  • Process for the production of a fiber containing cereal product
    Patent number: 5188860
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved process for the production of a fiber containing ready to eat cereal product of improved texture and appearance. The process involves the addition of a fiber source to a moistened and cooked grain mixture during the pelletization of the mixture. The pellets of the fiber containing mixture are then formed into a suitable shape for the ready to eat cereal product, such as a flake. The addition of the fiber source during pelletization of the mixture avoids any textural and appearance problems that might result if the fiber is added during the cooking or tempering step.
