Abstract
The invention relates to a process and to a device for producing a pore-containing foodstuff, the matrix of which enclosing the pores contains starch. The process is characterized in that the dough is flowable, is admixed with pressure gas and is expanded through a nozzle into an adjacent flow-through channel so that the raw dough containing pressure gas foams in the flow-through channel. For warming of the foamed dough the flow-through channel has a section which is directly adjacent and has at least two electrodes arranged on its circumference for applying current to the foamed dough.

Process for producing a foodstuff containing pores which has a starch-containing matrix around the pores, by producing a gas-containing starch-containing raw dough and warming of the raw dough, characterized in that the raw dough is flowable and is mixed with pressure gas and is expanded through a nozzle (4) into a directly adjacent flow-through channel (5) and for warming is contacted and current is applied by at least two electrodes (7) arranged at the circumference of the flow-through channel (5) in an adjacent section of the flow-through channel (5), until the dough reaches at least a temperature at which it is stable for demoulding out of the flow-through channel (5).
