The method and apparatus of the invention for the continuous roasting of food materials are such that the food material being fed into a heated tubular cylinder is mixed up within and transferred through said tubular cylinder while the vaporized components of the food material are recovered and cooled to liquefy. The apparatus may comprise the horizontally placed tabular cylinder with an open front end, the coil screw inserted into the tubular cylinder in such a way that it can be driven to rotate, and the cooling unit that is connected to a vent port formed in the middle part of the tubular cylinder.

A process for producing an edible proteinaceous film entails kneading and melting a raw material containing water and protein with heating by an extruder, extruding the melted material through a die in an extruder to form a tubular extrudate, providing a gas at a pressure above atmospheric pressure to the interior of the tubular extrudate while exhausting the gas, and holding and receiving the tubular extrudate with a take-off means. An apparatus for use with the method affords edible films. The apparatus and process are particularly advantageous for forming edible films from various sources of soybean protein.
