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. 4, record 1, English, - texturization

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. 3, record 1, French, - texturation

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. 4, record 1, French, - texturation

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. 1, record 2, English, - starve%2Dfeeding

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. 2, record 5, English, - extruded%20cereal
