A process for producing shaped food, which comprises binding processed food particles such as corn flakes or wheat flakes to each other with powdery alpha -starch or high-molecular substance containing an aqueous alcolhol and shaping the mixture into a long, platy form or the like. In the conventional process comprising wetting processed food particles, covering the wetted particles with powdery cereal containing alpha -starch and heat-drying the covered particles to impart a binding ability to the powder cereal to bind the processed food particles, there has been a problem that the cereal powders bind to each other to form a mass, which penetrates into a part of the shaped food to form spots or the like, thus deteriorating the appearance or taste of the food. In the process of the present invention, a sugar is adhered to the processed food particles before the particles are covered in a wet state with the powdery cereal containing alpha -starch. This process prevents the cereal powders from binding to each other so that the problem of the poor appearance or bad taste of the processed food due to the binding can be solved. |
