Researchers created a plant-based meat substitute using soy protein and Lion’s Mane mushroom powder processed through extrusion. Adding 20% mushroom powder created the best texture, making it more similar to real meat with visible fibers. The mushroom also improved the flavor, adding mushroom-like aromas and making the product brown better during cooking. This discovery could help make better-tasting plant-based meat alternatives for consumers.
