Fecha de publicación: 22/08/2024 Fuente: WIPO "meat" The present invention relates to a texturizing apparatus, configured to texturize a mass of viscoelastic foodstuff material, the apparatus comprising: —an outer member, which defines an interior, extending along a longitudinal axis between a first end and a second end, —an inner member, which is arranged inside the interior, extending parallel to the longitudinal axis between the first end and the second end. The outer member has an inner surface in the interior that faces an outer surface of the inner member to define a through annular texturizing chamber in between the inner member and the outer member, extending between the first end and the second end. The outer member and the inner member are configured to rotate with respect to each other about the longitudinal axis to subject the foodstuff material in the texturizing chamber to a simple shear flow. The invention is characterized in that the texturizing chamber comprises an upstream chamber segment and a downstream chamber segment, and in that the texturizing apparatus further comprises cooling device, provided at the downstream chamber segment of the texturizing chamber and configured to only cool the downstream chamber segment of the texturizing chamber.
