    Abstract: The present disclosure provides method for producing alternative food product, preferably alternative whole muscle cut meat product; and such food product. The method involves (a) providing a plurality of elongate texturized vegetable protein (TVP) strands; (b) forming a first monolayer of essentially parallelly aligned elongate TVP strands; and (c) forming at least one additional monolayer of essentially parallelly aligned elongate TVP strands, each additional monolayer formed over a previously formed monolayer; wherein a rehydrated sample of TVP extrudate from which said plurality of TVP strands are formed, has a crossover modulus of at least 2.5 KPa as determined, at 25°C, in an Amplitude Sweep mode, from 3.10-2% to 3.103%, at a constant frequency of 10 rad/s and a constant axial force of 25 N. The product disclosed herein comprises a plurality of stacked TVP containing monolayers, each monolayer comprising elongate strands aligned in a common nominal direction one with respect to another in said monolayer, wherein upon shearing said product, for about 30 seconds, using a dough blade, the product disintegrates and provides discrete elongate TVP strands having a longitudinal dimension and a thickness dimension, the longitudinal dimension being greater than the thickness dimension; and wherein said product has a nominal dimension in said nominal direction, and the longitudinal dimension of a majority of the discrete elongate TVP strands is generally same as said nominal dimension.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system (100) and method for fabrication of a three-dimensional edible product having two or more edible components. The system comprises a processor configured to receive an edible product design having pattern coordinates, and to provide pattern address signals, a printing mechanism (120) having a printing head (150) with two or more sets of a plurality of discrete applicators, each one of the two or more sets is configured to receive and dispense a different edible component, each of said discrete applicators being configured to receive and selectively dispense, its corresponding edible component onto a printing support bed (200) in accordance with said pattern address signals, and a driving mechanism (250) configurable to control the position of said printing head with respect to a printing support bed. The method comprises: providing a printing support bed by which said edible product is supported while being fabricated, providing a printing mechanism having a printing head with two or more sets of a plurality of discrete applicators where each one of the two or more sets is configured to receive and dispense a different edible component, dispensing, a plurality of strands of two or more different edible compositions provided to said printing mechanism onto said printing support bed, each strand being dispensed by a different set of the two or more sets in accordance with the pattern address signals, so as to form a product layer; and operating a driving mechanism in accordance with said pattern address signals for controlling the position of said printing head with respect to said printing support bed so as to fabricate said product by depositing successive product layers on top of each other.
