US 12,677,860 B2 · Marbled foodstuff manufacturing system

Abstract

A method for forming a marbled foodstuff (FM) product includes the steps of extruding a first foodstuff (F1) into a foodstuff conduit (26, 36) and injecting a second foodstuff (F2) into the first foodstuff (F1) within the foodstuff conduit (26, 36). The first foodstuff (F1) includes water, red dye #3, natural smoke flavor, bacon flavor, soy isolate, wheat gluten, native tapioca starch, wheat protein texturizer, and megacell-80 texturizer, in combination with other elements. The second foodstuff (F2) includes water, starch, egg whites, soy protein isolate, bacon flavor paste and bacon type flavor, and soy oil, in combination with other elements. The first foodstuff (F1) and the second foodstuff (F2) provided a non-homogenous, marbled appearance when the second foodstuff is injected into the first foodstuff to provide a vegetarian foodstuff having the appearance and flavor of natural bacon.
