The present invention comprises an improved extruder die assembly and method for using same to impart a distinct colored and/or flavored pattern into an extrudable food mass during the extrusion process. The extruder die assembly includes a forming section (1200) and an injection section (1300) for imparting the distinct colored and/or flavored pattern into an extrudable food mass. The resulting food mass is compressed through a converging nozzle bore in the nozzle section (1400) to produce an extruded food product. The converging nozzle section may also include axially aligned ridgelines (1420a, 1420b) which gradually project into the bore of the nozzle as the nozzle converges to gradually disrupt the axial flow of an extrudate at specific peripheral points thereby altering the extrudate's velocity profile, which improves the quality of dimensional design aspects of the resulting extruded, complexly shaped, direct expanded food products.

La présente invention concerne un ensemble tête d'extrudeuse amélioré et une méthode d'utilisation de cet ensemble permettant de créer un motif coloré et/ou parfumé distinct dans une masse alimentaire extrudable pendant le processus d'extrusion. L'ensemble tête d'extrudeuse comprend une partie formage (1200) et une partie injection (1300) servant à créer un motif coloré et/ou parfumé distinct dans une masse alimentaire extrudable. La masse alimentaire ainsi obtenue est comprimée au moyen d'une buse convergente dans la partie buse (1400) et produit un produit alimentaire extrudé. La partie buse convergente comprend des cannelures orientées axialement (1420a, 1420b)qui pénètrent progressivement dans l'alésage de la buse au fur et à mesure que cette dernière se rétrécit, ce qui interrompt graduellement le flux axial de l'extrudat en des points périphériques spécifiques et en modifie le profil de vitesse. Il en résulte une amélioration qualitative des aspects dimensionnels des produits à expansion directe extrudés de forme complexe.
