Abstract

A novel snack food product can be obtained by preparing a corn dough cake through kneading of finely divided corn materials with water, if desired under the addition of rice bran materials derived from Japanese rice wine production and/or defatted soybeans, followed by shaping, drying, baking and seasoning,

Description

~06975~

This invention relates to a novel snack food having rice crackers flavor by incorporating rice bran materials and/or defatted soybeans into finely divided corn materials and the process therefor, more particularly to a novel snack food essentially consisting of corn materials that are inexpensive and provide a controlled superior swelling quality and the process therefor.
As is well known, rice crackers have particular flavour due to the contents of amino acids based on lysine hydrochloride, arginine hydrochloride, alanine, etc. and insufficient content of the above amino acids causes deterio-ration of the product flavour.
Accordingly, in prior art, the starch materials other than rice materials can be used for the production of rice crackers only with the addition of amino acids prepara-tions. Many additives for this purpose are available commer-cially. However, it is known that the conventional amino acid preparations are only effective for up to 40~ content of such substitution materials as corn materials, and thus, substantial replacement by other substitution materials than rice can not be expected by means of such conventional amino acid additives.
Accordingly, the main object of the present invention is to provide a novel process for producing a rice flavoured product from the starch substitution materials other than rice and to provide a novel snack food obtained therefrom.
Recently, the inventor of the present invention has ... .
found that a novel product can be obtained by preparing a corn dough cake by kneading finely divided corn materials with steam, followed by shaping, drying, baking and seasoning, without any addition of rice materials. However, the products obtained have so~e unpleasant and strange smells that must be overcome for successful marketing.

F~ ~
.. -- -- 1 --'1 ~o69754 ~he inventor has also found that rice bran materials derived from the Japanese rice wine production can be applied for imparting the rice flavour to the corn dough cake quite con~eniently and satisfactorily. The products obtained by mixing it with such corn materials ~9 finely divided waxy corn (corn grits) or waxy ~tarch have proved satisfactory rice flavour and desired soft texture.
The rice bran materials obtained from Japanese rice wine production i~ generslly containing-much amount of proteins, fats~ vitamins, etc. than that of the polished grain rices and generally white to red colored depending on the degrees of refined rice wines.
; In the course of Japanese rice wine production, surface portion~ of rice grains should be removed by polishing from rice grain~ depending on a desired level of rice wine refining snd the amount to be polished reaches usually even approximately 60~o of original weight of rice grains. It is much more than that of grained rice polishing for use of conventional rice ~ industries.
: 20 Thus, the rice bran materials obtained from Japanese rice wine production is usually white colored and slightly smells due to the higher content of crude protein, crude fat, ash~ etc~i than those of inner portions of polished rice grains.
~ecause of the unpleasant smell~ and the s~ell-disturbing characteristics, they can not be applied for the conventional rice cracker industries in the prior art and sold as the indu3trial waste very cheaply.
In the following tables, compositions of corn grits and waxy corn starch, and white rice bran materials and polished rice grains are shown for comparisonsO

Further, the inventor has found that defatted soybean powders can be used for eliminating the unpleasant sm~lls and imparting much higher protein content for the corn dough cake together with white rice bran materials. The addition of defatted soybean powders also serves to om;t the evacuation step during steam kneading, and giving the product of much nutrition than conventional rice crackers.
The present invention is thus based on the facts above described and it relates to a novel snack food and to a process for its preparation which comprises homogeneously mixing finely divided corn material selected from the group consisting of waxy corn starch and waxy grits with a sufficient amount of finely divided rice bran having a particle size in the range of lO0 to 300 mesh to impart a rice flavor and ` water; kneading the mixture with steam for about lO minutes at a pressure of 0.3 to 0.7 kg/cm2 to produce a dough cake;
further kneading said dough cake in the absence of steam;
shaping said dough cake; cooling said shaped dough cake; drying 20 said cooled dough cake for about 2 to 5 hours at about 40 to 50 C; swelling said dried dough cake by baking or frying in , oil at 150 to 300C for 2 to 8 minutes, and seasoning said ~, swelled dough cake.
The white rice bran materials obtained from Japanese rice wine production usually ranges from 100 to 300 mesh particle size. According to the process of the present invention, particle size of rice bran materials should be in a range miscible with other starch materials. Ilomogellcous mixing of the raw materials which is usually a mixture of at least two type powders, is particularly important for the present invention. When homogeneous mixing is not attained, homogeneous water distribution in a dough cake texture can not ~ ~ . ...

be expected, thus causing the differences in drying speeds in the dough texture and disturbing homogeneous swelling of the dough cake, resulting in the deteriorated products with cracks or irregular swelling.
The present invention also relates to a process for eliminating the vapor evacuating step by the addition of defatted soybean or defatted peanut and to the products .

Important thing to be noted according to the proce~s of the present invention i9 swelling characteristics, that is the essential matter of the process according to the present invention, Swelling characteristics dependa on the hardness of the surface films formed on the dough cake during the drying step of dough cake and thus the hardness can be determined by means of a~ylography, ~hus, swelling level depend~ mainly on the characteristics of the addit~ves into corn materials.
Accordingly, from the view point of swelling level regulation~ special care should be paid ~or the selection and the characteristic3 of the additives, It is obvious that incorporation of rice bran materials into corn dough cake influences on the swelling characteristics of the product obtained.
~rom the view point of flavour, it is important to increase the amount of rice bran materials to be added, on the other hand, ~rom the ~iew point of the swelling characteristics and the protein content, up to 30~ of rice bran materials may be added to corn materials.
It is also noted that higher drying temperature not only accelerates much film formation on the surface, but also causes amino acid consumption due to the reactions between saccharides, thereby giving a flavour deteriorated product, The embodiments of the inYention will be clarified more in detail by the following examples.
