Abstract
A process for producing a meat analogue from a starting material having a high protein content comprises injecting the starting material into a mold against a substantially constant back pressure which is provided by a pressurized piston. The starting material is supplied to the mold under continuous high temperature and high pressure, for example, by an extruder, such as a single screw extruder or a twin screw extruder.
