method for the continuous production of intermediates for three-dimensional, starch snackprodukte and realistic snackprodukte

摘要

A method for the continuous production of semiprocessed products for three-dimensional snacks made of cereals, mixtures of cereals and/or mixtures of cereals with starches, potato flours or the like, and three-dimensional snacks obtained with the method. The method consists in, after preparing two sheets (1,2) of a semiprocessed gelled compound of the components, making surface incisions in the sheets without cutting through them, and stretching the sheets after making the incisions, making them accumulate visco-elastic energy. The method then provides for a step in which the sheets (1,2) are superimposed and cut with appropriate dies (7), which join them at their edges, forming, in combination with an air jet that pushes the sheets against the walls of the dies, tension-free semiprocessed products having a preset shape. The semiprocessed products are then at least partially dried, stabilizing their shape. The snacks are obtained by subsequent cooking. IMAGE
