Zusammenfassung:Methods of producing fungi-based textured protein food products are described, the methods generally including providing a fungi-based protein source, mixing the fungi-based protein source with other ingredients (including secondary protein sources) to form a blend, and extruding the blend. The method may include performing the extrusion using operating parameters that result in denaturing the secondary proteins while leaving fungal fibers of the fungi-based proteins intact. Fungi-based textured protein food products are also described, the fungi-based textured protein food products including intact fungal fibers aligned with networks of denatured non-fungal protein formed about and around the fungal fibers.
