| abstract |
An apparatus for the continuous production of soft protein foods wherein the liquid protein source remains enclosed, passing through a heat exchanger followed by one or more holding tubes, passing into coagulation tubes. The product exits onto a perforated conveyor belt, permitting drainage of a liquid by-product. This invention also includes processes for producing various soft protein foods such as acid-curd cheeses, whey cheeses, soyfood, and casein. |
