PURPOSE:To mass produce a nice snack food, by steaming or boiling roughly crushed corn while adding water thereto, rolling the resultant gelatinized rice cakelike material, primarily drying the resultant sheet, winding up the sheet, maturing the wound sheet, homogenizing the moisture, stamping or cutting the wound sheet, drying the resultant material, frying the dried material in oil, roasting the fried material, and seasoning the roasted matrerial. CONSTITUTION:Roughly crushed corn grains (corn grits) are introduced into a stirred cooker, and water is added thereto while stirring the corn grains. A pH controlling agent and a seasoning are added during the stirring to gelatinize the corn grains, which are changed into a rice cakelike form. The resultant rice cakelike material is then rolled into a sheet, cooled, primarily dried, wound, matured, extended and stamped or cut into a desired form. The resultant stemped or cut material is then secondarily dried with hot air, and refined to give a dough, which is then subjected to the third drying step in a roasting oven, fried in an oil or baked. The surface of the material is then seasoned to give the aimed corn snack food. |
