Breakfast Cereals and How They Are Made, Third Edition, covers the transformation of a cereal grain across the supply chain—from ingredient to finished product and everything in between.

Key features:

  • Up-to-date, end-to-end overview of production process of cereal products

  • Essential information on ingredients and processes involved in breakfast cereal production

  • Discussion of materials, cooking, and packaging

  • Details about nutrition, quality, and safety

The book is divided into three sections: Breakfast Cereal Crops and Ingredients, General Unit Process Operations and Principles, and Advances in Breakfast Cereals. These sections cover batching and cooking, toasting and tempering, coating, the inclusion of additional ingredients, and packaging information, as well as the chemistry and economics of cereal crops.

Breakfast Cereals and How They Are Made, Third Edition, is an essential resource for product developers working in the cereal industry and for academics and postgraduate students in cereal science and food processing. Like the second edition, this book is valuable as both a general reference and a university-level textbook.
