BROAD BEANS FLAKES PRODUCTION METHOD Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A23K1/14 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention is related to feedstuff industry. The broad beans flakes production method involves impurities removal from grains, grains soaking in water at a temperature of 18-20°C during 34 hours till grains moisture content is equal to 38-40% and grains drying with infrared rays. The said drying is performed at wave length amounting to 0.9-1.1 mcm with radiant flux density equal to 12-14 kW/m² during 2.5-3.0 minutes till moisture content is equal to 30-32%. Then grains are treated with infrared rays at wave length amounting to 0.9-1.1 mcm with radiant flux density equal to 18-20 kW/m² during 100-115 sec till the grains temperature is equal to 160-170°C. Grains are flattened into 0.6-0.7 mm thick flakes.

EFFECT: high yield and high feed and biological value of the ready product.
