  • Publication number: 20250185698
    Abstract: A meat-containing puffed pellet, a meat-containing puffed food prepared therefrom, and a preparation method for such are described. The method includes feeding meat into a meat grinder and sequentially passing the meat through a first orifice plate, a double-sided reamer, and a second orifice plate of the meat grinder to obtain minced meat. Thereafter, the minced meat may be fed to an emulsification apparatus for emulsification to obtain emulsified meat, which may then be mixed with grain to form a mixture. The mixture may be feed into an extrusion apparatus for extrusion to obtain meat-containing puffed pellet. The prepared puffed pellet has a high meat content (for example, 42 wt. % or more), uniform distribution, and a loose texture, and it is suitable for subsequent pressure-molding to prepare the puffed food with high meat content and crispy texture.

  • Patent number: 10759708
    Abstract: Provided is a high-light transmittance zirconia sintered body, prepared by processing and forming a material for the high-light transmittance zirconia sintered body, and then performing high-temperature sintering in the atmosphere under normal pressure. The material for a high-light transmittance zirconia sintered body is prepared from zirconia powder and ?-aluminum oxide as raw materials, wherein the molar percentage of yttrium oxide in the zirconia powder is 4-6%. The high-light transmittance zirconia sintered body can be used for preparing a fixed dental prosthesis. The zirconia sintered body has a grain size of 0.1-0.7 ?m, and due to the dispersion and toughening by aluminum oxide, the zirconia sintered body has a higher strength and toughness. Pores in the zirconia powder can be eliminated by adding aluminum oxide. The zirconia sintered body has a higher light transmittance, and the prepared dentures are good in texture, good in jade-like appearance, and closer to the human teeth.
