ABSTRACT:
Shredded oat cereals having the unique shredded appearance and eating qualities of shredded wheat are obtained by the process of the present invention. White streaks in the final product, which result from uncooked grain or over-gelatinization, are eliminated by a multi-stage pressure cooking step, using different amounts of water in each stage. The multi-stage pressure cooking step avoids excessive extraction of water soluble gums and starches and is followed by a cooling step which stops further cooking, partially dehydrates the cooked grain and produces a non-sticky surface on the cooked grain. The non-sticky surface permits movement of the cooked oats through material handling equipment. No tempering of the cooked oats is required before shredding. The cooled product is dried, shredded, and baked. Whole oat groats are preferably used in the multi-stage pressure cooking step of the present invention. Shredded cereals made from other grains, mixtures of other grains, or mixtures of oats with other grains, can be made in the process of the present invention with little, if any, tempering.
