FOOD EXTRUDER [5 records]

Record 1 2025-02-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Food Industries
  • Collaboration with the FAO
CONT

In a twin-screw extruder, mechanical shear forces, heat, and pressure cause considerable changes in the molecular structures of the dairy proteins, a process known as texturization. These changes further impart unique functional properties to dairy proteins, resulting in new protein-based food ingredients. The new functional behavior depends on the extent of texturization and the degree of structural change imparted and is controlled by adjusting parameters such as extrusion temperature and moisture level.

Key term(s)
  • texturisation
  • texturising

French

Domaine(s)
  • Industrie de l'alimentation
  • Collaboration avec la FAO
DEF

Opération qui consiste en des modifications physico-chimiques de la matière première de manière à la structurer lors du passage à travers d'une filière ou à sa sortie et à lui conférer des propriétés en rapport avec les critères d'évaluation sensorielle.

CONT

La texturation permet de valoriser certains produits de l'industrie agroalimentaire (protéines végétales, poissons, sous-produits des laiteries, des abattoirs, etc.) en leur conférant une texture proche de celle des aliments naturels (viande, chair du crabe, par exemple). La texturation comporte trois étapes. Les molécules de protéines, qui se présentent sous forme de pelotes, sont d'abord déroulées, puis orientées parallèlement les unes aux autres. Enfin, l'ensemble est consolidé par création de liaisons entre les molécules.

Subject field(s)
  • Industrial Techniques and Processes
  • Food Industries
CONT

Food extruders are often starve-fed, which means the feed input to the extruder is controlled externally with an independent feeder and is less than the maximum throughput for a given screw speed. The effect of starve-feeding on the pressure profile during potato granule extrusion is apparent in the fact that the pressure build-up in the extruder only occurs near the die when the screw channels are full of material.

Key term(s)
  • starve feeding

DEF

Régime d'un extrudeur dans lequel le débit d'alimentation est inférieur au débit d'avalement.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Food Industries
CONT

In its simplest form water included in the material may become superheated in the extruder barrel and is released as steam at the die expanding the viscous food material and giving many products a cellular structure.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Industrie de l'alimentation
DEF

Organisation spatiale de type cellulaire d'un produit extrudé qui se caractérise par la présence de bulles d'air résultant de la vaporisation et de l'expansion en sortie de filière.

OBS

La présence de bulles rend le produit final croustillant, poreux et de faible masse volumique (kg/m³).

Special emphasis is placed on recent applications including candy making, co-extruded products, extrusion efficiency, pretreatment of starch for enzyme hydrolysis, extrusion of oil seeds for solvent extraction and twin-screw extrusion applications.... It has developed from its initial roles of mixing and forming as applied to macaroni production to the point where the food extruder is now considered a high-temperature-short-time bioreactor which transforms a variety of raw ingredients into modified food ingredients and finished food products.... Initial applications of the food extruder involved its use to reform degermed cereal grits into macaroni, snacks and ready-to-eat cereals.... Filled snacks which contain an oil emulsion filling, RTE cereals with a fruit gel or fruit flavored component, and pet foods containing multicolored textured pieces to simulate bones or other meat products are examples.
