摘要:
A process for coating food products (1) comprises arranging a succession of food products, spaced apart from each other, on a first support surface (2). A covering layer of a viscous coating material (3) is applied to the food products (1) and to the first support surface (2) so that the coating material adheres to each food product and contacts the first support surface at least over a region surrounding the food product. A layer of viscous coating material (3) is applied to a second support surface (12) and food products (1) together with the coating material adhering to them are removed from the first support surface (2) and placed on the second support surface. The coating material (3) on the second support surface (12) adheres to the partially coated food products (1) and, where it meets them, unites with the coating material applied to the food products when they were on the first support surface (2), so that each food product is enrobed in the coating material.

摘要:
A method of making a textured food product, comprises introducing gluten and water into a twin-screw conveyor (1), mixing the gluten and the water to form a dough whilst at the same time conveying the material towards and through an extrusion outlet, and ensuring that the material reaches a temperature at which it melts and, subsequently, cooling the material before it exits from the extrusion outlet. The product may be used, if appropriate after hydration, as a meat analogue suitable for consumption by vegetarians, or as a meat extender.
