LENTIL GRAIN FLAKES PRODUCTION METHOD 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 lentil grain flakes 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 40-42% 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 2.4-2.6 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 100-110 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.
