Abstract
Fibrous proteinaceous material useful in the formation of shrimp or crabmeat analog products is prepared by extruding an aqueous solution containing both protein and alginate into a series of two gelling baths, in the first of which gelling baths a high gelling agent cation concentration is maintained which is adapted to readily form a stable surface film on the extrudate, and in the second of such gelling baths, a gelling agent cation concentration lower than that employed in the first gelling bath is employed and for a time sufficient to permit diffusion of the gelling agent cation throughout the extrudate, and recovering, freezing and thawing the extrudate.
