Abstract

The present invention provides methods and products made thereby, wherein a reactive starch constituent, including an edible constituent, is thermally treated to react it, preferably in a dynamic process environment, to produce products ranging from high to quite low densities and from very strong to soft to apparently dry textures. The wide range of textures enables the provision of food products such as low calorie, digestible and safe, long duration pet food chews. Cooking is preferably carried in an extruder, preferably at low moisture or in the total absence of added water. The methods of dynamic cooking reduce cost in a number of ways including but not limited to decreased process steps, increased throughput, decreased capital expenses and decreased raw product cost. The present invention provides an edible composition that is produced using pre-activated particles, mixing them with solvents providing bonds, inputting energy into the mixture via an extrusion process, which results in a firm cohesive material.

Description

Background of the invention

[0001] The present invention generally relates to an edible composition having high structural integrity. The composition may include processed materials and foods. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method of providing a digestible cohesive product with a controlled texture, and the product so obtained.

[0002] There are many methods of preparing food and biodegradable polymers. For food, these methods can generally be classified as static (stationary) or dynamic methods. Static methods may be defined as those in which the ingredient batch is placed in a cooking vessel and held stationary or without movement while cooking (eg, during an oven roasting process, pressure forming, or roasting). These methods include those in which the batch is moved on a conveyor through a cooking device, such as a torrefaction tunnel. wherein the components remain stationary relative to the surface on which they are transported or the container...
