Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9636242A1] A method of making a textured food product, comprises introducing gluten and water into a twin-screw conveyor (1), mixing the gluten and the water to form a dough whilst at the same time conveying the material towards and through an extrusion outlet, and ensuring that the material reaches a temperature at which it melts and, subsequently, cooling the material before it exits from the extrusion outlet. The product may be used, if appropriate after hydration, as a meat analogue suitable for consumption by vegetarians, or as a meat extender.
