Abstract:
Method for the production of paste products having a formed gluten framework, in which at least one powdery dough base selected from the group consisting of flour, dust, and semolina is mixed as a dry component with a liquid component, the dough mass being formed therefrom is kneaded by means of an extruder and a finished dough is formed into paste products, wherein the temperature of the dough mass for the formation of the gluten framework is kept below 50Â° C. during carrying out of the method, wherein,the extruder comprises two extruder shafts which are driven in counter-rotation, the dry component is fed directly into a first screw conveyor zone of the counter-rotating extruder, the liquid component is introduced separately from the dry component into the first screw conveyor zone of the counter-rotating extruder, the counter-rotating extruder in the first screw conveyor zone is driven below its feeding capacity, wherein the dry component and the liquid component are mixed to a dough mass with a defined admixture of a gas, within the counter-rotating extruder the dough mass is kneaded and the finished dough is formed, and at an outlet of the extruder the dough is pressed under pressure by means of screw conveyors directly into a mold for molding the dough into a desired form of the paste product.
