1,237,822. Food product. H. A. HOFFMAN. 10 Sept., 1969, No. 44621/69. Heading A2B. A method of forming a food product comprises the steps of impregnating substantially solidly compacted fibre-like chunks of a material derived from a solvent-extracted meal of proteinaceous oleaginous seeds, for example soybeans, with an edible oleaginous material, for example coconut oil, so as to effect absorption substantially throughout the chunks whilst substantially retaining their initial shape and hardness, and heating the impregnated chunks in water, which may contain hydrolysed vegetable protein, caramelized sugar, and salt, for sufficient time to soften the chunks to chewable consistency, the chunks having the general shape of the unimpregnated chunks but having an increased volume. The initial chunks may be prepared by subjecting the moisture-containing solvent-extracted meal to elevated temperature and pressure for sufficient time to convert the moisture to steam whereby the meal is debittered and is compacted into a hard substantially fused mass of generally fibre-like material, which is then fragmented into chunks. |
