  • Patent number: 5759603
    Abstract: Disclosed is a food product having at least one distinct phase and a process and apparatus for producing such a product wherein a blend of ingredients, having a moisture content, is extruded in separate streams, and a coloring, flavoring or texturizing agent is added to the extruded streams at a pre-determined point. The streams are re-combined and then passed through a static mixer which produces minimal mixing while allowing a smooth separation and a proper flow into a die insert such as a shaping die.
