Abstract: The articles are made by mixing an animal protein product of meat, from which the fat has been removed by extraction with a gas in liquid or overcritical state, and starchy grain or vegetable material, plus other additives if necessary, into a mixture of semifluid to pasty consistency. The mixture obtained is extruded, with the addition of water, to form a substantially plastically workable material which is put into the desired shape by means of injection molding. The method may be used for making articles such as disposable tableware and cutlery for households and the catering trade, packaging, or casings.
