Abstract

Food products for long storage at room temperature are prepared by a process of: drying food ingredients until the water content thereof is less than 15 wt %, heating fats and/or oils which form solids or semi-solids at room temperature until the contents are melted completely whereupon the contents are then cooled to prepare a fatty liquid, impregnating the fatty liquid into the dried ingredients and sealing the products in small packages. The water activity of the products is regulated in a range of 0.55 to 0.75 in order to inhibit the generation of microorganisms.
