A frozen product of minced fish meat frozen into granules includes: 90 wt % or more of meat granules having a substantially columnar shape with a 3 mm to 7 mm diameter; and 10 wt % or less of meat granules with a short diameter of 2 mm or less. A method of producing the minced fish meat frozen into granules includes: raising the temperature of fish meat which has been frozen at 20 C. or less to a temperature of from 10 C. to 5 C.; mincing the fish meat while maintaining the temperature of the fish meat at 10 C. to 5 C. by using a meat mincer having a feed screw, a plate, and a plate knife at a rotation speed of 200 rpm or less; lowering the temperature of minced fish meat to 20 C. or less; and crushing the minced fish meat frozen at 20 C. or less into granules.

A tribo-electro static separation process and system for the preparation of various food and feed products. A tribo-electric separation process and system for fractionating a feed mixture comprising at least two members of the group of proteins, starches, soluble and insoluble fibers. Namely, supplying a feed mixture comprising at least two of the group of proteins, starches, soluble and insoluble fibers to a tribo-electric separator and simultaneously charging and separating the feed mixture into at least two subfractions, with one of the subfractions enriched in one of protein, starch and fiber and having a composition different than the feed mixture.

A dried fish flake machine may be used with one hand, in which a shaving blade can be easily replaced, cleaned, and the like, and which can shave an edible shaving object such as dried bonito into a strip shape, a powder form, or the like. A dried fish flake machine includes a tubular case that is able to store an edible shaving object S having a rod shape; a shaving blade portion that is provided at a distal end of the tubular case, abuts a distal end of the edible shaving object, and is able to shave the edible shaving object; a rotary drive mechanism that is provided inside the tubular case and is able to relatively rotate the edible shaving object stored in the tubular case with respect to the shaving blade portion. The shaving blade portion is provided at the distal end of the tubular case in an attachable/detachable manner.

According to the present invention, a method for recovering useful fish meat proteins from waste water generated during fish paste or fishmeal production is provided. The provided is a method for recovering water-soluble proteins from fish paste leaching waste water or stick water, comprising: adjusting the pH of fish paste leaching waste water or stick water to 4.5-5.5 to insolubilize water-soluble proteins; heating the insolubilized proteins to 30 C. to 90 C. to cause the proteins to flocculate so as to form flocs; subjecting the flocs to solid-liquid separation using a decanter centrifuge during heating; and recovering proteins in the form of solid content.
