1. A process for recovering tallow from a meat material, comprising:
reducing the meat material to particulate form, conveying the meat material continually through a process chamber containing superheated steam and which is substantially free from oxygen so that the superheated steam contacts the particulate material to subject the meat material to superheated steam at a temperature above 220° C. for a period of time effective to liquefy and separate from the meat material a major amount of the tallow naturally occurring in the meat material, but not vaporize said amount of tallow, and recovering the liquefied and separated tallow naturally occurring in the meat material, in a liquid state separately from the meat material, while the superheated steam remains in a vapour state and entrains in the superheated steam water in the meat material. |
