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

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
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
• Changes in starches
• Gelatinization

that the surface of each molecule is accessible to solvents or reactants
Gelatinization
is brought by
Moisture

Gelatinization

phases

Phase 2
Phase 3

changes
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

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

  • #17 rigidity= the capacity of a solid object to resist its deformation
  • #19 Puffing… forceful exhaustion of air or passing of air
  • #21 Throughput = rate of production
