“…Another study on the extrusion of the whole lentil showed that the highest ER (2.32) was achieved at feed moisture of 15%, a temperature of 150 °C, and a screw speed of 300 rpm; however, the screw profile was not provided (Ghumman, Kaur, Singh, et al., 2016). Interestingly, the Richlea lentil variety in this study had a greater range of ER (2.55 to 3.60) compared with the data from the literature on whole lentils (1.3 to 3.27), dry peas (2.70 to 3.34), and beans (1.41 to 3.03) (Ghumman, Kaur, Singh, et al., 2016; Gu et al., 2020; Pietrysiak et al., 2020; Rathod & Annapure, 2016). It is important to note that different extrusion conditions, such as feeding rate, screw profile, die diameter, temperature, moisture content, all contribute to the range of extrusion characteristics of raw material because extrusion processing is a Multiple Input Multiple Output system (Eerikäinen et al., 1994; Ganjyal et al., 2006).…”
