Process for producing a functional protein product from vegetable protein materials

Abstract

A process for producing a vegetable protein product for use with an animal protein material in which a non-hydrated vegetable proteinaceous extract is blended under conditions of shear with a quantity of water insufficient for full hydration of the extract and a frozen animal food product having a temperature sufficiently low to render it essentially rigid, e.g. not greater than 0.degree. C., to produce a granular product containing said vegetable proteinaceous extract and said animal food product.
