Comparative study of mixing elements during twin-screw extrusion of rice flour

Effect of screw configuration and raw material on some properties of barley extrudates

“…Changing screw configuration by adding more kneading elements and single lead feed screw increased SME. Similar results were observed by Kollengode et al (1996) and Choudhury and Gautam (1998). Choudhury and Gautam (1998) found that SME input increased by 2-6Â upon incorporation of kneading elements in the screw profile.…”

Performance Evaluation of Floating Fish Feed Extruder

“…A Philip Essence HR 2394 measuring balance made in Hungry was used in weighing the extrudates before and after the drying and allowed to cool in a desiccators to determine the loss in weight which also represents moisture loss. Expansion Ratio: This was determined according to [11] were extrudates are measured using Vernier caliper and the radial expansion ratio calculated from the formula below:…”

Functional properties of corn and corn–lentil extrudates

“…The effect of extrusion conditions on functional properties of various cereal products (corn, rice and wheat) has been investigated (Artz, Warren, & Villota, 1990;Choudhury & Gautam, 1998;Ding, Ainsworth, Plunkett, Tucker, & Marson, 2006;Ding, Ainsworth, Tucker, & Marson, 2005;Gomez & Aguilera, 1983;Kadan, Bryant, & Pepperman, 2003;Sacchetti, Pinnavaia, Guidolin, & Rosa, 2004). Generally, functional properties of extrudates are related with the molecular modifications that occur during extrusion cooking.…”
