The production process of puffed corn strips mainly includes the following steps:
Raw material processing: Firstly, select high-quality corn as the raw material. Corn kernels undergo cleaning and impurity removal to ensure the purity of the raw materials
Crushing and mixing: Crush the selected corn kernels and mix them with water and nutritional additives to form a dough of a certain thickness. A certain amount of starch needs to be added during this process to ensure molding
Puffing: The mixed dough is fed into a puffing machine and extruded under high temperature and pressure conditions. The puffing machine uses high-temperature and high-pressure extrusion to instantly expand the corn dough, forming fluffy particles. This process requires precise temperature and pressure control to ensure that each puffed corn grain achieves the best taste
Drying and cooling: The puffed particles need to be dried and cooled to remove excess moisture and stabilize the texture of the product. This step is crucial for maintaining the crispy texture of the productGrinding and packaging: Finally, grind the puffed corn kernels and cut them into strips as needed. The ground corn strips are packaged to become the familiar puffed corn strip products
Equipment selection and maintenance:
Puffing machine: Choosing an efficient and stable puffing machine is key, as it can handle a large amount of raw materials and ensure the puffing effect. Before operation, it is necessary to clean and preheat the equipment to ensure that the temperature and pressure of the machine head and screw shaft reach the optimal state
Drying equipment: Choose equipment that can evenly dry products to avoid excessive or insufficient drying, which can affect product quality.
Quality control and food safety:
Temperature control: Temperature control is crucial throughout the entire production process, as temperatures that are too high or too low can affect the quality and taste of the product.
Raw material quality: Choosing high-quality raw materials and ensuring their purity can effectively improve the quality of the final product.
Equipment cleaning: Regularly clean the equipment to prevent residue accumulation and ensure the hygiene of the production environment, thereby ensuring food safety
