PROCESS OF MANUFACTURING EDIBLE MICROEXTRUDED PRODUCT COMPRISING PROTEIN,COMPOSITION THEREBY OBTAINED AND THE USE THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240041067 titled 'PROCESS OF MANUFACTURING EDIBLE MICROEXTRUDED PRODUCT COMPRISING PROTEIN,COMPOSITION THEREBY OBTAINED AND THE USE THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The invention is about edible microextruded products that have mechanical properties similar to meat. These edible products consist of multiple layers of microextruded elements made of a viscoelastic composition. The viscoelastic composition includes a high amount of protein and an edible pseudoplastic polymer dissolved in an appropriate edible solvent. The invention also discloses specific processes, including a 3D printing method, for producing these edible microextruded products. The patent application lists various uses for these edible products, such as meat-replacers. Additionally, the invention introduces new edible viscoelastic compositions that combine proteins and pseudoplastic polymers.
