Patent

CA 2168960

Highly palatable, shelf-stable, moist, pasta-type extruded food products are provided which can be formulated as a human food (e.g., a confection) or as a pet food. The extruded products of the invention include a substantially completely gelatinized matrix including therein from about 35-70 % by weight starch dry basis, together with quantities of protein and sugar. The extruded products should have a moisture content of from about 15-30 % by weight, and a water activity of from about 0.6-0.9. The products are made by forming a mixture of ingredients followed by preconditioning, extrusion and drying and/or cooling to achieve the final desired moisture.

On décrit des produits alimentaires extrudés du type pâte, humides, à conservation stable et saveur très agréable, que l'on peut présenter sous forme d'aliment destiné à la consommation humaine (une confiserie par example) ou animale. Les produits extrudés inventés comportent une matrice presque complètement gélatinisée qui contient environ 35 à 70 % en poids sec d'amidon ainsi qu'une certaine quantité de protéines et de sucre. Ces produits extrudés devraient présenter une teneur en humidité allant de 15 à 30 % environ en poids et une activité de l'eau allant de 0,6 à 0,9 environ. On obtient ces produits en formant un mélange d'ingrédients suivi d'un pré-conditionnement, d'une extrusion et d'un séchage et/ou refroidissement pour obtenir le taux d'humidité final souhaité.
