Using textured vegetable protein, one can make vegetarian or vegan versions of traditionally meat dishes. It can replace ground beef, ground lamb, etc in most recipes, and in tuna fish salad to the extent of 30% or more. The extrusion technology changes the structure of the soy protein, resulting in a texture similar to meat.
It can be used as a meat replacement or supplement. However, TVP when made from soy concentrate contains 70% protein and can be rehydrated at a ratio of 1:3. It needs to be rehydrated before using, at a weight ratio of 1:2 with water. TVP, available as a powder or in the form of small chunks or flakes, is made from soy flour containing 50% soy protein.
