METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF MAIZE FLAKES WITH PHYTO-ADDITIVE Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A23L1/164 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: extruded products manufacture method envisages mixing of preliminarily milled maize groats with food additives, the prepared mixture extrusion with subsequent cooling of the manufactured swollen product in the form of flakes and packaging. Preliminarily milled maize groats are mixed with food additives at the following ratio of initial components, wt %: maize groats - 82.4; sugar sand - 5; food salt - 1.6; barley malt extract - 6; girasol - 5. Then the prepared mixture is treated in the extruder at a temperature of 140°C. Then the elastoviscoplastic mass is pressed out through a matrix, the matrix holes diameter being d=4.0 mm, and cut with rotating blades into granules sized 4 mm. Then one performs delivery for flattening and frying at a temperature of 240°C - 300°C, cooling and packing.

EFFECT: production of maize flakes with a phyto-additive with high nutritive and biological value and improved organoleptic properties, expansion of the range of extruded products manufactured by such branch.
