    摘要: The invention relates to a process of preparing a savoury concentrate in the form of a shaped article, said process comprising the following sequence of processing steps: a) preparing a premix having a moisture content of 0.5-12 wt. % by: providing a powder mix of one or more particulate ingredients, including 5-100% by weight of the powder mix of particulate native starch; agglomerating the powder mix to produce starch-containing granules by heating the powder mix to a temperature that is 3 to 20 ° C. below the gelatinization temperature of the particulate native starch, followed by wet agglomeration of the hot powder mix with an aqueous liquid; and optionally combining the granules with one or more other edible ingredients; said premix containing, calculated by weight of dry matter: 5-30 wt. % of starch-containing granules having a diameter of 0.15-2.5 mm and comprising 20-100 wt. % starch; 10-76 wt. % of salt selected from sodium chloride, potassium chloride, monosodium glutamate and combinations thereof; 0-60 wt. % of one or more particulate edible ingredients selected from sugars, spices, herbs and vegetables; b) mixing the premix with molten fat to produce slurry; and c) shaping the slurry into a shaped article. The process of the present invention enables the manufacture of shaped savoury concentrates that have improved crumbability.
