A process for preparing a nutritional composition including protein, fat and carbohydrate comprises emulsifying the fat in water with an emulsifier to form an emulsion having a solids content of at least 70%, homogenising the emulsion and extruding the emulsion together with a solid matrix comprising the protein and the carbohydrate in a ratio between 1 part emulsion:0.5 parts matrix to 1 part emulsion:5 parts matrix into a vacuum chamber at a temperature at or above the melting point of the mixture of emulsion and matrix to obtain a solid product having a maximum water content of 10%. |
