Abstract:

Drying technology plays an important role in the quality control of nutritional engineering cereals. By the means of single factor and orthogonal tests, the optimal parameters for drying nutritional engineering cereals were determined as follows: drying temperature 50 ℃, wind speed 0.4 m/s and loading amount 1.0 kg/m2. Also, the cooking technology of nutritional engineering cereals was discussed. Results showed that the taste was nice when soaking the cereals with water (1:1, m/m) for 20 -40 min, and then cooking the mixture, after cooking holding the temperature for 15-30 min.

Key words: nutritional engineering cereal, drying, cooking, texture characteristics
