VETCH GRAIN FLAKES PRODUCTION METHOD Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A23K1/14 A23K1/00 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to feedstuff industry and is intended for production of a fodder vetch grain product in the form of flakes. The vetch grain flakes production method involves impurities removal from grains, grains soaking, drying with infrared rays, treatment with infrared rays with subsequent flattening into flakes. Grains soaking in water is performed at a temperature of 18-20°C during 35 hours till grains moisture content is equal to 38-40%. Grains drying with infrared rays 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%. Grains treatment with infrared rays is performed at wave length amounting to 0.9-1.1 mcm with radiant flux density equal to 18-20 kW/m² during 90-100 sec till the grains temperature is equal to 160-170°C with subsequent flattening of grains into 0.6-0.7 mm thick flakes.

EFFECT: invention implementation ensures the ready product yield increase, quality improvement and biological value enhancement.
