Abstract
Process for the preparation of ground cereal based foods and food products obtained thereby. The process comprises an initial phase of toasting all the cereals used and a hydrolyzation phase with amylolytic enzymes of the toasted cereals. The food products obtained have better organoleptic and hygienic properties, improved dispersibility, and allow reduction in the amount of edulcorants to be added.
Claims7
A process for the preparation of cereal based foods having an increased level of glucose, comprising the steps of:
- a. selecting ground cereal grain,
- b. toasting said ground cereal grain before said ground cereal grain is dispersed in water,
- c. dispersing the toasted cereal grain in water to form a dispersion,
- d. subjecting said cereal dispersion to a hydrolysis process with at least one amylolytic enzyme prior to a boiling step in (e) below, thereby producing a hydrolyzed cereal grain having an increased level of glucose,
- e. subsequent to said hydrolysis, boiling said hydrolyzed cereal grain in water,
- f. drying said hydrolyzed cereal grain, and
- g. mixing said dried hydrolyzed cereal grain with at least one additive, wherein said additive is selected from sweeteners, aromas and food substances selected from the group comprising dairy products, infant formulas, vitamin complexes, mineral complexes, fruits, dehydrated fruit, juices and additional cereals.
