Meat
Sausages are most frequently made from pork and beef. However, lamb, veal, goat, chicken, turkey, rabbit, venison, and other game are suitable. Species affects sausage color. Beef and venison sausage are dark red. Sausages that contain veal, chicken, or rabbit are light colored. Sausage flavor is more affected by spices than by the kind of meat used. All fat is often removed from game meat, and pork fat added for proper texture and juiciness.
Always use meats that are as microbiologically fresh as possible. Before grinding, the meat should be as close to freezing as possible (30-32°F) to prevent fat smearing.

liquefaction

Explanation:
"smelting"in english is used in the metalworking industry when heat is applied to a metal to melt it.

Liquefaction is more used in the food industry and can be induced also by friction or pressure. I think it may be applicable here because it refers to the mixing of the ingredients with paddles (which creates less heat than compression induced stuffing)

"The temperatures quoted must be reached in the centre of the pack to ensure that the entire contents are adequately heated but protein and fat are poor heat conductors. If there is enough liquid in the can, such as meat cooked in gravy, Frankfurters in brine, or through release of liquid from the meat and liquefaction of the fat, heat can penetrate by convection as well as conduction if the can is rotated during the process. This allows a shorter heating time with less damage to flavour, texture and nutrients, and the outer layer of the food is not overheated."

Try this link for homogenization..

The word homogenize means "to make or render homogeneous" while homogeneous means "having the same composition, structure, or character throughout". Homogenizing is what is called an umbrella word - a word which covers a very large area. When someone says that they are homogenizing, they may mean that they are actually doing one or more of the following, blending, mixing, disrupting, emulsifying, dispersing, stirring etc.
