Extrusion Cooking
Extrusion cooking is an ideal method for manufacturing a number of food products from snacks and breakfast cereals to baby foods. However, as a complex multivariate process it requires careful control if product quality is to be maintained. Edited by a leading authority in the field, and with an international team of contributors, this important collection reviews the key factors affecting quality and how they can be controlled in manufacturing a range of extruded products.The first part of Extrusion Cooking looks at general influences on quality. There are chapters on the selection of raw materials, criteria for selecting the right extruder, analysing and optimising thermal performance in extrusion cooking, and effective process control. There is also an important chapter on maintaining nutritional quality in extruded products.The second part of the book looks at the application of extrusion in particular product groups. Each chapter examines the range of extruded products within the product group, the specific production issues and future trends. It also includes chapters on key products such as breakfast cereals, snack foods and baby foods.Extrusion cooking will be widely welcomed as a major reference in maximising the quality of extruded products. - A key reference to improving efficeincy and quality on extruded products
Extrusion Cooking
Extrusion Cooking provides a detailed description of extrusion processing with an in-depth exploration of cereal grains processing. In particular, the book addresses the basic principles of extrusion processing, various extruder parts and their design principles, food ingredients and their characteristics as they relate to extrusion. It also discusses physicochemical changes in the different ingredient components as they are processed in an extruder, modeling and control of extrusion process, scale-up aspects, extrusion plant design, food safety in extrusion, new advancements in extrusion, and a look into the future of extrusion. This valuable text serves as a one-volume reference on extrusion processing for food industry professionals and students. - Covers the engineering, chemistry, nutrition, and food safety aspects of extrusion cooking - Presents both the fundamental and applied aspects of extrusion processing - Details the extrusion of whole-grain, high-fiber, and high-protein foods - Covers both expanded and texturized products - Outlines extrusion processing of different ingredients - Addresses new technologies that have expanded the extruder capabilities - Analyzes new developments in the area of modeling of extrusion processing
Extruders in Food Applications
The result of years of experience by experts in extrusion technology, Extruders in Food Applications brings together practical experience and in-depth knowledge of extrusion cooking technology. The book summarizes basic considerations for the application of extrusion technology to food industry processes and focuses on the types of extruders available for a growing number of food applications. Chapters compare and describe the types of extruders and their functions and applications, providing a wealth of information. This is a valuable resource for the technical and practical application of extrusion and will be useful for the selection of the proper equipment for this technology.
