An apparatus and associated method for varying the color and/or flavor of an extruded food product during a single production run of a single extrusion device. The apparatus includes a mufti-additive injection system, which is attached to a fluid supply line of an extrusion device. The injection system is comprised of a plurality of additive supply tanks, which are each in fluid communication with the fluid supply line via an injection manifold, and a metering mechanism which selectively controls the amount of additive injected into the supply line by each individual supply tank. The injection system may also include a central control mechanism for calibrating the amount of additive injected into the supply line and for maintaining a constant fluid volume added to the extrusion device. Each of the additive supply tanks may contain a different colorant and/or flavoring. Two variants of the injection manifold are provided as well as a novel injection sequence for use with the disclosed system.

L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé connexe, permettant de varier la couleur et/ou le goût d'un produit alimentaire extrudé au cours d'un seul cycle de production d'une seule extrudeuse. Cet appareil comprend un système d'injection d'additifs multiples qui est relié à la ligne d'alimentation en fluide d'une extrudeuse. Ce système d'injection se compose d'une pluralité de réservoirs d'additifs qui sont chacun en communication fluidique avec la ligne d'alimentation en fluide, par l'intermédiaire d'une rampe d'injection. Et un mécanisme de mesure qui régule sélectivement la dose d'additif injectée dans la ligne d'alimentation à partir de chaque réservoir individuel. Le système d'injection peut en outre comprendre un mécanisme de commande central permettant de graduer la dose d'additif injectée dans la ligne d'alimentation et de maintenir le volume de fluide ajouté à l'extrudeuse à un niveau constant. Chaque réservoir d'additif peut contenir un colorant et/ou un arôme différent. Deux versions de cette rampe d'injection sont décrites ainsi qu'une nouvelle séquence d'injection destinée au système décrit.
