Abstract: The invention relates to a profile extrusion process for producing fashioned animal food, especially dog chew bones, the process comprising the following steps: loading an extruder with casein, a plasticizer and with additives; preparing a plasticized casein compound containing 10 to 80% casein by weight, wherein the casein and the plasticizer are subject to a mechanical strain at a temperature below 130° C. in the extruder; molding the casein compound into a profile, wherein the casein compound is pressed through the extruder nozzle onto a transfer device and is consolidated on said transfer device; curing the profile, wherein the profile is cooled on the transfer device; portioning the profile into portions of any length, wherein the profile is cut at a corresponding position using a cutting tool.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an animal protein- and/or soy protein-containing foam. Since the methods known from the prior art merely use protein as an additive, the invention proposes producing a protein foam in that a homogeneous polymer based on an animal protein and/or soy protein is foamed to form a foam by means of mechanical stress or by the addition of a catalyst or a gas.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to milk protein nanoparticles produced according to a polymerization method in which at least one protein, which is obtained from milk and which can be thermally plasticized, is plasticized using a plasticizing agent, such as for example, water or glycerol at temperatures between room temperature and 140° C., subjected to mechanical stress and subsequently retreated, for example, in the top down or bottom up method to form nanoparticles.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a milk protein based plastic material produced according to a plastic material shaping method, known by a person skilled in the art and the literature, in which at least one protein, which is obtained from milk and which can be thermally plasticized, is plasticized using a plasticizing agent, such as for example water or glycerol at temperatures of between room temperature and 140° C., subjected to mechanical stress and subsequently retreated according to a production method, known to person skilled in the art and literature, to form moulded bodies.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to milk protein micro and super-micro fibres (MPM) and polymer nano fibres (MPN) produced according to a spinning method, in which at least one protein, which is obtained from milk and which can be thermally plasticized, is plasticized using a plasticizing agent, such as for example, water or glycerol at temperatures between room temperature and 140° C. by means of mechanical stress in a spinning system and is spun using a spinneret to obtain the MPN- and MPM fibres.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a milk protein hydrol gel, in which at least one protein which is obtained from milk and which can be thermally plasticized, is plasticized using a plasticizing agent, such as for example, water or glycerol at temperatures between room temperature and preferably up to 140° C. by means of mechanical stress and subsequently retreated according to a continuous or discontinuous process to form hydrogels.

Abstract: Milk protein fibers are produced by an extrusion process for the textile industry inter alia, in which at least one thermoplasticizable protein obtained from milk is plasticized with a plasticizer, for example water or glycerol, at temperatures between room temperature and 140° C., under mechanical stress and spun to fibers by means of a jet.
