The protein was mixed with binders such as potato starch, oil, salt and other flavours so that it resembled the taste and texture of a burger.

这种蛋白质可以与马铃薯淀粉、油、盐和其他口味的粘合剂混合在一起,使其味道和质地与汉堡类似。

Paleo’s patent claims the myoglobin causes a range of chemical reactions between other ingredients in the burger, producing flavours that are obtainable in no other way.

“原始”公司的专利部声称,肌红蛋白会引起汉堡中其他成分之间的一系列化学反应,产生其他方式无法获得的风味。

Mr Sanctorum, for his part, says mammoth burgers taste “more intense” than beef.

The stuff was eventually turned into gelatine for gummy sweets.
