Abstract

A method and system for producing reconstituted vegetable strips. The method may include milling of vegetable materials to particle sizes between 10 to 200 MESH; mixture of cellulose fibers in an intensive mixer to 1 to 10 min; mixture of vegetable material to a binding compound added to the nanocellulose fibers; adding humectant agent and water to the mixture; submitting the mixture to a shearing step through a pre-lamination system including two linear and parallel lamination rollers; submitting a strip to a mixture in an intensive mixer for obtainment of an homogeneous mass; lamination of the mixture between two linear and parallel lamination rollers, obtaining a continuous strip with a specific thickness; drying the vegetable strip through its passage through a thermal chamber in a specific temperature, between 90° C. and 900° C.; cutting and final processing of the dry strip to obtain the final product.
