Abstract
The present invention relates to a set of brine solutions for use in a method for in-line processing of food products, said method comprises the steps of a) co-extruding a food dough into a flow of co-extruded food products having a coating that comprises a protein, or a hybrid coating of a protein and a polymer, and b) subjecting the flow of co-extruded food products to a food product strengthening step, said food product strengthening step comprises the step of subjecting the flow of food products to a first brine solution comprising a salt solubilised in an aqueous medium, and a second brine solution comprising a buffer salt solubilised in an aqueous medium. The present invention further relates to a method for in-line processing of food products using the set of brine solutions of the present invention and a lactate salt comprising brine solution.
