Formulation
Carbohydrate
Protein
Lipids
Minor Ingredients
Starch Gelatinization
Requires
– Moisture
– Elevated temperature
– Retention Time
Proteins
Denature when heat treated– Lose solubility
– Lose enzymatic activity
– Improves digestion
Level of heat treatment– Affects “functionality”
– Affects processing characteristics
Lipids
Level of indigenous or added lipids affects:
– binding and texture of product
– quantity of energy mechanically added to product
Minor Ingredients
Minerals
Vitamins
Pigments
Flavors
Processing Aids
Note: Vitamin, Pigment, and Flavor Potency is effected by energy (in the form of heat), moisture, and retention time in the process.
Extrusion Processing Technologies for Snack
Dry Extruders (Short Time / High-Temperature Extruders)
Expander/Cooker Extruders
Single Screw Extrusion Cookers
Twin Screw Extrusion Cookers
Types of Extruder Single screw
– Simpler and cheaper
– Limited mixing and flexibility
– Range of raw materials limited
– Low tolerance to lipids in raw materials and moisture variations
– Low tolerance to moisture variations in raw materials
Twin-screw
– Flexible, wide range of raw materials
– High level of micro-mixing
Extruder Die Provides resistance at discharge of extruder
Shapes product
Ist Generation Snacks
Nuts, dried fruit, cracker,potato chips, tortilla chips
2nd Generation Snacks
Majority fall in this category
Puffed collets,
Baked or Fry
Expanded snacks (2nd generation)
3rd Generation Snacks
3-G , half products
Puffed later by hot air, frying, ormicrowave
Snack pellets (3rd generation)

What are half-products?
• Dense, dry, shelf-stable, cooked pellets that are expanded some time after formation into crunchy or crispy snack products
• They are “half” or partially made, then finished later
Other names for half-products…
• Third generation snacks (3G snacks)
• Snack pellets
• Indirect expanded snacks
1st Generation 2nd Generation 3rd Generation
Benefits of the half-product production method
• Good shape definition not possible with direct expansion
• Product textures not possible with direct expansion
• Can use raw materials not compatible with the direct expansion process
• Can process in one location, then ship dense pellets to a location closer to the market for puffing, coating, and packaging
Disadvantages of the Half-product Production Method
• Much greater equipment cost
• More complex operations
• Final product result not seen for at least one hour later making it difficult to provide real-time feedback
• More flexibility = greater complexity!!

Different Cooking Methods
1. Use of pre-gelatinized materials and cold former
2. Batch cooking followed by sheeting
3. Single screw cooker with single screw former
4. Twin screw cooker with single screw former
5. Twin screw cooking/forming combination process
Snack Pellets
• More complex shapes
• More complex raw material blends
• More complex process•
• Stable, shelf stable pellet that is puffed later

Traditional Pasta
Produced by low temperature extrusion
Not cooked or gelatinized
Must be boiled for reparation
• Produced by moderate temperature extrusion
• Fully cooked or gelatinized
• Not necessary to boil for preparation
• Hot water hydration -- 5 to 10 minutes
• Cold water hydration -- 20 to 60 minutes
• Microwaveable

Advantages of the Extrusion Cooking Process for Production of Precooked Rice
Utilization of cracked and broken kernels Cooking / Preparation
– ½ Cooking time of regular rice– Easily stored and reheated after cooking– Hydrates in cold water
Fortification– Vitamins and Minerals
Uniqueness– Flavors– Pigments and Colors– Shapes
