The invention relates to a method for producing preformed peeled packed sausages, comprising the steps of subsequently: A) heating an encased sausage; B) peeling a casing from the sausage at higher surface temperatures; and C) packing the peeled sausage. The invention also relates to a production device for producing preformed peeled packed sausages with such a method.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing sausage products by means of co-extrusion, wherein the method comprises the following steps of: A) providing a food dough; B) providing a viscous paste; C) producing by means of co-extrusion a sausage strand with a core of the food dough enclosed by a casing of the paste; D) subdividing the sausage strand into sausage products; and E) guiding the sausage through a fixing bath, whereby the cohesion of the sausage increases.

Methods of production of edible filamentous fungal biomat formulations are provided as standalone protein sources and/or protein ingredients in foodstuffs as well as a one-time use or repeated use self-contained biomat reactor comprising a container with at least one compartment and placed within the compartment(s), a feedstock, a fungal inoculum, a gas-permeable membrane, and optionally a liquid nutrient medium.

Provided are a seafood/livestock meat product improvement agent that can impart meaty firmness when used in a seafood/livestock meat product, and a seafood/livestock meat product. This seafood/livestock meat product improvement agent contains an oil/fat-processed starch having a heat solubility of 3% to 25% and a heat swelling degree of 8 times to 17 times, and is characterized in that the pH of the oil/fat-processed starch is 3.3 or higher and less than 6.5. The oil/fat-processed starch is preferably an oil/fat-processed distarch phosphate. The seafood/livestock meat product is characterized by containing the seafood/livestock meat product improvement agent described above.

An apparatus for processing a foodstuff material is provided, specifically for producing sausage products from sausage meat. The apparatus includes a stationary housing which has a wall and which can be connected in fluid-conducting relationship to a conveyor pump, and has a discharge opening for delivery of the foodstuff material. Arranged within the housing is an element for partially swirling the foodstuff material within the housing, which is rotatable relative to the wall and along which in operation at least a partial amount of the foodstuff material to be conveyed flows. The rotatable element ends within the housing before the discharge opening for delivery of the foodstuff material. The apparatus can produce a string with a substantially cylindrical outer contour from a foodstuff material like sausage meat.

Provided is a method for producing fermented blood sausage having high antioxidant activity, comprising (1) preparing hemoglobin antioxidant peptide through Plastein reaction; (2) brining and primarily fermenting livestock or poultry meat; (3) deodoring and breaking livestock or poultry blood; (4) filling and secondary fermentation; (5) obtaining a finished product after drying. Compared with prior arts, the present disclosure uses Plastein reaction of blood to prepare a highly active antioxidant peptide, the fermented blood sausage has a total antioxidant capacity up to 6.89 U/mg protein, with an increase rate of 58%. The blood was deodorized, and total amount of free amino acids in secondary fermentation by lactic acid bacteria in combination with yeasts reached 12.74 mg/g, with an increase rate of 42%, providing the fermented blood sausage with better flavor and chewiness. The present disclosure also provides a new approach to comprehensive utilization of livestock or poultry blood resources.

Methods of production of edible filamentous fungal biomat formulations are provided as standalone protein sources and/or protein ingredients in foodstuffs as well as a one-time use or repeated use self-contained biomat reactor comprising a container with at least one compartment and placed within the compartment(s), a feedstock, a fungal inoculum, a gas-permeable membrane, and optionally a liquid nutrient medium.

The present invention relates to the use of an anthocyanin and/or betanin as a colourant in a food product, plant extracts as a source of anthocyanins and/or betanins, compositions comprising the plant extracts and processes using the anthocyanins and/or betanins or compositions described herein.

Process and an apparatus adapted to carry out the process steps for producing sausage products, which includes the following steps: Comminuting raw meat with fat, adding seasoning, salt and further additives, mixing in order to produce a raw sausage mass, filling the raw sausage mass into sausage casings or boxes to form encased sausage, first warming and fermenting the formed encased sausage, second warming the encased sausage mass to a temperature of approximately 42° C., immediately subsequently cooling the cooked fermented sausage mass to −1° C. or below with vacuum being applied, and cutting of the dried and cooled encased sausage to obtain a cut and cooled sausage product.

A synthetic meat product for human and animal consumption and methods for producing such food product are disclosed. The synthetic food product comprises or essentially consists of a cell biomass of avian cells grown in vitro in a chemically-defined serum free culture medium under controlled conditions and do not contain any hazard contaminations.
