process for the production of an edible product fischfleischpaste which beinfleisch crab is simulated.

摘要

A method of producing a product of fish meat paste simulating natural crab leg meat. which comprises: a first step of cutting a pair of stripes of heat-coagulated fish meat paste into two groups of noodle-like strings as each of the stripes is longitudinally conveyed by a conveyor, and putting the strings of each of the two groups together into a continuous, elongated bundle generally rectangular in transverse section; a second step of successively cutting each of the bundles aslant relative to the longitudinal direction thereof as each of the bundles is individually conveyed so as to produce a plurality of block components of generally parallelepipedic shape each having an acute angle in the forward end thereof; a third step of conveying the block components side by side in pairs and putting each pair of block components together into a single block shaped like the nocked end portion of an arrow, with one cut surface of one block component in each pair contacting the opposite cut surface of the other block component; and a fourth step of successively wrapping each of the blocks in a sheet of edible film as they are conveyed. The method may further include a fifth step of successively turning sideways each of the wrapped blocks prepared in the first to fourth steps so that the blocks lie on their side on the conveyor and, as they are conveyed, successively cutting each of the blocks into two halves at a small angle relative to the longitudinal direction thereof. In the cut surface the bundled strings constituting the block are exposed as if they were muscular tissues of real crab leg meat. IMAGE
