Abstract

Abstract A process for producing a food product having portions simulating in color the appearance of lean meat and other portions simulating in color the appearance of fat, comprising the steps of compounding together, with heating sufficient at least to pasteurize, a first portion of food components incorporating a material imparting to the first portion a color simulating that of lean meat; compounding together, with heating sufficient at least to pasteurize, a second portion of food components incorporating a material imparting to the second portion a color simulating that of fat, at least one of said portions containing protein, thereafter cooling the said portions so as to establish, between the cooled portions, a temperature difference of 5-25 DEG C.; and commingling the differentially-temperatured portions at a temperature below about 50 DEG C., whereby the colored portions are cohesive one to the other without excessive deleterious bleeding therebetween.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 144 words
A process for producing a food product having portions simulating in colour the appearance of lean meat and other portions simulating in colour the appearance of fat, comprising the steps of compounding together, with heating sufficient at least to pasteurize, a first portion of food components incorporating a material imparting to the first portion a colour simulating that of lean meat; compounding together, with heating sufficient at least to pasteurize, a second portion of food components incorporating a material imparting to the second portion a colour simulating that of fat, at least one of said portions containing protein, thereafter cooling the said portions so as to establish, between the cooled portions, a temperature difference of 5°-25° C.; and commingling the differentially-temperatured portions at a temperature below about 50° C., whereby the coloured portions are cohesive one to the other without excessive deleterious bleeding therebetween.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 144 words
A process for producing a food product having portions simulating in colour the appearance of lean meat and other portions simulating in colour the appearance of fat, comprising the steps of compounding together, with heating sufficient at least to pasteurize, a first portion of food components incorporating a material imparting to the first portion a colour simulating that of lean meat; compounding together, with heating sufficient at least to pasteurize, a second portion of food components incorporating a material imparting to the second portion a colour simulating that of fat, at least one of said portions containing protein, thereafter cooling the said portions so as to establish, between the cooled portions, a temperature difference of 5°-25° C.; and commingling the differentially-temperatured portions at a temperature below about 50° C., whereby the coloured portions are cohesive one to the other without excessive deleterious bleeding therebetween.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 28 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the blending of the differentially-temperatured portions is carried out at a temperature differential within the range 10° to 20° C.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 37 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the meat simulating portions is cooled to a blending temperature of 40°-45° C., and the fat simulating portion is cooled to a blending temperature with the range 30°-35° C.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 26 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein both portions are comprised of proteinaceous materials of meat or vegetable origin, carbohydrates, humectants and non-toxic colouring materials.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 27 words
A process as claimed in claim 4, wherein both portions also contain ingredients selected from protein supplements, anti-mycotic agents, texturisers, emulsifiers, anti-oxidants, binders, flavouring, and nutritional supplements.
