Abstract:
A method and apparatus for producing a restructured food product from small forms thereof, by comminuting such small forms to provide a fluent paste, injecting the paste under high pressure into mold cavities where the paste is rapidly heated while it is confined within the mold cavity and maintained at an elevated pressure, whereby a restructured food product is formed which has generally the same characteristics and qualities of the original food product and which retains the organoleptic properties of the original products that are frequently lost in conventional food processing methods.
