METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF PUFFED PRODUCT OF FEED POPPING MAIZE GRAINS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A23K1/14 A23K1/00 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to feedstuff industry and is intended for manufacture of a fodder product of popping maize grains. The puffed product method involves grains soaking in water during 29 hours till grains moisture content is equal to 35-37% and grains drying with infrared rays at wave length amounting to 0.9-1.1 mcm and with radiant flux density equal to 11-13 kW/m² during 2.0-2.5 minutes till moisture content is equal to 28-30%. Subsequent grains treatment with infrared rays is performed at wave length amounting to 0.9-1.1 mcm with radiant flux density equal to 20-22 kW/m² during 80-90 sec till the grains temperature is equal to 170-180%.

EFFECT: invention implementation ensures production of a ready product and having enhanced fodder and biological value.
