Abstract
A method of making a new food product which comprises carboxymethylcellulose, a gelling binder, food particles and typically other batter-like ingredients. The method comprises mixing carboxymethylcellulose, a gelling binder and the batter-like ingredients to form a food matrix, which is admixed with food particles and water to form a food mash. This food mash is extruded into a desirous shape and is contacted with an aluminum solution. Further processing the food product can be done by battering, or breading and the like. The food product does not have a gel-like coating encasing it, so it has very appealing textural characteristics. Additional advantages are that carboxymethylcellulose is readily available, is not temperature sensitive and is not expensive.
