Pressure molded proteinaceous wafers, ingredient inclusions, cookies, and waffle food products; pressure molding process method, mass balanced and viscosity specific batter for the manufacture of these food products, and final proteinaceous food products derived utilizing such

Abstract

Novel, edible, pressure molded proteinaceous wafer, waffle, inclusion ingredient, and cookie food products are derived utilizing an engineered batter formulation of proteinaceous materials, water, oils/fats, flavors, and select percentages of carbohydrates. The batter has a specific mass balance ratio that allows the wafers to be consistently manufactured on process equipment that was designed for carbohydrate wafer, waffle, or cookie processing. The novel engineered mass balance-based protein formulation provides a batter that can be pumped, utilizes standard steam port pressure relief systems, and results in a final food product that has marketable organoleptic qualities as a component in fabricated protein bars/snacks, confections, as an inclusion in other foods, or as an independent snack food, frozen breakfast food, cookie, or cone product.
