternative protein source to substitute the traditional animal-based food in various parts of the world. This may be due to the rising world population and limited natural resources, causing animal meat production to be an unsustainable practice [ 2 ]. Common meat analogue available in market are made from soybean sources like tofu and in combination with wheat gluten are also used. Different types of proteins can impact the final product's appearance, nutrition, flavors, and health effects. Hence, one of the critical aspects of developing a plant-based meat analog is selecting a suitable protein source. Although many plant-based proteins are used for meat analogue production, soy protein, chickpeas, and wheat gluten are commonly used for meat analog production. Due to their low-cost reasons and possession of the ability to give the desired texture and other characteristics as animal meat [ 3 ]. Mushroom is another option used in meat analogue manufacturing as it is rich in sulfur-containing amino acids that help to attain meat flavor [ 4 ]. Further, the physiological and nutritional quality of the meat can be enhanced by exploring new protein sources and replacing it partially or completely with the traditional alternatives. One such suitable ingredient for this purpose is jackfruit. As the meat analogue is produced from plant based proteins it does not contain the meaty flavour, so as to impart meaty flavour like meat some flavour enhancers are used. Yeast extract pastes are popular sources of flavour for a range of savoury food products, particularly when a meaty aroma is required [ 5 ]. Ames reported that yeast extracts were a source of amino acids, peptides, sugars, nucleotides, lipids and B-group vitamins, all of which could act as meat flavour precursors [ 6 ]. HVP is a meat-like flavour that has been used for over a century [ 7 ]. In the preparation of HVP, either enzymatically or by acid hydrolysis, the proteins are converted into peptides and amino acids, sugars are formed from carbohydrates, resulting in the formation of products like hydroxymethylfurfurals and levulenic acid. Likewise the different plant based sources, methods of texturization are also different such as steaming : is a moist-heat cooking process that transforms food by using hot water vapor to transfer heat, causing significant structural changes to proteins and starches, which results in a solid, tender, and moist texture [ 8 ]. Frying : is a complex food processing technique involving simultaneous, high-temperature heat and mass transfer, where food is immersed in oil typically heated between 150°C and 200°C. The process transforms food by removing water (dehydration) and transferring oil into the product, resulting in a unique combination of a crisp, porous crust and a moist interior [ 9 ]. Extrusion : The food extrusion process is a high-temperature, short-time (HTST) technology that forces raw ingredients—usually dry flours, starch, and protein—through a die, resulting in a continuous product that is simultaneously cooked, mixed, and shaped. The product gets its unique, often airy or fibrous texture through a combination of extreme shear, intense pressure, and heat within a screw-barrel system [ 10 ]. Oven cooking : It is a dry-heat process that transforms raw, often soft, and moist ingredients into firm, browned, and flavorful products through a combination of heat transfer (convection, conduction, and radiation) and chemical reactions. The primary texturizing mechanism involves removing surface moisture to create crispness while simultaneously triggering protein coagulation and starch gelatinization to set the structure [ 11 ]. Therefore, the goal of this research was to create the ideal blend of plant-based protein and other ingredients to create a plant-based meat analogue by optimization of texture and flavour to obtain desired meat-like properties. Materials and Methods Raw materials used for the preparation of meat analogue were Kabuli Chickpea, Jackfruit, Mushroom purchased from local market of Jalgaon. Deoiled soy cake was received from Sanjay Soy Pvt. Ltd. Industry, Avdhan MIDC, Dhule. to make defatted soy flour. Binding agent carrageenan of Iampure and guar gum of Naturesharvest were used. Flavour enhancer yeast extract of Urban platter brand and Hydrolyzed vegetable protein of Agriclub brand were used in the formulation.

The dough was prepared by addition of water and cooked in Oven for different time (15, 20, 25, 30 min) and temperature (150°C, 165°C, 180°C, 195°C) so as to optimized process parameters [ 14 , 15 , 16 ]. After cooking meat analogue sample were cooled down for further analysis. Optimization of Flavour enhancer Four different plant based protein meat analogue formulation as mentioned in Table 1 were prepared by the addition of defatted soy flour, Chickpea flour, Jackfruit flour, mushroom paste, binding agent (carrageenan and guar gum) and flavour enhancer (yeast extract and hydrolyzed vegetable protien) in different concentration from 2.5%, 3%, 3.5% and 4% [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. The dough was prepared by addition of water and cooked in Oven at optimized time and temperature. After cooking meat analogue sample were cooled down for further analysis. Results and Discussion Texture Profile results with respect to time Hardness Characteristics: Hardness values ranged from 3.98 to 6.71 across all samples and time points. Sample S19 demonstrated the highest initial hardness at 6.71 (15 minutes), while S2 showed the lowest hardness of 3.98 at 30 minutes. All three samples exhibited a general declining trend in hardness over time, with S19 dropping from 6.71 to 4.37, S8 fluctuating between 5.53 and 4.72, and S2 decreasing from 5.95 to 3.98 shown in Table 2 . Adhesiveness and Cohesiveness: Adhesiveness measurements were relatively low across all samples, ranging from 0.29 to 1.29. Sample S19 showed the highest adhesiveness at 1.29 (15 minutes), while S8 demonstrated the lowest values, particularly at 0.29 for both 20 and 25 minutes. Cohesiveness varied considerably, with S8 showing notably high values of 0.91 and 0.86 at 15 and 30 minutes respectively, while S19 and S2 displayed more moderate cohesiveness ranging between 0.48 and 0.75. Secondary Texture Parameters: Springiness remained relatively stable across samples, ranging from 2.68 to 4.14 minutes. Gumminess values showed significant variation from 2.31 to 5.61, with S8 at 15 minutes achieving the highest value. Chewiness displayed the widest range from 7.83 to 16.69, with S8 at 30 minutes recording the maximum value of 16.69 and S19 at 25 minutes showing the minimum of 7.83. Processing time appears to significantly influence texture properties. The most pronounced effect is the consistent reduction in hardness across all samples as time increases. This softening pattern suggests thermal or enzymatic breakdown during the cooking process. However, the relationship between time and other parameters is less linear, with gumminess and chewiness showing non-monotonic changes that likely reflect complex structural transformations occurring at different stages of processing. The optimized time for S2 is 20min, S8 is 20min, S19 is 30min and S22 is 30min Table 2 Texture profile results (Duncan Multiple Range Test for the responses of the Meat Analogue Sample w.r.t Time) Meat Analogue sample Time (min) Hardness (mm) Adhesiveness (mJ) Cohesiveness Springiness (mm) Gumminess (g) Chewiness (mJ) Control 20 6.24 1.4 1.1 4.06 6.86 27.87 S2 15 4.8 ± 3.07 ab 0.83 ± 0.39 ab 0.64 ± 0.21 a 3.64 ± 0.34 ab 2.7 ± 0.82 a 9.93 ± 3.7 a 20 5.95 ± 3.05 ab 0.81 ± 0.27 ab 0.64 ± 0.09 a 3.78 ± 0.17 a 3.58 ± 1.16 a 13.50 ± 4.68 a 25 4.59 ± 0.43ab 0.79 ± 0.22 0.63 ± 0.16a 3.18 ± 0.91ab 2.87 ± 0.79a 9.23 ± 3.61a 30 3.98 ± 0.81ab 0.74 ± 0.25ab 0.75 ± 0.09a 4.14 ± 0.29a 2.97 ± 0.59a 12.36 ± 3.14a S8 15 5.53 ± 2.91ab 0.54 ± 0.34ab 0.91 ± 0.33a 3.28 ± 0.69ab 5.61 ± 5.07a 16.18 ± 11.45a 20 5/07 ± 2.95ab 0.30 ± 0.22b 0.85 ± 0.33a 3.46 ± 0.99ab 4.91 ± 4.88a 14.59 ± 10.75a 25 5.17 ± 1.07ab 0.29 ± 0.09b 0.48 ± 0.24a 3.57 ± 1.33ab 2.31 ± 0.75a 8.69 ± 5.14a 30 4.72 ± 2.09ab 0.75 ± 0.31ab 0.86 ± 0.23a 3.58 ± 0.43ab 4.39 ± 3.33a 16.69 ± 15.04a S19 15 6.71 ± 0.58a 1.29 ± 0.61ab 0.72 ± 0.39a 2.68 ± 0.77ab 4.97 ± 3.06a 12.21 ± 5.88a 20 6.44 ± 0.59a 0.85 ± 0.83ab 0.66 ± 0.23a 3.42 ± 0.73ab 4.23 ± 1.49a 14.20 ± 5.62a 25 4.37 ± 1.96ab 0.61 ± 0.40ab 0.60 ± 0.03a 3.14 ± 0.44ab 2.59 ± 1.05a 7.83 ± 1.98a 30 6.33 ± 1.08ab 0.42 ± 0.26b 0.55 ± 0.27a 2.91 ± 1.19ab 3.61 ± 2.24a 12.27 ± 11.81a S22 15 3.91 ± 0.39ab 1.03 ± 0.35ab 1 ± 0.20a 3.11 ± 1.02ab 3.88 ± 0.61a 12.44 ± 5.34a 20 4.53 ± 1.19ab 2.30 ± 2.80a 0.73 ± 0.09a 3.19 ± 1.19ab 3.33 ± 1.19a 11.19 ± 6.31a 25 3.24 ± 1.54b 1.85 ± 2.79ab 0.95 ± 0.85a 2.02 ± 1.70a 3.02 ± 2.29a 6.72 ± 5.49a 30 4.59 ± 0.51ab 0.72 ± 0.25ab 0.67 ± 0.27a 4 ± 1.12a 3.15 ± 1.42a 13.82 ± 8.52a Means that do not share a common letter in one column are significantly different. Texture Profile results with respect to temperature Hardness: Hardness measurements reveal significant variation across temperatures, with 180°C consistently producing the highest values. Sample S8 at 180°C showed the highest hardness (8.1±1.59), closely followed by sample S2 at the same temperature (7.5±2.8). The control sample recorded 6.24 at 180°C. Lower temperatures (150°C and 165°C) generally produced softer textures across all samples, with values ranging from 3.5 to 5.47. Adhesiveness and Cohesiveness: Adhesiveness remained relatively consistent across samples and temperatures, with values ranging from 0.36 to 1.4. The control sample showed the highest adhesiveness at 1.4. Cohesiveness varied more substantially, with sample S8 at 180°C demonstrating notably higher cohesiveness (1.04±0.51) compared to other conditions. Most samples maintained cohesiveness values between 0.51 and 0.81. Springiness: Springiness measurements showed moderate variation, with values ranging from 2.76 to 4.3. Sample S8 at 150°C achieved the highest springiness (4.3±0.74), while the same sample at 180°C recorded the lowest (2.76±0.99). The control sample demonstrated springiness of 4.06 at 180°C. Gumminess and Chewiness: Gumminess and chewiness exhibited the most dramatic differences. Sample S8 at 180°C showed exceptionally high gumminess (9.07±5.17) and chewiness (26.4±15.94 mJ), approaching the control sample values of 6.86 and 27.87 mJ respectively. Other conditions produced substantially lower values, with gumminess typically between 2.3 and 3.75, and chewiness between 8.26 and 14.23 mJ. Temperature Effects: The 180°C cooking temperature consistently produced the most pronounced textural changes across samples, particularly in hardness, gumminess, and chewiness. Lower temperatures (150°C and 165°C) yielded more similar textural profiles, while 195°C showed intermediate characteristics. This suggests 180°C may represent a critical threshold for protein structure modification in these meat analogues. Sample Performance: Sample S8 demonstrated the widest range of textural responses to temperature changes, particularly at 180°C where it achieved values closest to the control sample. Sample S2 showed more moderate responses, while sample S19 data was limited to 150°C in the provided excerpt. The statistical significance markers indicate meaningful differences between temperature treatments within each sample type. The optimized temperature for S2 is 180°C, S8 is 180°C, S19 is 165°C, and S22 is 195°C Table 3: Texture profile results (Duncan Multiple Range Test for the responses of the Meat Analogue Sample w.r.t Temperature) Meat analogue sample Temperature (°C) Hardness (mm) Adhesiveness (mJ) Cohesiveness Springiness (mm) Gumminess (g) Chewiness (mJ) Control 180 6.24 1.4 1.1 4.06 6.86 27.87 S2 150 3.73±0.47b 0.74±0.24a 0.66±0.12ab 3.88±0.13ab 2.43±0.49b 9.46±2.1b 165 3.98±0.53b 0.81±0.18a 0.67±0.02ab 3.80±0.30abc 2.68±0.45b 10.14±1.53b 180 7.5±2.8a 0.87±0.45a 0.51±0.14b 3.59±1.15abc 3.75±1.22b 14.23±6.97b 195 4.07±0.83b 0.73±0.19a 0.81±0.07ab 3.4±0.31abc 3.2±0.46b 11.22±1.33b S8 150 3.5±1.61b 0.57±0.16a 0.73±0.16ab 4.3±0.74a 2.4±0.4b 10.71±3.5b 165 4.44±0.93b 0.36±0.38a 0.75±0.06ab 3.20±0.19abc 3.35±0.78b 10.78±2.57b 180 8.1±1.59a 0.45±0.36a 1.04±0.51ab 2.76±0.99abc 9.07±5.17a 26.4±15.94a 195 4.36±0.64b 0.49±0.33a 0.55±0.17b 3.5±0.27abc 2.3±0.64b 8.26±1.68b S19 150 5.47±1.4ab 1.32±0.68a 0.56±0.14b 3.14±0.43abc 2.99±0.88b 9.59±4.08b 165 5.84±1.74ab 0.68±0.28a 0.56±0.23b 3.67±0.41abc 3.29±1.90b 12.62±8.80b 180 6.55±1.01ab 0.60±0.87a 0.76±0.40ab 2.64±0.90bc 5.18±3.16b 14.04±8.69b 195 5.86±2.06ab 0.61±0.17a 0.67±0.07ab 2.61±0.91bc 4.03±1.68b 9.57±2.30b S22 150 3.58±0.93b 2.19±2.54a 1.16±0.69a 2.22±1.65c 3.86±1.57b 8.65±7.23b 165 4.46±0.25b 0.90±0.13a 0.76±0.13ab 4.04±0.58ab 3.39±0.63b 13.81±3.86b 180 3.67±1.96b 1.82±3.12a 0.71±0.44ab 2.52±1.64bc 2.88±2.24b 9.89±9.33b 195 4.56±0.25b 0.92±0.30a 0.70±0.24ab 3.62±0.88abc 3.21±1.12b 12.21±6.66b Means that do not share a common letter in one column are significantly different. Sensory Analysis of individual addition of yeast extract (YE) and Hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) Figure 5 summarizes that Yeast extract (YE) appear to show a declining trend in sensory scores as YE concentration increases from 2.5% to 4%. For example, Appearance decreases from approximately 5.1 to 4.3, and Overall Acceptability falls from 5.3 to 4.3. This suggests higher YE concentrations may negatively impact sensory quality. Whereas, hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) Scores generally increase with HVP concentration. Appearance moves from about 5.6 (2.5%) up to 7.6 (3.5%), Colour from 5.7 to 7.9, and Overall Acceptability improves markedly from 5.6 to 8.1. This trend indicates higher HVP levels may enhance sensory appeal. This shows that YE addition tends to reduce sensory scores as concentration grows and HVP addition tends to improve sensory scores with increasing concentration. The optimum levels of Yeast extract and HVP are 3% and 4% respectively. From Fig 6 it concludes that lower and higher YE concentrations (2.5% and 3%) generally improve sensory qualities across attributes compared to the Control, with increased Average Overall Acceptability. YE levels (3% and 4%) show consistent declines in sensory scores, particularly in Colour, Flavour, Texture, and Overall Acceptability, indicating a potential threshold where YE negatively impacts product appeal. Whereas, the sensory evaluation clearly shows that increasing HVP concentration from 2.5% to 4% enhances the sensory attributes across the board for the product tested. The 4% HVP level achieved better scores in appearance, colour, flavour, texture, and overall acceptability, with less variability in panelist responses, suggesting improved product consistency and appeal. Therefore 2.5% YE and 4% HVP are optimum for enhancing flavour of meat analogue sample S8 As shown in fig 7, adding yeast extract (YE) at around 3% produces the best sensory results in this trial. Increased YE or HVP above this level reduces panel acceptability. The optimal sensory quality was observed for the formulation with 3% yeast extract and 4% Hydrolyzed vegetable protein in meat analogue sample S19 Conclusion The current study finds that good quality meat analogues can be prepared using defatted soy flour, Kabuli chickpea flour, mushroom paste, and jackfruit flour, while maintaining texture and sensory attributes The optimized condition obtained for oven cooking method was 180°C for 20 minutes for both the formulations S2 and S8, whereas for S19 it was 165°C for 30 minutes and for S22, 195°C for 30 minutes. The optimum level of Yeast extract incorporation in S2, S8, S19 and S22 was found to be 3%, 2.5%, 3% and 2.5% respectively. The optimum level of HVP incorporation in all the formulations was found to be 4%. The sensory score for HVP was found to be better in terms of flavour than that of yeast extract for all the four formulations. The optimized combination of Yeast extract and Hydrolyzed vegetable protein in S2, S8, S19 and S22 were observed to be 1% +2.5%, 1% +2.25%, 1% +2.5%, 1% +2.25% respectively. Yeast extract and Hydrolyzed vegetable protein in combination shown better overall sensory score as compared to individual incorporation.

Analogue\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e","fulltext":[{"header":"Introduction","content":"\u003cp\u003eThe definition of meat analog refers to the replacement of the main ingredient with other than meat. It also called a meat substitute, meat alternatives, fake or mock meat, and imitation meat. The increased importance of meat analogue in the current trend is due to the health awareness among consumers in their diet and for a better future environment [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR1\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e]. Recently, there have been increased studies of plant- based meat analogue as an alternative protein source to substitute the traditional animal-based food in various parts of the world. This may be due to the rising world population and limited natural resources, causing animal meat production to be an unsustainable practice [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCommon meat analogue available in market are made from soybean sources like tofu and in combination with wheat gluten are also used. Different types of proteins can impact the final product's appearance, nutrition, flavors, and health effects. Hence, one of the critical aspects of developing a plant-based meat analog is selecting a suitable protein source. Although many plant-based proteins are used for meat analogue production, soy protein, chickpeas, and wheat gluten are commonly used for meat analog production. Due to their low-cost reasons and possession of the ability to give the desired texture and other characteristics as animal meat [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e]. Mushroom is another option used in meat analogue manufacturing as it is rich in sulfur-containing amino acids that help to attain meat flavor [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR4\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e]. Further, the physiological and nutritional quality of the meat can be enhanced by exploring new protein sources and replacing it partially or completely with the traditional alternatives. One such suitable ingredient for this purpose is jackfruit.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs the meat analogue is produced from plant based proteins it does not contain the meaty flavour, so as to impart meaty flavour like meat some flavour enhancers are used. Yeast extract pastes are popular sources of flavour for a range of savoury food products, particularly when a meaty aroma is required [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR5\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e5\u003c/span\u003e]. Ames reported that yeast extracts were a source of amino acids, peptides, sugars, nucleotides, lipids and B-group vitamins, all of which could act as meat flavour precursors [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR6\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e6\u003c/span\u003e]. HVP is a meat-like flavour that has been used for over a century [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e]. In the preparation of HVP, either enzymatically or by acid hydrolysis, the proteins are converted into peptides and amino acids, sugars are formed from carbohydrates, resulting in the formation of products like hydroxymethylfurfurals and levulenic acid.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLikewise the different plant based sources, methods of texturization are also different such as \u003cb\u003esteaming\u003c/b\u003e: is a moist-heat cooking process that transforms food by using hot water vapor to transfer heat, causing significant structural changes to proteins and starches, which results in a solid, tender, and moist texture [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR8\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e8\u003c/span\u003e]. \u003cb\u003eFrying\u003c/b\u003e: is a complex food processing technique involving simultaneous, high-temperature heat and mass transfer, where food is immersed in oil typically heated between 150\u0026deg;C and 200\u0026deg;C. The process transforms food by removing water (dehydration) and transferring oil into the product, resulting in a unique combination of a crisp, porous crust and a moist interior [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e9\u003c/span\u003e]. \u003cb\u003eExtrusion\u003c/b\u003e: The food extrusion process is a high-temperature, short-time (HTST) technology that forces raw ingredients\u0026mdash;usually dry flours, starch, and protein\u0026mdash;through a die, resulting in a continuous product that is simultaneously cooked, mixed, and shaped. The product gets its unique, often airy or fibrous texture through a combination of extreme shear, intense pressure, and heat within a screw-barrel system [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR10\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e10\u003c/span\u003e]. \u003cb\u003eOven cooking\u003c/b\u003e: It is a dry-heat process that transforms raw, often soft, and moist ingredients into firm, browned, and flavorful products through a combination of heat transfer (convection, conduction, and radiation) and chemical reactions. The primary texturizing mechanism involves removing surface moisture to create crispness while simultaneously triggering protein coagulation and starch gelatinization to set the structure [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR11\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e11\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTherefore, the goal of this research was to create the ideal blend of plant-based protein and other ingredients to create a plant-based meat analogue by optimization of texture and flavour to obtain desired meat-like properties.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Materials and Methods","content":"\u003cp\u003e Raw materials used for the preparation of meat analogue were Kabuli Chickpea, Jackfruit, Mushroom purchased from local market of Jalgaon.

Sample S19 demonstrated the highest initial hardness at 6.71 (15 minutes), while S2 showed the lowest hardness of 3.98 at 30 minutes. All three samples exhibited a general declining trend in hardness over time, with S19 dropping from 6.71 to 4.37, S8 fluctuating between 5.53 and 4.72, and S2 decreasing from 5.95 to 3.98 shown in Table \u003cspan class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eAdhesiveness and Cohesiveness: Adhesiveness measurements were relatively low across all samples, ranging from 0.29 to 1.29. Sample S19 showed the highest adhesiveness at 1.29 (15 minutes), while S8 demonstrated the lowest values, particularly at 0.29 for both 20 and 25 minutes. Cohesiveness varied considerably, with S8 showing notably high values of 0.91 and 0.86 at 15 and 30 minutes respectively, while S19 and S2 displayed more moderate cohesiveness ranging between 0.48 and 0.75.\u003c/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eSecondary Texture Parameters: Springiness remained relatively stable across samples, ranging from 2.68 to 4.14 minutes. Gumminess values showed significant variation from 2.31 to 5.61, with S8 at 15 minutes achieving the highest value. Chewiness displayed the widest range from 7.83 to 16.69, with S8 at 30 minutes recording the maximum value of 16.69 and S19 at 25 minutes showing the minimum of 7.83.\u003c/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eProcessing time appears to significantly influence texture properties. The most pronounced effect is the consistent reduction in hardness across all samples as time increases. This softening pattern suggests thermal or enzymatic breakdown during the cooking process. However, the relationship between time and other parameters is less linear, with gumminess and chewiness showing non-monotonic changes that likely reflect complex structural transformations occurring at different stages of processing. The optimized time for S2 is 20min, S8 is 20min, S19 is 30min and S22 is 30min\u003c/p\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"gridtable\"\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"colspec\"

temperature\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eHardness: Hardness measurements reveal significant variation across temperatures, with 180\u0026deg;C consistently producing the highest values. Sample S8 at 180\u0026deg;C showed the highest hardness (8.1\u0026plusmn;1.59), closely followed by sample S2 at the same temperature (7.5\u0026plusmn;2.8). The control sample recorded 6.24 at 180\u0026deg;C. Lower temperatures (150\u0026deg;C and 165\u0026deg;C) generally produced softer textures across all samples, with values ranging from 3.5 to 5.47.\u003c/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eAdhesiveness and Cohesiveness: Adhesiveness remained relatively consistent across samples and temperatures, with values ranging from 0.36 to 1.4. The control sample showed the highest adhesiveness at 1.4. Cohesiveness varied more substantially, with sample S8 at 180\u0026deg;C demonstrating notably higher cohesiveness (1.04\u0026plusmn;0.51) compared to other conditions. Most samples maintained cohesiveness values between 0.51 and 0.81.\u003c/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eSpringiness: Springiness measurements showed moderate variation, with values ranging from 2.76 to 4.3. Sample S8 at 150\u0026deg;C achieved the highest springiness (4.3\u0026plusmn;0.74), while the same sample at 180\u0026deg;C recorded the lowest (2.76\u0026plusmn;0.99). The control sample demonstrated springiness of 4.06 at 180\u0026deg;C.\u003c/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eGumminess and Chewiness: Gumminess and chewiness exhibited the most dramatic differences. Sample S8 at 180\u0026deg;C showed exceptionally high gumminess (9.07\u0026plusmn;5.17) and chewiness (26.4\u0026plusmn;15.94 mJ), approaching the control sample values of 6.86 and 27.87 mJ respectively. Other conditions produced substantially lower values, with gumminess typically between 2.3 and 3.75, and chewiness between 8.26 and 14.23 mJ.\u003c/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eTemperature Effects: The 180\u0026deg;C cooking temperature consistently produced the most pronounced textural changes across samples, particularly in hardness, gumminess, and chewiness. Lower temperatures (150\u0026deg;C and 165\u0026deg;C) yielded more similar textural profiles, while 195\u0026deg;C showed intermediate characteristics. This suggests 180\u0026deg;C may represent a critical threshold for protein structure modification in these meat analogues.\u003c/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eSample Performance: Sample S8 demonstrated the widest range of textural responses to temperature changes, particularly at 180\u0026deg;C where it achieved values closest to the control sample. Sample S2 showed more moderate responses, while sample S19 data was limited to 150\u0026deg;C in the provided excerpt. The statistical significance markers indicate meaningful differences between temperature treatments within each sample type. The optimized temperature for S2 is 180\u0026deg;C, S8 is 180\u0026deg;C, S19 is 165\u0026deg;C, and S22 is 195\u0026deg;C\u003c/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eTable 3: Texture profile results (Duncan

(HVP)\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eFigure 5 summarizes that Yeast extract (YE) appear to show a declining trend in sensory scores as YE concentration increases from 2.5% to 4%. For example, Appearance decreases from approximately 5.1 to 4.3, and Overall Acceptability falls from 5.3 to 4.3. This suggests higher YE concentrations may negatively impact sensory quality. Whereas, hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) Scores generally increase with HVP concentration. Appearance moves from about 5.6 (2.5%) up to 7.6 (3.5%), Colour from 5.7 to 7.9, and Overall Acceptability improves markedly from 5.6 to 8.1. This trend indicates higher HVP levels may enhance sensory appeal. This shows that YE addition tends to reduce sensory scores as concentration grows and HVP addition tends to improve sensory scores with increasing concentration. The optimum levels of Yeast extract and HVP are 3% and 4% respectively.\u003c/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eFrom Fig 6 it concludes that lower and higher YE concentrations (2.5% and 3%) generally improve sensory qualities across attributes compared to the Control, with increased Average Overall Acceptability.\u003cstrong\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/strong\u003eYE levels (3% and 4%) show consistent declines in sensory scores, particularly in Colour, Flavour, Texture, and Overall Acceptability, indicating a potential threshold where YE negatively impacts product appeal.\u003cstrong\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/strong\u003eWhereas, the sensory evaluation clearly shows that increasing HVP concentration from 2.5% to 4% enhances the sensory attributes across the board for the product tested. The 4% HVP level achieved better scores in appearance, colour, flavour, texture, and overall acceptability, with less variability in panelist responses, suggesting improved product consistency and appeal. Therefore 2.5% YE and 4% HVP are optimum for enhancing flavour of meat analogue sample S8\u003c/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eAs shown in fig 7, adding yeast extract (YE) at around 3% produces the best sensory results in this trial.

This paper deals with optimization of oven based texturization method for developed four formulations of meat analogue and further enhancement of meaty flavor in these meat analogue formulations. The meat analogue formulations S2, S8, S19 and S22 were developed in laboratory using Defatted soy flour, Kabuli chickpea flour, Button mushroom and Jackfruit flour in various combination. These developed meat analogue formulations were then subjected to texturization using oven method and the condition of texturization was optimized for time and temperature, based on analyzing their textural parameters like Hardness, Cohesiveness, Adhesiveness, Chewiness, Springiness and gumminess, using Texture Analyzer (Texture Pro CT V1.7 Build 28Brookfield Engineering Labs. Inc.). The meat analogue formulations, texturized at optimized condition were then subjected to meaty flavour enhancement by incorporating Yeast extract and Hydrogenated Vegetable Protein (HVP) individually as well as in various combination and the best level of incorporation was decided on the basis of sensory evaluation. The optimized condition obtained for oven texturization method was 180\u0026deg;C for 20 minutes for both the formulations S2 and S8, whereas for S19 it was 165\u0026deg;C for 30 minutes and for S22, 195\u0026deg;C for 30 minutes. The optimum level of Yeast extract incorporation in S2, S8, S19 and S22 was found to be 3%, 2.5%, 3% and 2.5% respectively. The optimum level of HVP incorporation in all the formulations was found to be 4%. The sensory score for HVP was found to be better in terms of flavour than that of yeast extract for all the four formulations. The optimized combination of Yeast extract and Hydrolyzed vegetable protein in S2, S8, S19 and S22 were observed to be 1% +2.5%, 1% +2.25%, 1% +2.5%, 1% +2.25% respectively.Yeast extract and Hydrolyzed vegetable protein in combination shownbetter overall sensory score as compared to individual incorporation.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Texture and Flavour Optimization of Plant Based Meat Analogue","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2026-03-24 06:51:12","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-9195775/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"
