A food extrusion temperature controllable device based on material and environment properties comprises a connecting seat and a temperature controllable device disposed on the connecting seat connecting with a feeding cylinder and a pastry extrusion head. The temperature controllable device comprises a temperature controllable element, a temperature sensor and a thermal insulation jacket. The temperature sensor senses a temperature of a food in the connecting seat, and the temperature controllable element is capable of receiving a temperature controllable command from a controller to adjust the temperature of the food in the connecting seat by heating or cooling. The thermal insulation jacket covers the connecting seat to maintain the temperature. A material removal element is disposed on an inner surface of a chamber of the connecting seat to spray a fluid of liquid and gas sequentially toward a pastry tip of the pastry extrusion head.

The invention relates to semi-soft dosage forms with functional health ingredients for animal as well as human use.

Cocoa or cinnamon is mixed at least one enzyme to form a mixture, and the mixture is combined with a cereal food composition. In one embodiment, the cereal food composition is extruded or otherwise formed into a plurality of cereal pieces after the mixture is combined with the food composition. In another embodiment, the mixture is coated onto cereal pieces formed from the food composition. Preferably, the at least one enzyme includes at least two carbohydrases, and can also include soluble fiber enzymes, and even one or more fat soluble enzymes. In each case, the at least one enzyme is deactivated, either during working of the cocoa or cinnamon after combining with the cereal food composition or prior to the mixture being combined with the cereal food composition.

The invention relates to a cooling nozzle which has a product channel of annular cross-section the circumference of which is closed with the exception of at least one recess. Said recess has the effect that compound exiting the product channel spreads uniformly on a substrate if the compound is sufficiently solid after cooling during passage through the cooling nozzle so that it does not deliquesce on a flat substrate.

The present disclosure relates to extruded protein compositions suitable for thermal processing and thermally processed protein compositions made from extruded protein compositions. In particular, a thermally processed protein composition has a particular protein content with protein fibers in a generally parallel orientation, and a particular hardness, chewiness and springiness.
