METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF INSTANT MEALS FROM STARCH-CONTAINING CEREALS Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A23L1/164 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: method relates to food industry, in particular to cereal-processing, grain and food concentrate industries, and is intended to produce instant meals from starch-containing cereals. Method includes cereal moistening with water having temperature of 18-20°C in amount of 1.5-2.0% of overall cereal mass, mixing of cereal for 4-5 min until cereal mositure becomes 28-30%, thermal treatment of moistened cereal by FIR-radiation for 28-51 s with wave length of 0.8-5.0 micrometre and density of heat flow of 32-34 kW/m² to the temperature of 110-140°C, cereal maintenance for 3-6 min in process of continuous mixing, repeated moistening of cereal with water having temperature of 18-20°C in amount of 2.0-3.0% from overall mass of cereal, with reduction of cereal temperature down to 80-90°C, steaming of cereal at atmospheric pressure in medium of saturated water steam for 5-10 min with reduction of cereal temperatrue down to 60-70°C and final cooling of cereal down to 18-20°C for 3-5 minutes.

EFFECT: invention makes it possible to create instant meal of functional-prophylactic purpose by modification of starch natural structure and food fibres of peripheral grain shells.
