Abstract

A plant-based sausage analogue is prepared by mixing a plant protein sausage meat analogue dough with a vegan fat analogue particle product to form a sausage analogue dough composition, dispensing the sausage analogue dough composition into a casing and cooking to an internal temperature of at least about 180° F. to form a cooked sausage analogue. The vegan fat analogue particle product can be prepared by mixing hydrated plant protein with i) tapioca and/or cassava starch, ii) carrageenan, and iii) konjac. That intermediate composition is mixed with a fat composition to form a paste composition, wherein at least about 33% of the fat composition comprises an oil having a saturated fat content of at least 30%. The paste composition is cooked and the cooked vegan fat is reduced to particles wherein at least 90% of the particles have a maximum dimension between about 2.5 mm and about 10 mm.
