Abstract
Preparation of a puffed textured, proteinaceous food product involving subjecting water-moistened proteinaceous material to pressure and heat sufficient to cause the mix to convert to a hot, moist, plastic, extrudable, translucent to glassy mass and extruding the mass through and from a length of an elongated die under non-puffing conditions to provide a moisture-containing, translucent to glassy extrudate, and, as a separate and distinct operation, thereafter puffing the translucent to glassy product in a moist state by subjecting it to water-boiling puffing conditions.
