The invention relates to a dry expanded food product comprising the following essential ingredients: a food-grade protein concentrate of animal or plant origin, and residual water. The expansion can be obtained during a step of treatment in a microwave device.
Claims24
Dry expanded food product only comprising, as structural ingredients, ingredients of the group constituted of a food-grade protein concentrate of animal or plant origin, and residual water.
Dry expanded food product comprising at least the following essential ingredients:
- a food-grade protein concentrate of animal or plant origin, and
- residual water.
Method for producing a dry expanded food product comprising a food-grade protein concentrate of animal or plant origin, and residual water, production method wherein
- a thermoexpandable precursor constituted of the following ingredients is prepared:
- a food-grade protein concentrate of animal or plant origin, and
- water,
- method for preparing the precursor comprising the step consisting of:
- combining, at a temperature of between 4° C. and 100° C., the protein concentrate of animal or plant origin and water, and
- the thermoexpandable precursor is subjected to heat, in a microwave-type device, to cause the expansion thereof and the reduction of water content down to a residual content.
