PURPOSE:To obtain a mushroom-containing solid food having excellent taste, flavor, palatability, nutrient value, etc., and suitable as a snack cake, etc., by kneading a mushroom component with starch in the presence of water, heating the kneaded material under pressure, and expanding and forming the mixture. CONSTITUTION:A mushroom component such as dried powder, extract, etc. of a mushroom selected from Cortinellus shiitake, Flammulina velutipes, Lyophyllum aggregatum, Pleurotus ostreatus, Pholiota nameko, and Armillaria matsudake, is mixed with starch (e.g. potato starch, wheat flour, etc.) and water, and if necessary, added with seasonings such as salt, sodium glutamate, etc. The mixture is introduced into a twin-screw extruder, heated and kneaded under pressure, extruded through a nozzle to effect the expansion, and cut and formed to a proper form to obtain the objective mushroom-containing solid food. The extract of mushroom can be produced e.g. by extracting the fruit body or mycelia, etc. of the mushroom with hot water, or extracting with dilute alkali and then neutralizing the extract. |
