  • Patent number: 6440473
    Abstract: A composite consumable food product in the form of a section of an extruded strand of a first foodstuff impregnated into a second foodstuff. Prior to extrusion of the strand in a twin screw extruder, the first foodstuff is a liquid or a pasty consumable substance, such as a syrup, while the second foodstuff is a plasticized consumable substance, such as a cereal base. The first and second foodstuffs are preferably processed in separate sections of the extruder before a taste or flavor perceptible amount of the first foodstuff is introduced into and uniformly mixed with the second foodstuff prior to extrusion through a die. The resultant extruded strand is typically cut into sections to obtain the final product.

  • Patent number: 6268007
    Abstract: A process for manufacturing a composite consumable product by double extrusion, wherein a liquid or pasty consumable substance is prepared in a first section of a twin-screw extruder, a plasticizable consumable substance is cooked-extruded in a second section of the twin-screw extruder, wherein the first and second sections are separated dynamically, to provide at least one strand of a cooked-extruded mass that is cut into pieces. The liquid or pasty consumable substance is added to the cooked-extruded mass to provide pieces of a composite consumable product.
