Abstract:
The invention provides cereal snackfoods of the expanded variety such as crisps and the like. The snackfoods of the invention comprise discrete cooked portions of a dough composition comprising gelatinized starch and added cereal bran other than rice bran, in which the amylolytic activity of the bran is controlled, and contain at least about 5% by weight and generally no more than about 35% by weight of oil or fat. The snackfoods may be produced from a half product comprising at least some gelatinized starch and added cereal bran by frying or by immersion in a bed of hot particulate material followed by spraying with fat or oil. Even when fried the snackfoods have a lower energy value than comparable known products; moreover they are highly palatable, and the bran content provides a useful source of fibre in any diet.
