In a process for producing extruded foods from a starch carrier and water as the basic mass and at least one flavor-determining component, in which the individual components are mixed and extruded by means of a screw arrangement in a casing with an extrusion nozzle, in order to ensure a complete continuity of the process and to permit the process of components with a very high water content, the starch carrier and the flavor-determining component are successively supplied to the screw arrangement in the feed direction, the components being mixed in the screw arrangement. For performing this process, an apparatus is provided, which comprises a screw arrangement in a casing with an extrusion nozzle and product feed devices which are successively arranged in the feed direction and which comprises a feed device for a starch carrier and a feed device for a flavor-determining component.

Processes and appparatus for producing extruded foods

In a process for preparing caseinates comprising the introduction of a mixture of casein, lyes and/or basic salts and water into a baking extruding device, in order to achieve a uniform product flow discharge and an end product with good water solubility, following on from a product feed zone of the baking extruding device, the mixture is supplied to a plasticizing zone with return elements and accompanied by pressure and temperature increases, and then to a discharge zone, it being expanded after discharge from the nozzle.
