METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF FLAKES OF MAIZE GRAINS (EXCEPT POPPING ONES) Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A23L1/164 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention is related to flour-and-cereals industry. The method for production of flakes of maize grains (except popping ones) involves impurities removal from grains, grains soaking in water at a temperature of 18-20°C during 36 hours till grains moisture content is equal to 38-40% and grains drying with infrared rays at wave length amounting to 0.9-1.1 mcm and with radiant flux density equal to12-14 kW/m² during 2.5-3.0 minutes till moisture content is equal to 30-32%. Then grains are treated with infrared rays at the same wave length with radiant flux density equal to 18-20 kW/m² during 95-105 sec till the grains temperature is equal to 160-170°C. Grains are flattened into 0.6-0.7 mm thick flakes.

EFFECT: manufactured product ready for consumption has high yield, high nutritive and biological value and is well digestible within the human organism.
