Puffed food machinery equipment - Jinan Datong Machinery Equipment

Puffed food is a new type of food that has developed internationally in recent years. It uses grains, legumes, potatoes, vegetables, etc. as raw materials, processed through puffing equipment to produce various foods with a delicate texture, rich nutrition, and crispy taste.

Due to differences in usage and equipment, puffed foods can be divided into three categories.

First, snack foods are produced using an extrusion puffing machine with corn and potatoes as raw materials.

The second type uses plant protein as raw material to produce textured protein food (plant-based meat) through a food puffing machine.

The third is to use grains, legumes, or potatoes as raw materials, which are then puffed to make staple foods. In addition to the trial production of indirect heating extruders, various puffed foods have been made using refined powdered puffed flour.

Advantages of puffed food:

1. Improved texture: After coarse grains are puffed, the rough and hard structure is broken down, making the coarse grains invisible and no longer difficult to eat. The texture becomes soft, the taste improves, and it becomes delicious.

2. Easy to eat: After coarse grains are puffed, they become cooked food that can be directly consumed with boiling water, made into compressed food, or further processed into various foods. It is easy to eat and saves time. As long as food departments, factories, mines, enterprises, institutions, or schools supply puffed flour, it can be processed at home or in collective canteens to become convenient food.

3. The preservation rate and digestibility of nutrients are relatively high during the puffing process, with a high nutrient preservation rate. The high preservation rate and digestibility of nutrients in puffed foods indicate that the puffing process has no effect on food nutrition, and the digestibility of puffed foods is higher than that of non-puffed foods.

4. Easy to store: Grain puffing is equivalent to high-temperature sterilization, reducing the moisture content of the puffed powder to below 10%. This low moisture level limits the growth of insects and molds, enhancing their stability during storage. It is suitable for long-term storage and improves eating quality.
