GARBANZO GRAIN FLAKES PRODUCTION METHOD Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A23L1/10 A23L1/25 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to flour-and-cereals industry and is intended for manufacture of a cereal product in the form of flakes of garbanzo grains. The garbanzo 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 36 hours till grains moisture content is equal to 40-42%. 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 100-115 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.
