Method for producing an animal feed or foodstuff and a product obtained by that method

Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of animal feed or food comprising the steps of: (i) providing at least a first stream, preferably comprising a meat and / or fish emulsion, (ii) preparing a stream comprising at least one A viscous gel of a gel-forming component and a liquid, especially water: the gel-forming component and the liquid are introduced into a mixing chamber, the liquid is introduced under high pressure through a first nozzle unit into the mixing chamber The gel-forming component of (iii) providing the viscous gel obtained in step (ii) as or in at least one second material stream, (iv) such that in the first material stream The second stream of material is laminarly dispersed in the device for at least partially mixing the first and second streams of material incompletely, so that the second stream of material is liquid with a size of at least 0.3mm, preferably 0.3mm to 8mm (v) withdrawing the first stream containing the second stream in the form of droplets through the second nozzle unit, and (vi) solidifying the first stream containing the second stream in the form of droplets A material stream and relating to animal feed or food that can be prepared by the method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for the manufacture of animal feed or food and to the products obtained by this method. Background technique [0002] In the animal feed and food industry, a problem which arises in various ways is how to prepare simply and efficiently products which have in particular the appearance of natural or raw meat fillets or fish fillets, but which are made from smaller meat and fish offcuts or meat Preparation of fish-like or fish-like components, especially components with only low meat content but high content of fat and other components. [0003] In this regard, products prepared using meat emulsions or fish emulsions are well known. [0004] Meat emulsions have long been used on a large scale in the animal feed and food industry, especially in the field of pet food. In this case, it is necessary to use the largest possible proportion of meat raw materials, optionally in combination with vegetable proteins, since these m...

[0008] In this case, however, it is known that the use of viscous gels prepared in this way leads to the introduction of air bubbles in the respective material streams and in the finished product (i.e. animal feed or food)
