Abstract
A gelled sheet of food product is prepared by passing a wet dough of edible substance, such as meat or meat by-product, having food value and comprising a gellable substance, such as sodium alginate, onto a rotating roller to form a sheet and initiating gelation of the gellable material, for example, in the case of sodium alginate, by spraying the material with calcium ions. The sheet can subsequently be processed, for example by being folded and cut to form chunks, which may be useful in a petfood product.
