Definitions

  • This invention relates to a process for the production of a formulated emulsion product which has a meat-like appearance.
  • the invention also relates to products so produced.
  • the formulated emulsion products are particularly suitable for use as pet foods.
  • Coagulated meat emulsions in the form of loaf-like products, are commonly used as pet foods because they are easily manufactured, readily digested by the animals, very palatable to the animals, and are readily formulated to contain necessary nutrients and trace elements.
  • a disadvantage is that these coagulated emulsions do not have a striated and chunky meat-like appearance.
  • a meat-like appearance can greatly enhance consumer acceptability.
  • a formulated meat emulsion which has a meat-like appearance is described in US patent 4,781,939.
  • This formulated meat emulsion is produced by first forming a meat emulsion from a meat source. Dry ingredients such as dry proteinaceous materials (for example wheat gluten, soy flour), vitamins, minerals and the like are then mixed into the meat emulsion to provide a viscous emulsion. The viscous emulsion is then run through a high-speed emulsion mill in which the emulsion is rapidly heated to a temperature in the range of 102°C to 118°C. The emulsion leaving the emulsion mill is fed to a holding tube where the protein in the emulsion coagulates to form a solid emulsion product.
  • dry proteinaceous materials for example wheat gluten, soy flour
  • vitamins, minerals and the like are then mixed into the meat emulsion to provide a viscous emulsion.
  • the viscous emulsion is then run through
  • This solid emulsion product is then formed into chunks.
  • the chunks are highly striated and resemble natural meat chunks in appearance and texture.
  • the product produced by the process has been successfully used in pet foods for many years. However in recent times, mainly to reduce costs, there has been a move to increase the moisture content ofthe meat emulsions. However, if the amount of moisture becomes too high, the emulsion is not viscous enough to form acceptable chunks. Consequently proteinaceous materials must be added to the emulsion prior to forming into chunks.
  • this invention provides a process for the production of a formulated emulsion product which has a meat-like appearance, the process comprising: emulsifying a protein source for providing an emulsion; adding alkaline to the emulsion to raise the pH to above about 8; rapidly heating and comminuting the emulsion using mechanical energy for causing protein in the heated emulsion to at least partially coagulate; allowing the heated emulsion to coagulate and form striations; and forming the coagulated emulsion into chunks for providing a formulated emulsion product.
  • the addition ofthe alkaline greatly increases the viscosity ofthe emulsion and permits the production of a formulated emulsion product of higher moisture content.
  • components such as gluten may be reduced in amount or omitted entirely.
  • the emulsion need not be produced from a traditional meat source; instead an animal protein source such as plasma, blood proteins, whey, or casein may be used. Consequently, a formulated emulsion product with a meat-like appearance may be produced at lower cost.
  • the formulated emulsion product has much thinner and more pronounced layers giving it a highly striated and more meat-like appearance. Also the product has an improved, chewy texture.
  • the protein source may be of animal or vegetable origin, or a mixture of both. Conveniently the protein source may comprise at least about 80% by weight of animal protein; the remaining protein being of vegetable origin.
  • the protein in the emulsion may comprise about 95% to 100% by weight of protein of animal origin.
  • the protein in the emulsion may comprise about 95% to 100% by weight of protein of vegetable origin.
  • the alkaline which is added to the emulsion may be any suitable alkaline which is acceptable in food.
  • the alkaline may be NaOH, KOH or Ca(OH)2, or mixtures thereof.
  • the alkaline is NaOH.
  • alkaline is added to raise the pH ofthe emulsion to a range of about 9 to about 12; for example about 9 to about 11. This amount preferably results in the formulated emulsion product containing less than about 5% by weight alkaline; more preferably less than about 2% by weight.
  • the formulated emulsion product preferably has a moisture content of about 45% to about 85% by weight; more preferably about 55 to about 65% by weight. If necessary water may be added up to an amount of about 60% by weight to obtain this level of moisture. However, if the protein source contains sufficient moisture, the addition of further moisture is not necessary. Additional ingredients such as fats, sugars, salts, spices, seasonings, flavorants, minerals, and the like may also be added to the emulsion. The amount of additional ingredients used is preferably such that they make up about 1% to about 35% by weight of the formulated emulsion product.
  • the protein source may include whey. This embodiment has the advantage that sugars in the whey may react with amino acids in the emulsion. The Maillard reaction products which result provide the chunks with "meaty" flavor notes which may increase palatability.
  • the alkaline may be added to the emulsion during emulsification ofthe protein source, or may be added to the emulsion immediately prior to the heating and comminuting ofthe emulsion, or may be added to the emulsion during the heating and comminuting ofthe emulsion.
  • the emulsion is deaerated after emulsification.
  • the emulsion is rapidly heated and comminuted by forcing the emulsion between a pair of spaced-apart plates; at least one of which is rotating at high speed. If necessary, the emulsion may be further heated by injecting superheated steam into it. Preferably the emulsion is heated to a temperature above about 100°C, for example within the range of about 102°C to about 120°C. Alternatively, the emulsion may be rapidly heated to a lower temperature providing that the temperature is sufficient to cause at least partial coagulation of the protein; for example at least to about 45°C.
  • the heated emulsion is preferably allowed to coagulate and form striations for a time in the range of about 30 seconds to about 10 minutes; more preferably about 1 minute to about 6 minutes.
  • the invention also provides a formulated emulsion product produced by the process defined above.
  • this invention provides a formulated, striated emulsion product having a meat-like appearance, the product comprising protein, fats and about 45%o to 85% by weight moisture and having a pH of above about 8.
  • the formulated emulsion product comprises about 55% to about 65% moisture.
  • the formulated emulsion product preferably has a pH in the range of about 9 to about 12.
  • the protein content ofthe formulated emulsion product is preferably about 10 to about 25 % by weight; for example about 12 to about 22 % by weight.
  • the protein may include whey.
  • the formulated emulsion product preferably comprises about 5% to about
  • the formulated emulsion product Preferably at least about 50% ofthe striations ofthe formulated emulsion product have a thickness less than about 50 ⁇ m. Further, the formulated emulsion product preferably has an elasticity recovery of greater than about 40%; more preferably greater than about 50%. For example, the formulated emulsion product may have an elasticity recovery of about 55% to about 65%. This provides the product with an excellent chewy texture.
  • the invention also provides a pet food comprising chunks ofa formulated emulsion product as defined above, in combination with an acidic carrier to neutralize the basicity ofthe chunks.
  • the carrier may be an acidic sauce or gravy, or may be a coagulated meat emulsion.
  • a protein source 2 water 4 and an additive mixture 6 are mixed together in a mixer 8 to provide a primary emulsion 10.
  • the protein source 2 which is fed to the mixer 8 may be any suitable meat or vegetable protein source, or both.
  • a suitable meat protein source is a meat emulsion obtained by grinding and then emulsifying blocks of a meat material, such as meat or meat by products.
  • the meat material may be any suitable source of animal protein; for example the muscular or skeletal meat of mammals, poultry, and fish or meat by ⁇ products such as hearts, liver, kidneys, tongue and the like.
  • the exact composition may be selected according to cost and the desired flavor.
  • the meat material conveniently may be in frozen form prior to grinding. Suitable procedures for processing frozen blocks of meat material into a meat emulsion mixture are described in US patent 4,781,939, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference.
  • the animal protein source may be in the form of meat meals such as poultry meal, fish meal, and red meat meal; blood proteins; egg solids; casein; plasma; whey and mixtures thereof. Again the exact composition may be selected according to cost and the desired flavor. Mixtures of any ofthe above may also be used.
  • Any suitable vegetable protein source may be used; for example grain flours and legume flours, vegetable protein isolates and concentrates, and vegetable proteins. Suitable examples are wheat flours, cottonseed meal, gluten, soy meal, soy protein concentrates and isolates, and mixtures thereof. Preferably however the vegetable protein source contains reduced amounts of starch; for example, less than about 20% by weight of starch. Cottonseed meal, gluten, soy meal, soy protein concentrates and isolates are therefore particularly preferred. It is particularly preferred to use a protein source which is a mixture of animal and vegetable origin; for example a mixture of meat material, soy protein isolates or concentrates, and gluten.
  • the total amount of protein in the primary emulsion must be such that the protein is able to coagulate to provide a firm emulsion product in a relatively short time; for example in less than 10 minutes.
  • the primary emulsion 10 may contain from 10 to 22 % by weight of protein.
  • whey may be included in the protein source 2; for example in an amount of about 1% to about 25% by weight ofthe primary emulsion 10.
  • the whey is conveniently in powder form.
  • the inclusion ofthe whey has the advantage of providing a source of reducing sugars which may react with amino acids to provide Maillard reaction products. These reaction products may provide flavor notes which can increase the palatability ofthe formulated emulsion product.
  • the additive mixture 6 may be a mixture of dry additives or fats; and mixtures thereof.
  • the dry additives may be, for example, sugar, salt, spices, seasonings, vitamins, minerals, flavorants and the like.
  • the fats may be suitable animal fats; for example tallow, or may be vegetable fats.
  • the total amount of the additive mixture used may be selected as required but will usually be in the range of 1 to 35% by weight ofthe primary emulsion.
  • the amount of water 4 added is sufficient such that the water comprises from about 45% to 85% by weight in the formulated emulsion product. If sufficient moisture is present in the protein source 2 or the additive mixture 6, the water 4 may be omitted. Usually an amount of water to make up to about 60% ofthe primary emulsion 10 is added.
  • the amount of fat in the primary emulsion must be controlled to facilitate processing and to obtain an acceptable product.
  • the amount of fat is not an important parameter in this process and the amount can be selected as desired. Consequently no fat need be added; particularly ifthe animal protein source 2 contains fats.
  • the amount of fat in the primary emulsion 10 is in the range of 5% to 25% by weight. Reducing the importance of fat as a parameter in the process is a major advantage ofthe process.
  • the protein source 2, the water 4 and the additive mixture 6 are mixed in any suitable mixer 8.
  • a twin screw mixer, a twin ribbon blender, or an overlapping paddle mixer may be used.
  • the mixing should be sufficient to ensure that any dry ingredients are dissolved.
  • the primary emulsion 10 is preferably fed through a vacuum stuffer (not shown), or similar deaeration apparatus, to deaerate the primary emulsion 10. This removes air which may otherwise cause disruption ofthe formulated emulsion product and reduce its meat-like appearance. However, it is not essential to deaerate the primary emulsion 10 because, in general, an acceptable product may still be obtained.
  • Alkaline 12 is injected into the primary emulsion 10 prior to the primary emulsion 10 being fed into an emulsion mill 14. Sufficient alkaline 12 is injected so as to raise the pH ofthe primary emulsion 10 to a range of about 8 to about 12.
  • the alkaline may be any alkaline suitable for use in a food product. Conveniently, NaOH may be used; preferably in solution. The concentration of the NaOH in solution is conveniently about 25% to 50% by weight.

  • the alkaline may be injected into the primary emulsion 10 as it enters the emulsion mill 14.
  • the emulsion mill 14 is a high speed mill which subjects the emulsion to rapid mechanical heating and shearing. Any suitable emulsion mill 14 may be used, for example the emulsion mill disclosed in US patent 5,132,137, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference. Other suitable emulsion mills 14 are commercially available under the tradename of Trigonal and may be obtained from Siefer Machinenfabrik GmbH & Co KG, Lucasstrasse 114, Postfach 101008, Velbert 1, Germany. These emulsion mills usually comprise a pair of plates which are closely spaced apart. One ofthe plates rotates at high speeds. The emulsion is fed between the plates and the mechanical energy imparted to the emulsion rapidly raises its temperature. The heated emulsion 16 leaves the emulsion mill in a thin stream which packs onto earlier streams to form layers or striations

  • the temperature may be raised to from about 100°C to about 120°C.
  • the temperature may be raised to in the range of about 45°C to about 75°C as described in US patent 5,132,137.

Residence times of about 30 seconds to about 10 minutes are sufficient; the actual time depending upon the temperature to which the primary emulsion 10 was heated. Longer or shorter residence times may also be used but disadvantages arise.

Abstract

On décrit un procédé de production d'un produit, à base d'une émulsion formulée, qui présente une apparence de viande. On émulsifie une source de protéines et on ajoute ensuite un agent alcalin afin d'élever le pH de l'émulsion au-dessus d'environ 8. On traite rapidement cette émulsion dans un broyeur idoine, afin de provoquer, dans l'émulsion chauffée, une coagulation au moins partielle des protéines. On laisse ensuite l'émulsion chauffée se coaguler et former des striations, après quoi on la découpe en morceaux. Le produit à base de l'émulsion composée contient environ 45 à 85 % en poids d'eau et il présente une texture de type pâte à mâcher, ainsi qu'une apparence striée.
