Description

Vegetarian meat making device

This creation is about a vegetarian meat device, and in particular relates to a vegetarian meat making device.

As the world's population continues to increase, research on the production technology of vegetarian meat products has been the research direction of interest to many scientists. In addition, in recent years, due to the rise of health awareness, many food factories have also invested in the research of the application of vegetarian meat in the food industry.

The high-content meat produced by the biaxial extrusion method has always played an important role in the vegetarian meat market, because the fiber structure of the meat is smooth and smooth, and the taste is more like animal meat.

In recent years, research on the production of wet meat by a biaxial extruder has been mostly directed toward the study of increasing the moisture content. Generally, a block-shaped wet-type meat is produced by a twin-screw extruder, and the thickness of the meat pieces is about 5 mm to 10 mm. The fiber structure of the too thick vegetarian meat pieces is relatively poor, and the taste is not like the animal meat pieces.

Recently, however, consumers have been unable to satisfy the taste of the layered structure of coarse fibers. Therefore, it is an important issue to have a moist and soft bite product that is more like real mature meat.

According to some embodiments, the present invention provides a vegetarian meat making device. The meat preparation device comprises a casing, a plurality of turntables and an inner cylinder. A plurality of turntables are rotatably disposed within the housing. The inner cylinder is disposed between the plurality of turntables and detachably disposed in the casing, wherein a space is formed between the casing, the plurality of turntables and the inner cylinder to accommodate the material for making the meat; and the inner cylinder is separated from the casing The material is attached to the inner cylinder.
