Effects of Extrusion Conditions on Physical Properties of Sorghum Based Extruded Products

Current Journal of Applied Science and Technology, 2021

Extrusion cooking is a high temperature short time multivariable unit operation. In this study, response surface methodology (RSM) was used to evaluate the effect of feed parameters i.e., feed moisture (8-16%), blend ratio of sorghum:barley:bengal gram, (70:15:15 to 50:35:15) and machine parameters of twin screw extruder i.e., barrel temperature (120-200oC) and screw speed (120-200 rpm) on physical properties of extrudates i.e., mass flow rate, bulk density and moisture content. The results showed that maximum mass flow rate (0.974 g/s) was observed with the blend ratio 60:25:15, having 8 percent moisture (w.b) extruded at 160oC barrel temperature and a screw speed of 160 rpm. The bulk density of extrudates was found minimum (0.08 g/cc) at 10% moisture content, 65:20:15 blend ratio, 180oC barrel temperature and 180 rpm screw speed and the moisture content of extrudates was found minimum (4.74%) at 10% moisture content, 55:30:15 blend ratio, 180oC barrel temperature and 140 rpm screw...

Effect of screw configuration and raw material on some properties of barley extrudates

Journal of Food Engineering, 2009

Twin-screw extrusion was performed to evaluate the potential use of barley grits and barley flour for expanded snack foods. The 2 Â 2 factorial design had two levels of raw material (barley grits and barley flour) and two levels of screw configuration severity (medium and severe). The experimental responses were the following extrudate properties: specific mechanical energy (SME), expansion (SEI), bulk density, water absorption index (WAI), hardness, breaking strength and color. Means of the responses were significantly different for all responses except bulk density and WAI with respect to screw configuration. For raw material, the means of the responses were significantly different for all responses except SEI and WAI. Barley flour extrudates produced by severe screw configuration had significantly lower SME than barley grits extrudates. Severe screw configuration produced more expanded product with low bulk density than that of medium screw configuration. Correlations were found between product responses.

Optimization of Process Parameters for Extruded Sorghum Products

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is an important staple crop in semi-arid regions of India and Africa because of its drought tolerance. This research work was focused on developing sorghum-based extruded snacks and their storage studies. Processing parameters of feed including moisture contents (12%, 14% and 16%), different blend ratios of sorghum, broken rice and green gram flours (7:2:1, 6:3:1 and 5:4:1), operational parameters of the extruder like barrel temperature (110, 120 and 140 0 C) and screw speed (150, 200 and 250 rpm) were optimized for physical and sensory properties of sorghum based extruded products. The maximum value of expansion ratio and minimum bulk density was observed for the sample prepared from sorghum, broken rice and green gram flour in the ratio of 5:4:1 at 110 0 C barrel temperature and 150 rpm of screw. The sensory evaluation of the extrudates showed that products prepared from 5:4:1 blend ratio were more acceptable.

Influence of Extrusion on Functional Properties of Flour from Selected Wheat and Barley Cultivars Grown in Croatia

Poljoprivreda

The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of extruder die temperature (90, 100, 110 °C) and flour moisture (25, 30, 35%) on properties of extrusion-modified flours from wheat (Kraljica, Olimpija) and hull-less barley (GZ-10, GZ-11) cultivars. Flours were extruded in laboratory single screw extruder and micro viscoamylographic, farinographic properties, sedimentation and falling number were determined. The results showed that viscosity values decreased and stability of flours increased after extrusion, both during shearing at high temperatures and regarding retrogradation. Although barley flours were in B2 and C1 quality category before extrusion, after extrusion all flours were within A1 or A2 category. Sedimentation values significantly decreased after extrusion, and falling number depended largely on extrusion conditions. By careful selection of cultivar, flour moisture, and extrusion conditions flours with desired properties may be produced.

Physico- Chemical Analysis of Sorghum based Extruded Products

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is an important staple crop in semi-arid regions of Africa and India because of its drought tolerance. This research work was focused on developing sorghum-based extruded snacks products. Processing parameters of feed including moisture contents (12%), different blends ratios of sorghum, broken rice and green gram flours (7:2:1, 6:3:1 and 5:4:1), operational parameters of the extruder like barrel temperature (110, 120 and 140 0 C) and screw speed (150, 200 and 250 rpm) were optimized for physical and sensory properties of sorghum based extruded products. The maximum value of expansion ratio and minimum bulk density was at 110 0 C barrel temperature at 150 rpm for 3 rd blend. The sensory evaluation of the extrudates showed that samples S 3, S6, S9 were more acceptable.

Effect of extrusion temperature and pre-extrusion particle size on starch digestion kinetics in barley and sorghum grain extrudates

Animal Feed Science and Technology, 2011

Barley and sorghum milled grains were separated into three size fractions (fine, <0.5 mm; medium, 0.5-1.0 mm; coarse, >1.0 mm) and extruded at two temperature levels (maximum of 100 • C or 140 • C), to determine the effect of pre-extrusion fraction size on starch digestibility. Following extrusion, in vitro enzymatic starch digestibility was markedly enhanced with a first order rate, typically ten times greater than before extrusion, but following the same trend i.e. faster digestion for finer pre-extrusion grain sizes. For sorghum, the projected maximum digestibility was also reduced with pre-extrusion grain size. There were only minor differences in digestibility following extrusion at 100 • C compared with 140 • C. Grains were not pre-conditioned, so moisture uptake during extrusion may have been limited, resulting in extrudates containing residual ungelatinized starch granules. It is proposed that the main effect of extrusion processing was to open up the grain endosperm structure, thereby reducing the diffusion path lengths for amylase to digest starch. The results indicate that an efficient use of extrusion processing could be to target separated larger particles from milled grains for re-combination with finer ground grains for improved energy utilization in monogastric feeds.

Properties of extrudates from sorghum varieties

African Crop Science Journal, 2014

Extrusion cooking is a modern high-temperature short-time (HTST) processing technology, which is becoming popular in certain industries because it offers several advantages over other types of cooking processes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the extrusion performance of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) varieties commonly grown in Uganda. Four varieties of sorghum namely, Seso1, Epuripur, Seso3 and Eyera were extruded with and without defatted soy-flour. Physical-chemical properties of the extrudates including, lateral expansion, bulk density, hardness, water absorption index, water solubility index, as well as proximate composition were determined. The extrudates exhibited 240-300% lateral expansion and 0.067-0.095 g cm-3 bulk density. The water absorption index was 6.4-7.9 g g-1 compared to 1.9-2.3 g g-1 of the control; while the water solubility index was 6.5-13% compared to 3.4-5.0%% of the control. Extrusion of all the varieties reduced the peak and final viscosity of the...

Effect of Extrusion Procedure on Selected Grain Parameters in Contrast Wheat Cultivars

2016

In spite of the fact that the majority of registered wheats (Triticum aestivum L.) belonging to cultivars suitable for baking applications, more than 60% of annual Czech wheat production is utilized for feeding. Regarding this fact, a proper extrusion process may offer an improvement of grain feeding quality. The study was aimed at monitoring of grain quality parameter changes in extruded wholemeal from three technologically contrasting cultivars (Elixier, Bodycek, Cimrmanova rana) obtained after 8 different combinations of extrusion processes with variation in water dosage and insertion diameter. Technologically different wheat cultivars significantly changed extrusion temperature. Simultaneously, the extrusion process significantly increased RDS content in starch (from 36 to 86 %). On the contrary, the parameters CP and ADF content showed minimal changes after extrusion. The mild reduction of CF and NDF after extrusion probably included hemicellulose degradation. It is possible to...

Extrusion Conditions Effects Functional and Pasting Properties of Finger Millet

2016

Extrusion Conditions Effects Functional and Pasting Properties of Finger Millet Extrusion is an effective tool for modifying functionality of coarse cereals for various food applications. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to evaluate the effect of different extrusion variables on functional and pasting properties of finger millet. The experiment was conducted using a five level Central Composite Design (CCD).The expansion ratio (EX) of extrudates was found to significantly increase with decreasing feed moisture and increasing barrel temperature. Increasing feed moisture significantly (p 0.05) effects on responses. WAI and WSI of extruded flour increased specifically by 2.0 to 14.0 fold over raw flour. WAI had a significant negative linear association (r=-0.96, p<0.01) with WSI and a positive linear correlation with peak and final viscosity. Results suggest that tailoring extrusion conditions offer opportunity for obtaining finger millet extrudates and pregelatinized flo...

Extrusion of brewers' spent grains and application in the production of functional food. Characteristics of spent grains and optimization of extrusion

Journal of the Institute of Brewing

Brewers' spent grains (BSG) form 85% of the waste products from the brewing process. BSG contain a number of substances with functional benefits and can be used for the production of new food types. The present publication considers the main characteristics of BSG derived from six malt types: light barley malt, Pilsner malt, wheat malt, Munich malt type II, Vienna malt and Carafa malt type III. The spent grain starch content, the degree of starch gelatinization, the phenolic compound content and the antioxidant capacity of the spent grains were examined. Based on the values of the latter three parameters, optimization of a malt mixture was performed, which guaranteed BSG with a maximum total phenolic compound value and maximum antioxidant capacity. It was found that the type and the conditions for malt production influenced the physicochemical composition of brewers' spent grains.
