Abstract

A high-throughput continuous extrusion process for the manufacture of a textured protein foodstuff having organoleptic qualities comparable to cooked muscle meat using an extrusion cooker having a heated extruded barrel and a feed port configured such that dry proteinaceous materials and water enter in the same position relative to the length extruder barrel and in a position offset from the centreline as to be moved immediately downstream of the water entry position by the screws of the extrusion cooker. The feed port having a feed end and adapted to receive the dry proteinaceous materials at a point distant from the centre of the heated extruder barrel that is 0.3 times its distance from the feed end of the feed port and to receive water at a point distant from the centre of the heated extruder barrel that is 0.4 times its distance from the feed end of the feed port.

Abstract

A device for performing size-reduction on an extruded proteinaceous foodstuff, said device including at least a first and a second adjacently mounted shredding roller, said rollers adapted to be co-rotating, said rollers having complementary surfaces adapted to compress and shear said foodstuff as it passes therebetween; wherein the second roller is rotated at a speed equal to or greater than the speed of the first roller.
