Abstract
A fibrous food product is produced by the steps of: adding salt to fish and/or animal meat; kneading the resulting mixture to prepare a paste; and extruding the paste into an aqueous solution of a protein modifier through a nozzle having fine orifices to produce filaments. By varying the conditions of this process, the food filaments of various textures or mouth feeling can be produced. Further, the filaments can be aggregated in a variety of ways to further increase the variety of textures or mouth feeling and to produce various muscle-like fibrous food products.
