extrudable mass, method of producing an expanded farinaceous food product and direct expanded food product

摘要

Patent Summary of the Invention: "Method and formulation for producing extruded snack food products and products obtained therefrom". The present invention generally relates to the production of direct expanded farinaceous food products without the use of a drying apparatus such as an oven and without the use of sugar traditionally used to eliminate such drying steps. A farinaceous material combined with a plasticizer component in the form of trehalose is extruded to form a direct expanded stable shelf life snack food product. snack foods made with trehalose may be incorporated into an outer shell of a coextruded or stuffed composite product. 20476938v1
