PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a processed food providing much more various textures, and to provide a method for producing the processed food having the texture close to real prawn meat.SOLUTION: The processed food X has a processed food body 10 having a plurality of gel-shaped molded food material fragments 1 obtained by molding food materials, and obtained by assembling the molded food material fragments 1 in a plurality of shapes. The method for producing the processed food includes: a molded food fragment-making step of making gel-shaped anterior oblique muscle fragments 1a, central muscle fragments 1b and transverse muscle fragments 1c by processing the food material a processed food member-making step of making a plurality of processed food members 10a and 10b obtained by allowing the anterior oblique muscle fragments 1a to penetrate opening parts p formed in the central muscle fragments 1b a processed food body-making step of making the processed food body 10 by fitting the transverse muscle fragments 1c between the processed food members 10a and 10b and a film-forming step of forming a film of a surface film part on the surface of the processed food body 10.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】より多様な食感が得られる加工食品、および、本物のエビ肉に近い食感が得られる加工食品の製造方法を提供する。【解決手段】食材を成形したゲル状の成形食材片1を複数備え、複数の形状を有する成形食材片1を組み付けた加工食品本体10を有する加工食品X、および、食材を加工して、ゲル状の前斜筋片1a、中央筋片1b、横断筋片1cを作製する成形食材片作製工程と、中央筋片1bに形成した開口部pに前斜筋片1aを嵌通させた複数の加工食品部材10a、10bを作製する加工食品部材作製工程と、加工食品部材10a、10bどうしの間に横断筋片1cを嵌め込んで加工食品本体10を作製する加工食品本体作製工程と、加工食品本体10の表面に表皮膜部を成膜する成膜工程と、を有する加工食品製造方法。【選択図】図1
