PRODUCTION OF FLAKES BY EXTRUDING BROKEN KERNELS OF WAXY BARLEY AND NON-WAXY BARLEY WHICH HAVE HITHERTO BEEN DISCARDED UNDER CONDITIONS OF SUITABLE MOISTURE, MOLDING INTO SHAPE OF SHEET AND THEN FRYING

摘要

PURPOSE: A method of making flakes by extruding a mixture of broken kernels of waxy barley and non-waxy barley under conditions of suitable moisture, molding into the shape of a sheet and then frying is provided. It effectively utilizes broken barley kernels which have hitherto been discarded. CONSTITUTION: Broken kernels of non-waxy barley and waxy barley are mixed in a ratio of 6:4 to 7:3(w/w), added with 30 to 40%(w/w) of water based on the weight of the mixture and extruded at 80 to 120deg.C to give a pellet, which is molded into the shape of a sheet, dried to a moisture content of 13 to 15% and then fried in oil at 150 to 210deg.C for 20 to 40sec. For an example, 1kg broken kernels of waxy barley and non-waxy barley are soaked in water and extruded. The pellet produced is molded with a flaking roller into the shape of a sheet, which is dried at room temperature and fried in soybean oil at 180deg.C for 30sec.
