Cereal Chem. 94(3):385-391Extrusion expansion characteristics of commercially available whole flours from three green pea varieties (Ariel, Aragorn, and Daytona) and three yellow pea varieties (Carousel, Treasure, and Jetset) were investigated with a corotating twin-screw extruder. Feed moisture content was kept constant at 15 ± 0.5% (wb). Two barrel temperature levels of 140 and 160°C and three screw speed levels of 150, 200, and 250 rpm were studied. A round die with an opening of 3 mm was used. The radial expansion ratio (ER) of whole pea extrudates was 2.75-3.34. It was shown † Corresponding
