Abstract: |
A process in which a liquid sodium alginate solution is prepared, passed through openings in a perforated sheet to form droplets which are permitted to fall into a body of liquid calcium ion solution such as calcium chloride where reaction between the sodium alginate and calcium chloride produces calcium alginate in the form of a tough shell on the outside of the droplets, and filtering the coated particles from the calcium solution. The invention embraces other ways of introducing the sodium alginate solution into the calcium ion solution to produce various shapes of coated particles such as shrimp, worms, etc. Our invention includes also the products which are produced having the character, the form and the chemical content as described.

First Claim:
Show all 10 claims |
I claim:
1. A process for preparing fish bait comprising the steps
- producing a mixture of ingredients comprising a flavoring agent of natural foods to which fish are attracted and an aqueous solution of sodium alginate in an amount of from 0.5 to 25% by weight based on the weight of the sodium alginate solution,
- introducing said mixture in particulate form into an aqueous solution of a soluble calcium salt in an amount of from 0.5 to 25% by weight based on the weight of the calcium salt solution to produce particles having a resilient shell of solid calcium alginate,
- separating said particles from said aqueous solution of calcium salt,
- drying the separated particles at a temperature of less than 300° F. to facilitate their transportation and storage and
- subsequently rehydrating the dried particles.
