Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for producing protein-containing foamed food products, comprising the steps: metering raw materials into an extruder, wherein at least one raw material is a protein, mixing the raw materials into the extruder to produce a mixture, extruding the mixture to produce an extrudate, and leading the extrudate out of the extruder through a cooling die with cooling of the extrudate to a temperature of less than 100° C., wherein pores are formed in a controlled manner in the extruder, by providing a gas, by introducing the gas into the extruder or by forming the gas based on a reaction of a gas-forming compound added as a raw material with a gas-releasing compound added as a raw material.
