WHEAT EMBRYO FLAKE STABILIZATION METHOD Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: food-processing industry.

SUBSTANCE: method involves preparing raw material; providing thermal treatment and storage. Preparing of raw material involves cleaning to cleaning extent of 85-90%. Thermal treatment process is executed by alternatively providing heating and cooling processes, with 6-8 mm high immovable layer of product being initially heated-through to temperature of 35-40⁰C by heated air having temperature of 55-65⁰C for 8-10 min for reducing moisture content of product by 5-5.5%, with following cooling of product to temperature ranging between -5⁰C and -7⁰C and holding in refrigerating chamber for 7-10 min, and providing further treatment of product with heated air having temperature of 145-150⁰C for 5-6 min until final moisture content of product is 3.4-3.8% and temperature of product inner layers is 55-65⁰C. Final product is stored under soft conditions at relative humidity of air of 70-75% and temperature of 4-6⁰C for 3-3.5 months.

EFFECT: reduced processing time and improved quality of final product.
