Description

 The present invention relates to a bait for fishing (or aiche or bait, the first of these spellings being the most used) based on a gelable leg, composed essentially of food products.

 One could also use the term "bait" which in its proper sense designates "a pasture placed in a trap or attached to a hook". Speaking to fishermen we will however only speak of "Esches" or at the limit of "lures" which figuratively means "a device, a primer to deceive" and literally "a fake bait attached to a hook lesson ".

On the other hand, in the language of the fisherman, it is to throw a pasture, food in the water before fishing at the precise place where one intends to fish in order to attract the fish to this place. The purpose of this baiting and therefore the baiting is to attract the fish to the place where it is claimed to be catching it. Baiting can be done either immediately before the start of fishing. sometimes the day before,
Unlike the bait thus defined, the bait or the lure are objects intended to hide the hook.

- the bait being rather a grain of wheat food, a small ball of bread crumbs, maggots, mealworm. manure worm, bloodworm, earthworm or even in what fishermen call "live fishing", small minnow fish for example;
- the lure is really a device, - a fake bait. such as: metal spoon, bird feather and various realizations in wood, plastic. metal, rubber or other inert materials likely to tempt the fish by their resemblance to its usual prey, whether it be their shape, their color, or their movement in the end.

 It must finally be known that the fish is generally voracious, Maybe because it is lacking in tactile sense, it rushes onto anything that seems consumable to him - "he engames" say the fishermen - and immediately rejects everything non-food object.

The speed with which this rejection is practiced gives the sinner very little time to "hook", this small movement intended to hang the fish on the hook, and it is also the cause of many non-catching touches.

 From what has just been said, it appears that the bait - of a more natural character than the lure is obviously of a yield much higher than that of the lure, and therefore has the preference of fishermen.

However, the traditional bait, by its nature of pasture is perishable, therefore of a conservation of a limited duration, while the lure, inert material, does not present the same drawback.

 In addition, for many fishermen, especially in urban areas, the search for bait or live bait: earthworms, bloodworms, mealworms, maggots. minnows, etc ... poses a problem often difficult to solve.

 The aim of the present invention, taking into account the lessons drawn from the above remarks, is to provide fishermen with a substitute product for the baits and lures usually used, that is to say a product having ~ appearance and shape (e.g. grain or worms), color, odor, taste, consistency, prey commonly sought by fish, and which can be kept for a very long time. conservation of bait is very important both for the user - the fisherman himself - and for the traders specializing in the sale of fishing articles. Both must be freed from the very real haunting for them of the very rapid deterioration of natural products which become unusable after only three or four days of storage.

The invention therefore relates to an edible bait, based on a shaped gelled paste, comprising (Z by weight)
- from 5 to 85% of one or more food product (s).

- from 0 to 10% of an attractive element,
- from 1 to 5 <of a gelling agent,
- from 0.05 to 1.5Z of an emulsifying agent,
- from 0 to 10% of one or more solvent (s),
- sufficient preservatives, and
- water qs 100;
The food products used in this composition are chosen according to the type of fish that one would like to catch a priori. Thus for freshwater carnivorous fish, the composition preferably contains animal proteins (for example meat meal, blood meal, etc.).

For freshwater white fish, starchy proteins are preferably used (for example cereal flours, gluten, biscuit waste). For me-r fish, we will use preferably. animal proteins such as fishmeal or various extracts of shellfish, molluscs or seafood. It goes without saying that a mixture of food products can be used and that the taste of the product obtained will depend on the ingredients used that '' these are oily or solid products, for example: anise, peanut, aspic, star anise, biscuit, chestnuts, hempseed, copra, coriander, walnut flour, fennel, (chicken breast.

gaude. corn, carnations, palm kernel, soy, vanilla, etc.). All of these products may possibly be in the form of crushed or chopped solid particles. or in powder form whatever the particle size. Preferably, 12 to 25% by weight of food product (s) will be used in the bait.

 The odor sought will sometimes be that of natural products used in the composition of the "sui generis" bait, it is said, which is the case with natural meat or fish meal, or natural oils of animal or vegetable origin. In other cases, it is advantageous to use as an attractive element industrial perfumes or extracts of natural products: seafood, for example. either synthetic products. Preferably, 0.5 to 2% by weight of attractive element will be used in the bait.

 Another essential ingredient in the com-.

 position of the bait according to the invention is the gelling agent. This component may preferably be an alginate such as sodium alginate, but other usual gelling agents from the food industry, such as pectins, carrageenans, agar, gelatin, may be used. casein, cellulose ethers, etc ...

 The emulsifying agent which is useful in particular for introducing into the composition of the bait the oily or lipid components (archid, rapeseed, animal oils, etc.), can be chosen for example from polyoxyethylenated derivatives of fatty acid esters and of alcohols (Tween, etc).

 Solvents can be useful for maintaining the homogeneity of the composition of the bait, in particular during shaping (cf. below, and may in particular be alcohols such as ethylene glycol. Propylene glycol, glycerol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, etc.

 The preservatives can be chosen in particular from benzoic acid derivatives (salts and esters such as sodium or methyl benzoate), antioxidants of the gallates type, acidifiers, phenolic derivatives, etc. example in a proportion of about 0.1% of the composition of the bait. It may be useful to add antibiotics in order to avoid any proliferation of microorganisms (bactericidal and bacteriostatic action).

 Besides the previous adjuvants. the composition of the bait according to the invention may usefully contain from 0.25 to 2.5 <by weight of an antiaggregant such as a pyrophosphate.

 Furthermore, the bait according to the invention may contain a dye. The color given to the products will depend on the fish for which each product is intended. For example, for trout fishing, we will look for brown-vi colors, olace to get closer to the color of earthworms frequently used for this fishing. On the other hand, for the. sea fish, we will look for lighter dyes: creamy white, yellow. bluish, for example. For white fish commonly caught with maggots, almost white dyes or very light cream will be used.

The coloring of the bait can be very varied, whether it is the color due to the natural products used: gluten, meat meal, fish meal.

or added dyes.

 The baits according to the invention are shaped by gelation of the soft paste obtained by mixing the various constituents, after this paste has been put into the desired shape (worms, larvae, maggots, insects, small seeds, plant debris, dumplings etc ...) by passing through a die, a screen or a sieve. An advantageous technique consists in establishing these accessories: die, screen or sieve, above the gelling liquid so that the portion of soft dough is immediately gelled by falling into the gelling liquid.

 The parameters determining the shape and consistency of the product obtained are as follows - Composition of the soft paste itself and in particular the percentage of gelable product contained in the paste, - shape of the die, screen or sieve ensuring the shaping of the dough in a soft state, - extrusion pressure of the dough, - duration of the pressure, - dosage of the gelling product contained in the gelling tank.

- duration of gelling, - duration of rinsing time, - duration of drying time.

 Thus the extruded paste leaving the nozzle (for example in the form of a worm) can be introduced into a gelation bath. If the gelling component is an alginate, the gelling bath may be an aqueous solution of calcium or aluminum salts (in particular chlorides) at a rate of 5 to 50 g / l. The duration of the gelation may be from 1 to 50 minutes depending on the consistency which it is desired to give to the baits according to the invention.

 Indeed, the consistency of the finished product will depend on the components (especially flour and oil) used in the dough, their concentration, the proportion of gelling agent, the pressure at the extrusion of the dough, the concentration of the gelling and residence time in the gelling bath.

 The preservation of the baits according to the invention will be ensured on the one hand by the composition of the dough in which the preservatives will have been introduced and, on the other hand by the method of packaging as indicated below.

 The baits according to the invention can be presented for sale either in rigid packaging of the canned box type, or in plastic bags, or in blisters. We can also perform sterilizations or pasteurizations in the autoclave, or by ultraviolet. Finally, we can practice vacuum packaging, as well as gas or neutral gas mixture as in the food industry.
