A semi-manufactured product, which can be converted into a food product by boiling, baking or frying, is produced by a) extruding a dough, which has been formed by mixing a dough mixture of one or more edible starches or starch-containing materials together with less than 3.5%, based on the dry weight of the dough mixture, of a non-toxic ionic salt with water, the overall starch content of the dough and the amount of free gelatinised starch being chosen so that a partially gelatinised product having a semi-translucent appearance is formed after extrusion; b) cutting the extruded product immediately or shortly after extrusion into pieces of predetermined shape or property; and c) drying the pieces at a temperature of up to 60 DEG C to a moisture content of 9 to 13% to form a semi-manufactured product. The semi-manufactured product obtained is used in particular for the production of cereal-based snack products. |
