I. Introduction of Chocolate Rings Cereal

The raw material of chocolate cereal rings is combination of multi cereals ( wheat, corn, and a certain proportion of oats or rice), and a small amount of cocoa powder. While providing breakfast nutrition, it also meets the taste needs of chocolate lovers.

Like all other breakfast cereals, in order to keep the puffed oats rings soaked in milk from breaking, it is important that the cereal rings have a finer puff texture with smaller puffed pores. So a lower gelatinization temperature is required, so the puffed food extruder with longer screw  is required. In this way, the oat dough is kneaded for a longer time to achieve the desired texrure configuration.

When there is a higher percentage of oats in the cereal mixture, we will addthe pre-conditioning process before cereal extrusion.

IV. The General Flow Chart for Chocolate Rings Cereal Puff

• Step 1: Mixing of raw materials
• Step 2: Pre-conditioning (pregelatinization for oat)
• Step 3: Extruded and forming to ring shape
• Step 4: Cooling
• Step 5: Pre-drying
• Step 6: Seasoning
• Step 7: Drying after seasoning
• Step 8: Cooling before packing
• Step 9: Packing

1. Mix wheat flour, corn flour, rice or oat flour, 5% cocoa powder, mixing water and other ingredients, and stir well.
2. The mixture is loaded into the pre-conditioner to have the pregelatinization.
3. Then the pregelatinized grain dough is conveyed from the pre-conditioner to a extruder of lengthened barrel. The dough is kneaded into an ideal configuration by setting a certain temperature and pressure. A ring-shape forming die is installed at the front of the extruder. After the dough is extruded from the die, the rapidly rotating blade cuts off the extrudate. Due to the pressure difference, moisture escapes, and the cut extrudate rapidly expands to circle shape.
4. Then the chocolate circles are dried, baked and through other processes to make them crunchy. Up to now, the chocolaterings are done.
5. According to market demand, the seasoning drum can be used for adding salt, coatingglucose-fructose syrup.
6. Finally, the chocolate cereal rings are dried, cooled and pack
