Zusammenfassung:A process for producing a fortified cereal grain is disclosed, comprising the steps of mixing rice flour with citric acid, oil, water, and an at least one fortificant to obtain a rice flour mixture; extruding the rice flour mixture at 70 to 140øC through an extrusion die to obtain kernels approximately the size of rice grains; drying the kernels at about 65øC for about 30 minutes; mixing the dried kernels with a cereal grain to obtain the fortified cereal grain product, wherein the ratio by weight of the dried kernels versus the cereal grain is from 1:50 to 1:300; and packing the fortified cereal grain product.
