Abstract:

Disclosed are ready-to-eat cereals containing high levels of psyllium husk and methods for their preparation. The cereals contain about 2% to 37% psyllium, about 20% to 80% of a starchy cereal component, and about 5% to 15% insoluble fiber. The weight ratio of soluble to insoluble fiber ranges from about 1 to 5:1. The total fructose content is less than about 5%. The minimum soluble fiber content is 3 g/oz.

International Classification:

A23L 118

US Classification:

426 93

Abstract:

Disclosed are puffed, barley based ready-to-eat breakfast cereal products having a high soluble fiber content. The cereal products are characterized by specific densities of about 0. 2 to 0. 35 g/cc. The soluble fiber content of the cereal compositions is about 3 g/oz or about 10%. The insoluble fiber content is less than about 1. 5 g/oz or about 5%. The soluble fiber to insoluble fiber ratio is at least about 2:1. The total insoluble fiber content is less than about 19%. The total fat content of the puffed cereal is less than about 4%. The cereal comprises about 15% to 90% of a barley flour fraction high in soluble fiber. Also disclosed are processes for preparing the puffed barley R-T-E cereals.
