Abstract
A process for manufacturing textured meat and fish products includes comminuting muscle flesh to subcellular particle sizes, mixing the comminuted muscle flesh with a texturing agent and texture regulator, freezing the mixture, heating the mixture to pasteurize or sterilize it, crimping the mixture to form a crinkled sheet of dough, folding the crinkled sheet of dough into laminated layers and freezing the folded laminated layers along a predetermined direction to form a desired fibrous structure. The texturing agent is a polyanionic complexing agent, preferably a pectin having a particular degree of esterification, and the texture regulator is one or a mixture of protein-rich products, starch-rich products, fats, and salts of polyvalent cations. The apparatus for implementing the process includes a rolling system of a plurality of cylinders for forming the sheet of dough, a rotating drum for thermally treating the sheet of dough, an immersion bath for chemically treating the sheet of dough, and a folding mechanism for folding the sheet of dough into a plurality of laminated layers.
