Abstract

An improved method for the production of extruded cereal grain-based fried food products having improved qualities is provided. In the improved method, the cereal grain-based food product is formed by extrusion of a cereal grain dough mass containing a gum such as carboxymethyl cellulose and optionally a protein, followed by frying the extruded cereal grain dough to produce a fried cereal grain food product having reduced gumminess or toothpacking and grittiness.
