BROKEN MAIZE (Makka Tukdi)
Broken Maize: The Versatile Ingredient for Corn-Based Snacks
Introduction:
Broken maize also known as Makka Tukdi, a processed form of corn, is an essential ingredient in the production of popular snacks like corn puffs, corn rings, and the traditional Indian snack, Ponga (Pola). Produced by milling whole maize kernels, it offers unique characteristics that contribute to the texture and flavor of these beloved snacks. We specialize in providing high-quality broken maize in two distinct grind sizes: 2mm and 3mm, catering to various snack manufacturing needs.
Characteristics
Texture: Broken maize exhibits a coarse, granular texture. The grind size significantly impacts the final product’s texture. 2mm broken maize yields a finer, smoother texture, ideal for products requiring a smooth, consistent texture. 3mm broken maize provides a coarser, more robust texture, suited for products requiring a more substantial, crunchy texture.
Color: The color of broken maize typically ranges from a light yellow to a golden yellow, depending on the variety of maize used. This color contributes to the appealing visual presentation of the final snack.
Grind Size:
- 2mm: Fine granules, ideal for a smooth, consistent texture.
- 3mm: Coarse granules, ideal for a more substantial, crunchy texture.
Applications
Corn Puffs: Our Broken Maize is used in manufacturing corn puffs, lending a light, airy texture with a satisfying crunch.
Corn Rings: Broken Maize is also used in manufacturing of smooth, consistent rings with a delicate texture.
Ponga (Pola): Both 2mm and 3mm can be utilized depending on the desired texture of the Ponga. The 3mm is used more frequently to achieve a traditional coarse texture.
