The form is puffed either at the die of the extruder, or in subsequent hot oil frying, or both. With added flavoring, the puffed composition has the taste, texture and mouth feel of fried pork skins. The process accommodates a wide variety of animal parts without the necessity of substantial changes in the process parameters.Field of SearchCereal material is basic ingredientAnimal derived material is an ingredient other than extract or protein Preparing or treating triglyceridic fat or oil, or processes of separating triglyceridic fat or oil from a starting material, e.g., rendering, etc. STARCH BASE SNACK PRODUCT Carbohydrate is starch To puff or form pore From extrusion zone using mechanical pressure And subsequent heat treatment of dehydration Extruding through restricted orifice to give desired final shape Of animal flesh Heat treatment of food material by contact with glyceridic fat or oil, e.g., potato chip frying, etc. Size increase by puffing, or pore forming of solid material by heating | |
