FOOD PRODUCTS CONTAINING RICE BRAN OIL

摘要

Disclosed are cooked dried farinaceous food products such as cooked cereal doughs, ready-to-eat cereals and grain based snacks fabricated from such cooked cereal doughs containing or fortified with rice bran oil supplied at least i n part by non- hydrogenated rice bran oil especially high oryzanol rice bran oil. The cerea ls contain about 0.1 to 10% added rice bran oil. The rice bran oil ingredient can be incorporated into the dough and/or topically applied. The rice bran oil provides the processing advantages of oil addition during processing with low or now transfatty acid s but with extended shelf stability. The finished fortified cereal products are not onl y organoleptically desirable but almost indistinguishable from their counterparts containing hydrogenated fats.
