| abstract |
The object of the invention is that of providing an expanded foodstuff- or animal feed extrudate, in which the importance of the proportion of starch and/or protein as essential structure-giving ingredients no longer applies. According to the invention, this is achieved by an expanded foodstuff- or animal feed extrudate, in which the foodstuff- or animal feed extrudate contains, as an essential structure-giving ingredient, gel-forming dietary fibre and a crystalline ingredient having a melting point of less than or equal to 150 degrees centigrade, and the remaining ingredients are contained in the form of fillers or non-expansion relevant ingredients. |
