PROCEDE DE FABRICATION D'UN PRODUIT DESTINE A L'ALIMENTATION HUMAINE A PARTIR DE GRAMINEES, DE POACEES OU ANALOGUES

摘要

The process consists of harvesting crops of graminaceous, poaceous or similar plants while they are still immature, removing the glumes and or glumellas and applying thermal treatment to yield ready-to-eat products with a preferable degree of moisture between 65 and 75 per cent. The plants are harvested when their degree of moisture is between 70 and 50 per cent to give a finished product with a green index (100-a) of between 95 and 120, and a luminance of 50 - 65. The thermal treatment consists of subjecting the plant grains to temperatures of -80 to 0 degreesC and/or 70 to 200 degreesC in phases of 1 to 10 minutes and/or 10 to 120 minutes.
