    摘要: The invention relates to a method for producing a cream-cheese-like, preferably vegan, food product with a strength measured at 10° C. by a texture testing machine, in which a round press plunger with a surface area of 1.27 cm2 and a speed of 2 mm/s is introduced into a sample, said strength coming from a value range between 0.2 N and 7.0 N, preferably between 0.5 N and 2.5 N, a dry mass weight proportion between 6% and 80% and a total fat weight proportion between 0.92% and 30%, comprising the following steps: producing a pumpable mass based on water and nuts and/or seeds, preferably almonds; and obtaining the food product from the pumpable mass. The invention is characterised in that the pumpable mass is produced by mixing a partially de-oiled flour made from the nuts and/or seeds, preferably almond flour, having a fat weight proportion between 5 and 20 wt. %, with the water and fat, in particular in the form of oil.

    摘要: Method and system for determining a specific mass flow rate of a highly viscous food product (1) having a viscosity of greater than 100 cP, which during processing in a continuous delivery flow is supplied to or removed from a buffer container (2) by means of a delivery pump (4), wherein a weighing device (7) is used to determine the change in the mass of the food product (1) in the buffer container (2) over a defined time period, which is in particular in the range of one or several minutes (Δm/Δt), wherein, in the same time period a pump parameter of the delivery pump (4) that is proportional to the expected delivery rate is registered, changes in the pump parameter over the time period are averaged to form an average pump parameter, wherein the current specific mass flow rate is calculated as a quotient from the change over time of the mass Δm/Δt and the averaged pump parameter and is output.

    摘要: A cutting device, knife carrier suitable for use in the cutting device, a cutting system and method for cutting a strand of stacked bands of a food product are disclosed. The cutting device, knife carrier, cutting system and method combine a transverse cutting knife with a diagonal cutting knife disposed at an oblique angle with respect to the transverse cutting knife. The diagonal cutting knife diagonally cuts the stack simultaneously with transverse cutting of the stack by the transverse cutting knife to form substantially triangular prism shaped stacks made of corresponding substantially triangular shaped slices. A food product obtainable by the method is disclosed, wherein (a) the food product comprises at least two stacks of food product, wherein the edges of individual slices forming the hypotenuse of one substantially triangular prism shaped stack are disposed adjacent to the edges of the individual slices forming the hypotenuse of the other substantially triangular prism shaped stack in one-to-one relation to one another and/or (b) the substantially triangular footprint of each stack is in the form of a quadrilateral, wherein at least 80 percent of the surface area of the quadrilateral is triangular.
