Highlighting the versatility and efficiency of extrusion cooking, this comprehensive introduction offers the most up-to-date information available. It emphasizes recent advances in extrusion technology and extruder systems and instructs in the proper selection of raw materials and extruders. Describing the advantages and disadvantages of extrusion versus other methods, it covers the use of extrusion to develop new products such as cereal-based snacks, baby foods, pasta products, breakfast cereals, texturized protein, and modified starch from cereals. It provides practical troubleshooting advice and discusses the modification of functional properties of foods through extrusion.
A fresh view of the state-of-the-art, Advances in Food Extrusion Technology focuses on extruder selection, extrudate development, quality parameters, and troubleshooting in the 21st century extrusion process. In particular, the book:
- Introduces the history, nomenclature, and working principles of extrusion technology
- Presents an overview of various types of extruders as well as parts and components of an extruder for design considerations
- Discusses extruder selection and design, fluid flow problem with different types of raw materials, and heat transfer and viscous energy dissipation, with advantages and limitations for particular cases
- Emphasizes recent research while providing an overview of trends previously reported in the literature
- Covers the coinjection of food substances into an extruder die with the objective of creating defined colored patterns, adding internal flavors, and achieving other food injection applications into cereal-based extruded products
- Describes thermal and nonthermal extrusion of protein products
Discussing the influence of design and raw materials on extruder performance and nutritional value, this book covers current and developing products from cereal-based snacks to pet food. In addition to the usual benefits of heat processing, extrusion offers the possibility of modifying and expanding the functional properties of food ingredients. Designed for both the active and future food scientist, this book is an exciting addition to a creative and ever-evolving field.
