Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus and method wherein meat product constituents are mixed under a high shear force to combine the constituents into a mixture having a stable protein matrix is disclosed. The system incorporates mixing devices in a housing into which input streams are directed. The system then applies a high shear force over a small volume to mix the constituents together, thereby rapidly combining the meat constituents and other ingredients to rapidly form a stable protein matrix. The high shear force deforms and contorts the meats and allows other ingredients to be forced within the protein strands of the meats, which can eliminate the need for a curing stage for protein extraction.
