Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for treating elongate food products in a process space using a conditioned airflow, comprising: a housing bounding the process space, with a feed opening arranged in the housing and a discharge opening arranged in the housing for respectively carrying elongate food products into the process space and discharging thereof from the process space, transport means for displacing the elongate food products through the process space, blowing means for generating an airflow in the process space, and conditioning means for conditioning the airflow.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing co-extruded food products, comprising the processing steps of: A) co-extruding an elongate dough strand and a casing enclosing the elongate dough strand to form a non-coagulated food product, B) bringing the casing into contact with a salt solution, and C) dividing the encased elongate food strand into individual products, whereafter the co-extruded food products are subjected to an airflow. The invention also relates to a device for manufacturing co-extruded food products.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparing food products by co-extrusion, comprising of producing the food product from a filler mass and a casing mass which is liquid prior to the co-extrusion, wherein the casing mass comprises at least collagen and alginate. The invention also relates to a food product obtained by co-extrusion, comprising a meat mass and a casing, wherein the casing comprises at least collagen and alginate.
