Abstract
The present invention provides an apparatus for texturizing protein products; the apparatus includes a screw conveyor through which a protein dough containing a heat coagulable protein is passed with the conveyor having an internal conveying section changing in configuration such that the dough is stretched during passage through the conveyor, while being heated to a temperature above the heat coagulation temperature of the protein to provide a meat-like fiber structure wherein the fibers are aligned.
