METHOD FOR PREPARING GRANULAR FOODS

摘要

A method for preparing a granular food comprises the steps of mixing a material to be granulated with oil and fat having an open-tubed melting point ranging from 40 to 55 DEG C under heating without addition of water, then subjecting the mixture to granulation through extrusion and rapidly cooling the granulated product. The method permits the dry granulation of foods without addition of water and efficient preparation of granular foods which do not require any process for adjusting particle size distribution of the resulting foods after granulation and which permits the production of granular foods having appropriate strength.
