PRODUCTION OF CRUSHED WHOLE GRAINS PRODUCTS Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A23L1/168 A23L1/10 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to a method of production of crushed product, from crushed whole grain, such as ready-to-eat cereals and sweet and salty snack products such as chips of crushed whole-grain maize obtained at continuous production by granulation of agglomerates which has undergone boiling, tempered whole grain particles. Undergone boiling whole grains such as maize and other gluten-free grains or grains with low-gluten tend to become solid and rubber-type after boiling during the processes of cooling and tempering. Granulation can be carried out at a pressure of about 200 psi to 600 psi, preferably from about 400 psi to 500 psi. The temperature of granulation can be adjusted to ensure temperature of grains at the outlet of the granulator from about 80°F to about 120°F, preferably from about 90°F to about 110°F.

EFFECT: granulation leads to production of whole grains with a soft, plastic texture which can break up into dense mesh sheets based on flow production.
