The process of making fake meat is not as easy as it sounds. The soy protein arrives at the expert manufacturer in the form of dry powders. Since the protein is coiled and globular, and while the meat that we are used to everyday are fibrous, the process for the fake meat manufacturer would then be to change the proteins to make the finished product more like meat. After this, they denature the molecules so that they would open up and become more fibrous.

In the country, a more popular means of producing fake meat is trough the process of transforming wheat gluten. Wheat has far less protein than soy protein, but the stretchy nature and texture of wheat products are more easily transformed and shaped into the chewiness of meat that we are used to.
