This study evaluated the effects of red yeast rice powder (RYRP), added as a natural colorant at 0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, and 7%, on the color, structure, and antioxidant properties of high\u2010moisture textured vegetable protein (HMTVP).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n \n Red yeast rice powder significantly improved the meat\u2010like color of HMTVP, with 5% addition exhibiting color characteristics closer to those of fresh beef tenderloin, particularly in terms of redness (\n a<\/jats:italic>\n *). The color remained relatively stable during heating at 60\u2009\u00b0C and under dark frozen storage. Structural analysis showed that low addition levels (1%) led to a looser protein structure and reduced the degree of texturization. Conversely, higher addition levels (3%) promoted the transformation of the fibrous structure from disordered to compact and ordered by enhancing intermolecular interactions, and also affected water distribution. Red yeast rice powder also increased the\n in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n antioxidant activity of HMTVP in a dose\u2010dependent manner.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n \n Red yeast rice powder can effectively improve the color, structural properties, and\n in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n antioxidant activity of HMTVP. These findings indicate the potential of this natural colorant for improving the color and overall quality attributes of plant\u2010based meat products. \u00a9 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.\n
