Negative effects on meat consumption have prompted the rise of protein alternatives. Although chicken is rich in protein, it has no dietary fibre. Hence, alternative fibre and protein-rich ingredients can be found in shiitake mushrooms with an umami flavour and tempeh with a dense texture. High-pressure processing (HPP) can improve the texture and technological functionalities of various foo…
Excessive meat consumption's negative effects have driven the development of meat alternatives. While chicken is protein-rich, it lacks fiber, so mushrooms were used for their high fiber content, and jackfruit's fibrous texture to mimic chicken. High-pressure processing (HPP) improved texture and preserved nutritional value. This study aimed to develop nuggets using chicken, hybrid, and PBM…
