This invention relates to a process for making shelf stable, shaped grain products, whose textures are comprised of visible, fully-cooked cereal grains joined together, and having said grains filled with a water solution containing soluble solids and an antimycotic agent. In the process of the present invention, whole cereal grains such as rice, oats, wheat, or other cereal grains are modified by either flattening the grains with cereal flaking rolls, creating small internal cracks in the grain structure, or cutting the grains into smaller pieces. The cereal grains are then cooked in a water solution with soluble solids and an antimycotic agent at temperatures over 190 F. Binders, such as starch, gums, or pectin are added to either gel the mixture or develop cohesive surfaced grains that become joined together. The cooked cereal grains which are now joined together, are formed into shapes with low shear forming equipment and heated and dried with an oven or hot air until their water activity falls below 0.85.

Cette invention concerne un procédé de confection de produits céréaliers à longue durée de conservation dont la surface grenue se présente sous la forme d'un agrégat de grains de céréale cuits distinctement visibles, lesdits grains étant remplis d'une solution aqueuse de solides solubles et d'agent antifongique. Le procédé objet de l'invention comporte une étape de transformation physique des grains de céréale entiers -- riz, orge, blé ou autre -- soit par aplatissement entre cylindres floconneurs et création de petites fissures internes dans la structure du grain, soit par réduction en morceaux plus petits. Les grains de céréale soit alors cuits dans une solution aqueuse de solides solubles et d'agent antifongique à une température de plus de 190 degrés Fahrenheit. Des liants tels que de l'amidon, des gommes ou de la pectine, sont ajoutés soit pour gélifier le mélange soit pour donner aux grains une texture cohésive favorisant leur agrégation. Les grains de céréale cuits et agrégés sont alors moulés dans une machine de formage à faible cisaillement, réchauffés et séchés dans un four ou par soufflage d'air chaud jusqu'à ce que l'indice d'activité de l'eau chute à moins de 0,85.
