Sweet Snacks and Breakfast-Cereals

Innovative shapes combined with taste and nutrition With increasing consciousness about healthy eating, cereals, especially extruded cereals, are becoming a standard feature in many households. “Rice-crispies”, “Fruit rings”, “cocoa cereal flakes” are some of the more common extruded cereals. A cereal like product in single piece bite size positioned for consumption alone and as a snack is a sweet snack. Raw-materials: Unlike many single cereal based conventional products, extrusion can be used to produce multi-cereal products with better nutritional balance. Similarly special nutritional requirements of specific group of consumers can be met through suitable selection of the raw-materials. Extruded products can be made in attractive shapes to increase their acceptability among children and introduce the concept of health with fun. Process: Production of cereals is usually a multi-stage process.
