13. Cylindrical
Rotates in grooved barred made of alloy or stainless steel
Length to diameter ratio 2:1 and 25:1
Typical screw speeds are 150–600 rpm
Compression is achieved by back pressure
Die pressures vary from 2000_103 Pa for low viscosity products
17 000_103 Pa for expanded snack foods

20. When preconditioning is required??
Uniform particle
hydration
Reduces retention times
within the extruder
Increases throughput
Increase the life of the
equipment.
When feed material
contains moisture
content of 20-30%
Preconditioning
favors
24. Die
Give shape to the
final product
Increase internal
pressure of extruder
25. Physico-chemical changes during extrusion
Major changes occur
during extrusion
process are:
1) Changes in
starch
2) Changes in
proteins
3) Changes in
lipid
4) Changes in
fibers
26. General changes during extrusion
Bubbles rapidly expand as the superheated water is released very quickly at atmospheric
pressure
Recombination
Thermal degradation
Fragmentation
loss of native conformation
Cleavage
Binding
27. • Changes in starches
• Gelatinization
its define as ‘the irreversible destruction of crystalline order in starch granules so
that the surface of each molecule is accessible to solvents or reactants
31. Changes in protein
Disulfide bonds are broken and may re-form.
Electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions favor the formation of insoluble
aggregates.
The creation of new peptide bonds during extrusion is controversial
High molecular weight proteins can dissociate into smaller subunits.
Enzymes losses their activity due to high temperature and shear
33. Redistribution of
insoluble fiber to
soluble
Rupture of covalent
and noncovalent
bonds between
carbohydrates and
proteins associated to
the fiber
Resulting in smaller
molecular
fragments, that
would be more
soluble

49. Extrusion Pelleting
An extruder will expand the pellet by
gelatinization of the starch, expansion and
increased porosity thus the reduction of the
density.
A pellet mill shapes the pellets by compression
through long land dies thus the pellet is dense.
No need for the addition of a pellet binder in most
cases.
In most cases, a pellet binder is need in the
formula to facilitate the cohesion of the pellet.
Extrusion allows you to control the buoyancy of
the pellet by the degree of starch gelatinization.
Do not control the buoyancy of the pellet
Extrusion allows you to use higher level of oil or
fat without creating much fines
Does not allows to use high levels of oil or fat
Shaping is only one part of extrusion pellet mill is mainly utilized to shape or produce a
pellet of different shapes.
Editor's Notes
rigidity= the capacity of a solid object to resist its deformation
Puffing… forceful exhaustion of air or passing of air
