Optimizing high-moisture meat analogue textures through Artificial Intelligence: The effect of sorbitol in soy protein concentrate blends

This study explored the effects of sorbitol on the textural properties of soy protein concentrate-based high-moisture meat analogues (SPC-HMMA) using a novel approach that combines artificial intelligence (AI) and genetic algorithms (GA) to replicate the textures of chicken and beef, aiming to devel...

This method allows for the simultaneous adjustment of multiple parameters, effectively capturing the complex non-linear interactions between ingredients and processing conditions during extrusion.

Texture profile analysis (TPA) revealed that hardness values decreased from 3893 ± 308 g at 0% sorbitol to 421 ± 54 g at 20% sorbitol while cutting strength values ranged from 5951 ± 544 g crosswise at 0% sorbitol to 1754 ± 134 g at 20% sorbitol.
