Abstract:
Moisture is retained in cooked or thawed food by adding to the food an aqueous suspension of animal muscle protein obtained from animal muscle tissue. The aqueous suspension is obtained by mixing comminuted animal muscle tissue with a food grade acid to form an aqueous acidic solution of animal muscle protein. The acidic solution is mixed with a food grade base to precipitate the protein in an aqueous composition. The precipitated protein then is comminuted to form an aqueous suspension of comminuted animal muscle protein.

Claim (Index 1):
The process for forming an injectable salted aqueous suspension of functional animal muscle tissue protein composition for use during a food processing injection procedure with at least one injection pathway wherein said injectable salted aqueous suspension of functional animal muscle tissue comprises sarcoplasmic proteins and myofibrillar proteins, said process comprising:\n A) comminuting animal muscle tissue to form comminuted animal muscle tissue, B) mixing said comminuted animal muscle tissue with a food grade acid composition to solubilize animal muscle protein thereby forming an aqueous acidic solution of animal muscle protein; C) then mixing said aqueous acidic solution of step B) with a food grade alkaline composition to form an aqueous suspension of animal muscle protein particulates; D) then adding salt to the aqueous suspension of step C) to form a salted aqueous suspension of animal muscle protein; and E) then comminuting said salted aqueous suspension of step D) of animal muscle protein to form the injectable salted aqueous suspension of functional animal muscle tissue protein composition including sarcoplasmic proteins and myofibrillar proteins; whereby said injectable salted aqueous suspension is flowable through the at least one injection pathway during an injection procedure without blocking the at least one injection pathway.
