I. Introduction of Fruit-Shape Puffed Cereal

Fruit-shape breakfast cereals add pleasure to people while providing nutrition. The raw material is combination of corn flour and rice flour or other grain flours, rich in nutrition.

In this breakfast cereal puff food industry making machine, the extrusion dies of the food extruder are specially designed. So after the cereal dough is extruded from the corresponding dies, it rapidly expands into the desired fruit shapes, such as lemon, orange, banana, and flowers, through pressure difference. The puff shapes are standard and beautiful, and the color is bright, matching the fruits characteristics. Various colors can be obtained by using either natural colors or safe artificial colors.

Like all other breakfast cereals, in order to make the puffed fruit-shaped cereals soaked in milk not to break, it is important that the cereals have a finer puff texture with smaller puffed pores, so a lower gelatinization temperature is required, so an extruder with longer barrel is required. In this way, the cereal dough is kneaded for a long time in the cereal extrusion cylinder to achieve the desired configuration.

IV. The General Flow Chart for Fruit-Shape Cereal Puff Making

• Step 1: Mixing of raw materials
• Step 2: Cereal extrusion and forming
• Step 3: Cooling
• Step 4: Pre-drying
• Step 5: Blending
• Step 6: Seasoning
• Step 7: Drying after seasoning
• Step 8: Cooling before packing
• Step 9: Packing

The specific steps to produce fruit-shaped breakfast cereals with extrusion technology are as follows:

1. Mix rice flour, corn flour(or other grain flour such as oat flour, wheat flour, etc.), water and other raw materials in a certain proportion, and stir evenly.
2. The mixture is loaded into the lengthened extruder, and is kneaded into ideal dough by setting a certain temperature and pressure. Fruit shapeforming die is installed at the exist of the extruder.
3. 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 desired fruit
4. Then the cereal pieces are dried, baked and other processes to make them crunchy. Up to now, the plain flavor fruit breakfast cereal is done.
5. According to market demand, the seasoning drum can be used for the seasoning process.
6. Finally, the seasoned fruit cereals are dried, cooled and packed.
