Adding value, improving nutrition...

Cereals have always played an important part in balanced nutrition. However in the raw state cereals and seeds contain an inaccessible starch structure, which is indigestible. To open up the nutrients, the starch must be processed in to smaller “sugar” molecules known as gelatinized starch.

 
 

Nutridigest technology is a highly reliable and consistent “short time, high temperature” process using humidity, infrared energy and mechanical pressure to achive high levels of starch gelatinisation and elimination of anti-nutritional factors without any significant water loss. Infrared energy is the same type of energy we get naturally from the sun. Applied to selected grains and pulses, process results in improved ingredients for the food industry.Infrared energy makes the starch softer and turgid, causing it to swell, fracture andgelatinize. Immediate rolling or flaking enhances digestibility and high nutritional value.

The palatibility improvement achieved by converting the starches to sugar strongly enhances their flavour compared to other processes.

Flakes processed by this technology have an attractive appearance, are dust free with excellent color retention.
