  • Patent number: 5827561
    Abstract: In a process for producing a food product based on meat, animal proteins or vegetable protein, an emulsion is prepared from base components by first comminuting and emulsifying the base components. In the next processing step, the emulsion is loaded into a stuffing device, from which the emulsion then exits in the form of a single strand or numerous parallel strands. In a further step, the strands of the emulsion are cooked. The cooked strands of the emulsion are then cut by a cutting device into shorter strips, preferably having a length of a few centimeters, and the strips are subsequently deep-frozen and then packaged.
