Third‐generation snacks obtained by microwave expansion of glassy cereal pellets are often hard and nonuniform and need to be improved to become acceptable to the consumer. Gums such as carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and xanthan gum (XG) have the ability to improve the volume, structure, and texture of expanded cereal products, due to their effects on moisture retention and rheological properties. This study investigates the effect of 1% addition of CMC and XG on the structural and mechanical properties of samples obtained by microwave expansion of glassy corn pellets. Unexpanded, glassy pellets were obtained by extrusion and subsequent equilibration at aw = 0.53 at room temperature. The equilibrated pellets were expanded by microwave heating. The addition of gums significantly improved the shape, structural and textural uniformity of the microwave‐expanded samples. These effects were attributed to the contribution of gums to the rheology and moisture sorption capacity of the matrix. It is our hypothesis that the extended hydrocolloid macromolecules interpenetrated the polymeric starch matrix and created a fine network of “holes” distributed relatively uniformly in the matrix, which served as additional nucleation sites for expansion. The conclusions of this study can be used in the design of high‐quality, fat‐free, third‐generation snacks.  相似文献

The aim of this work was to study the effects of extrusion barrel temperature (75–140°C) and feed moisture (16–30%) on the production of third‐generation snacks expanded by microwave heating. A blend of potato starch (50%), quality protein maize (QPM) (35%), and soybean meal (SM) (15%) was used in the preparation of the snacks. A laboratory single extruder with a 1.5 × 20.0 × 100 mm die‐nozzle and a central composite routable experimental design were used. Expansion index (EI) and bulk density (BD) were measured in expanded pellets, viscosity at 83°C (V83), thermal properties, and relative crystallinity were measured in extruded pellets. EI increased and BD decreased when the barrel temperature was increased, while the feed moisture effect was not significant. V83 increased when feed moisture increased. Extrusion modified the crystalline structures of the pellets and the X‐ray data suggests the formation of new structures, probably due to the development of amylose‐lipid complexes. The maximum expansion of pellets was found at barrel temperatures of 123–140°C, and feed moisture of 24.5–30%. It is possible to obtain a functional third‐generation snack with good expansion characteristics using a microwave oven, and this snack has health benefits due to the addition of QPM and SM.  相似文献

The microwave expansion of glassy, unexpanded amylopectin pellets was studied. Amylopectin was extruded at three levels of specific mechanical energy (483, 809, and 846 kJ/kg), and 35–40% moisture content, without expansion at the die. Glassy pellets were obtained by drying and equilibrating the extrudates at five water activities (aw 0, 0.11, 0.33, 0.67, and 0.75). The pellets were characterized by measuring volume, porosity, and moisture content. The pellets were then expanded in a constant power microwave oven to determine the degree of expansion. When subjected to microwave heating, regardless of extrusion condition and initial aw, the pellets expanded from the center where the highest temperature was recorded and then expansion advanced in the whole volume. Maximum expansion was reached after 30 sec of heating, after which samples started to burn from the center. Samples simultaneously expanded and lost moisture, both processes being faster and more intense for pellets of higher initial aw. No expansion was observed for the pellets stored at aw 0, while collapse was observed for pellets stored at aw 0.73. A linear correlation between pellet expansion temperature and glass transition temperature was obtained. A hypothesis for the microwave expansion of glassy extrudates was formulated and represented on a state diagram.  相似文献

Extrusion with CO2 injection was developed to simplify the process of producing vacuum‐puffed yukwa (rice snacks). The effects of feed moisture content and CO2 injection on the characteristics of extruded pellets (maximum viscosity and degree of gelatinization) and vacuum‐puffed yukwa (expansion ratio, bulk density, hardness, and color) were investigated. Higher feed moisture increased the size of vacuum‐puffed yukwa and the degree of gelatinization, whereas the maximum viscosity decreased. Maximum viscosity and gelatinization degree of extruded pellets were highly correlated with expansion ratio, bulk density, hardness, and color values of vacuum‐puffed yukwa. Increasing feed moisture content significantly increased expansion ratio but decreased bulk density and hardness. CO2 injection decreased bulk density and hardness of vacuum‐puffed yukwa.  相似文献

In various Latin American countries, large volumes of potato are classified as unsuitable for use as food and destined for use as feed. This raw material has a high starch and fiber content that could be used in the production of different kinds of food. The objective of this research was the preparation and characterization of extruded whole potato pellets expanded by microwave heating. A 33 central composite routable experimental design and response surface methodology were used. The barrel temperature (BT, 93–127°C), feed moisture (FM, 19–29%), and corn starch concentration (CS, 3–37%) in the blends were evaluated. CS was the most important variable affecting the functional properties of the expanded pellets. Adding CS to the blends increased the expansion index and viscosity and improved luminosity, decreasing the apparent density and breaking force of the products. Low BT and especially high FM increased the luminosity of the expanded pellets. Increasing FM content increased the viscosity of the expanded pellets. The best functional characteristics for the expanded pellets were obtained using a blend of 63% potato flour and 37% CS, extruded at 110°C BT with 24% FM content. Nonfood-grade whole potato flour showed good potential for use in the production of expanded pellets with acceptable functional properties.  相似文献

The effect of solid fat (melting point 70°C) and liquid fat (melting point ‐20°C) on the microwave expansion of extruded glassy amylopectin pellets was investigated. Glassy, unexpanded amylopectin extrudates containing ≤10% fat were equilibrated at different water activity levels (aw) and then expanded by microwave heating. Expanded products were characterized by analyzing degree of expansion, structure, and texture. For the aw range studied, expansion increased with increasing aw of the pellets until a maximum at aw = 0.605 and then decreased. Completely dehydrated samples did not expand at all. This demonstrated that moisture was the driving force in the microwave expansion of the pellets. The addition of solid fat contributed greatly to expansion. The highest degree of expansion was obtained for pellets containing 6% solid fat at all aw levels. Due to the effect on expansion, the addition of solid fat also affected the microstructure and texture of the expanded products. Concentrations of solid fat >2% resulted in expanded products with a large number of cells, uniform in size, with thin cell walls. Liquid fat addition had a negative effect on microwave expansion. The expanded products obtained from pellets that contained liquid fat had a lower expansion volume and a coarser structure.  相似文献

A heat expansion process similar to that used for expanded bead polystyrene was used to expand starch-based compositions. Foam beads made by solvent extraction had the appearance of polystyrene beads but did not expand when heated due to an open-cell structure. Nonporous beads, pellets, or particles were made by extrusion or by drying and milling cooked starch slurries. The samples expanded into a low-density foam by heating 190-210 degrees C for more than 20 s at ambient pressures. Formulations containing starch (50-85%), sorbitol (5-15%), glycerol (4-12%), ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVAL, 5-15%), and water (10-20%) were studied. The bulk density was negatively correlated to sorbitol, glycerol, and water content. Increasing the EVAL content increased the bulk density, especially at concentrations higher than 15%. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVAL) increased the bulk density more than EVAL. The bulk density was lowest in samples made of wheat and potato starch as compared to corn starch. The expansion temperature for the starch pellets decreased more than 20 degrees C as the moisture content was increased from 10 to 25%. The addition of EVAL in the formulations decreased the equilibrium moisture content of the foam and reduced the water absorption during a 1 h soaking period.  相似文献

Wheat flour with 0.3% (w/w) thiamin was extruded on a twin‐screw laboratory‐scale extruder (19‐mm barrel) at lower temperatures and expanded using carbon dioxide (CO2) gas at 150 psi. Extrusion conditions were die temperature of 80°C and screw speed range of 300–400 rpm. Control samples were extruded at a die temperature of 150°C and screw speed range of 200–300 rpm. Dough moisture content was 22% in control samples and 22 and 25% in CO2 samples. Expansion ratio, bulk density, WAI, and %WSI were compared between control and treatment. CO2 injection did not significantly increase expansion ratio. Bulk densities in the CO2 extruded samples decreased when feed moisture decreased from 25 to 22%. The products using CO2 had lower WAI values than products puffed without CO2 at higher temperatures. The mean residence time was longer in CO2 screw configurations than in conventional screw configurations. Thiamin losses were 10–16% in the control samples. With CO2, thiamin losses were 3–11% at 22% feed moisture, compared with losses of 24–34% at 25% moisture. Unlike typical high‐temperature extrusion, thiamin loss in the low‐temperature samples decreased with increasing screw speed. Results indicate that thiamin loss at lower extrusion temperatures with CO2 injection is highly dependent on moisture content.  相似文献

Response surface methodology was employed to study the functional properties of starch acetate foams blended with 0, 7.5, and 15% wood, oat, and cellulose fibers. The blends were extruded with 14, 17, and 20% ethanol as a blowing agent, using a twin‐screw extruder with 160°C barrel temperature and 225 rpm screw speed. Physical characteristics of the extrudates including radial expansion ratio, unit density, and bulk density; and mechanical properties including unit spring index and bulk spring index were determined. Scanning electron micrographs were taken to observe foam cell textures. Higher fiber content resulted in lower radial expansion. Ethanol content had a positive effect on foam expansion. Higher expansion was obtained in starch acetate‐cellulose foams because better starch acetate‐fiber matrix was formed. Mechanical properties increased with higher fiber and ethanol contents. Micrographs showed that uniform cell structures were associated with better mechanical properties.  相似文献

This study was conducted to develop a ready‐to‐eat extruded food using a single‐screw laboratory extruder. Blends of Indian barley and rice were used as the ingredients for extrusion. The effect of extrusion variables and barley‐to‐rice ratio on properties like expansion ratio, bulk density, water absorption index, hardness, β‐glucan, L*, a*, b* values, and pasting characteristics of extruded products were studied. A central composite rotatable design was used to evaluate the effects of operating variables: die temperature (150–200°C), initial feed moisture content (20–40%), screw speed (90–110 rpm), and barley flour (10–30%) on properties like expansion ratio, bulk density, water absorption index (WAI), hardness, β‐glucan, L*, a*, b* values, and sensory and pasting characteristics of extruded products. Die temperature >175°C and feed moisture <30% resulted in a steep increase in expansion ratio and a decrease in bulk density. Barley flour content of 10% and feed moisture content of <20% resulted in an increased hardness value. When barley flour content was 30–40% and feed moisture content was <20%, a steep increase in the WAI was noticed. Viscosity values of extruded products were far less than those of corresponding unprocessed counterparts as evaluated. Rapid visco analysis indicated that the extruded blend starches were partially pregelatinized as a result of the extrusion process. Sensory scores indicated that barley flour content at 20%, feed moisture content at 30%, and die temperature at 175°C resulted in an acceptable product. The prepared product was roasted in oil using a particular spice mix and its sensory and nutritional properties were studied.  相似文献

A series of cross‐linked (0, 0.014, 0.018, 0.024, and 0.028% POCl3, dry starch basis) hydroxypropylated (8%) corn starches were extruded using a Leistritz micro‐18 co‐rotating extruder. Process variables included moisture, barrel temperature, and screw design. Differential scanning calorimetry and X‐ray diffraction studies showed the level of starch crystallinity decreased with increasing severity of extrusion conditions. Pasting properties of the extruded starches were examined using a Rapid Visco Analyser. Pasting profiles of starches extruded at different conditions displayed different hot paste viscosity and final viscosity. Increasing starch moisture content during extrusion and level of cross‐linking increased starch viscosity (P < 0.0001), whereas increasing extrusion temperature and shear decreased starch viscosity (P < 0.0001). Interactions were found between level of cross‐linking and screw design and between extrusion temperature and starch moisture content (P < 0.0001).  相似文献

The effects of added calcium hydroxide (0.0, 0.15, 0.25, and 0.35%) and processing conditions, feed moisture content (mc) (16, 18, and 20%) and barrel temperature (130 and 150°C) on characteristics of corn meal extrudates were studied. Extruder screw speed was maintained at 130 rpm. Corn meal was extruded with a single-screw extruder (Brabender model GNF 1014/2) with a screw compression ratio of 3:1. The highest values (P < 0.05) for radial expansion and the lowest values for density and breaking force of extrudates were found for the treatment with 0.00% calcium hydroxide extruded at 16% feed mc and 130°C barrel temperature. This treatment was statistically different from the other treatments. Best values for radial expansion of samples extruded with added calcium hydroxide were for the samples with 0.15% calcium hydroxide at 18% feed mc and 130°C barrel temperature, followed by the sample with 0.35% calcium hydroxide at 16% feed mc and 130°C barrel temperature. Water absorption index and water solubility index were affected by calcium hydroxide and extrusion conditions evaluated. Extrudates had large numbers of flattened and sheared granules. Increases in calcium hydroxide increased extrudate yellowness. The combined action of calcium hydroxide and extrusion conditions completely modified the organized structure of the starch and suggest the formation of a starch-calcium complex (crystalline region). The texture of the extruded products was crispy after puffing.  相似文献

We have modeled a rice extrusion process focusing specifically on the starch gelatinization and water solubility index (WSI) as a function of extrusion system and process parameters. Using a twin‐screw extruder, we examined in detail the effect of screw speed (350–580 rpm), barrel temperature, different screw configurations, and moisture content of rice flour on both extrusion system parameters (product temperature, specific mechanical energy [SME], and residence time distribution [RTD]) and extrudate characteristics (expansion, density, WSI, and water absorption index [WAI]). Changes in WSI were monitored to reveal a relationship between the reaction kinetics during extrusion and WSI. Reaction kinetics models were developed to predict WSI during extrusion. WSI followed a pseudo first‐order reaction kinetics model. It became apparent that the rate constant is a function of both temperature and SME. We have developed an adaptation of the kinetic model based on the Arrhenius equation that shows better correlations with SME and distinguishes data from different screw configurations. This adaptation of the model improved predictability of WSI, thereby linking the extrusion conditions with the extruded product properties.  相似文献

Waxy wheat flour was analyzed for its thermal and rheological properties and was extruded to evaluate its potential for extruded products. Normal soft white wheat flour was analyzed with the same methods and same extrusion conditions to directly compare differences between the two types of flour. Through DSC analysis, waxy wheat flour was found to have a higher gelatinization peak temperature of 66.4°C than normal wheat at 64.0°C, although the transition required 2.00 J/g less energy. Rapid visco‐analysis indicated that the waxy wheat flour pasted much more quickly and at lower temperatures than the normal wheat flour. Preliminary extrusion experiments were conducted to determine the optimal screw profile for waxy wheat with respect to maximum radial expansion. The optimum screw profile was used for extrusion trials with varying flour moisture (15–25% wb) and extruder screw speed (200–400 rpm) while monitoring process conditions including back pressure and specific mechanical energy. Physical properties of the extrudates were then studied. The radial expansion ratios of the waxy wheat extrudates exceeded those of the normal wheat extrudates by nearly twice as much, and it was observed that the waxy wheat flour took less energy in the form of fewer shear screw elements to expand. The waxy wheat extrudates also exhibited significantly higher water solubility and less water absorption than the normal wheat extrudates owing to solubilizing of the extrudates. The results of our study indicate that waxy wheat flour may be a viable ingredient for creating direct expanded products with less energy.  相似文献

Increasing demand for seafood products and rising demand for fish meal for commercial fish feeds is driving the search for effective alternative protein sources. Twin‐screw extrusion trials were conducted to study the production of nutritionally balanced feeds for rainbow trout fingerlings (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Six isocaloric (≈4.61 kcal/g) ingredient blends with a target protein content of >45% db were formulated with 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50% distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) and other feed ingredients. The moisture contents of the diets were initially adjusted to 5–7% db, and then extruded at 250 rpm using dual 1.9 mm dies with varying amounts of steam (7.2–7.7 kg/hr) injected into the conditioner and water (4.3–6.5 kg/hr) into the extruder. Mass flow rates, moisture contents, and temperatures were measured during processing and moisture content, water activity, unit density, bulk density, expansion ratio, compressive strength, compressive modulus, pellet durability index, water stability, and color were analyzed to quantify the effects of varying DDGS content on the extrudate physical properties. Significant differences (P < 0.05) among the blends were observed for color and bulk density for both the raw and extruded materials, respectively, and for the unit density and pellet durability index of the extruded products. There were also significant changes in redness and yellowness, but only minor changes in brightness, among the final products with increasing DDGS content. The compressive strength of the extrudates increased significantly with increasing DDGS. Expansion ratio of all pellets was low. All extruded diets achieved very good water stability.  相似文献

Changes in starch at the molecular level during high‐temperature (HT) drying of pasta were studied with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Pasta was manufactured from durum wheat semolina into the shape of spaghetti on a pilot‐plant installation. The HT phase (100°C) was applied at relatively high (27 g/100 g, wb), intermediate (20 g/100 g), and low (15 g/100 g) product moisture, respectively. Spaghetti dried at 55°C served as reference samples. The changes in the thermal properties of starch during drying were dependent on the drying conditions. The gelatinization enthalpy of pasta dried at 55°C was reduced by 30% during drying, which indicates a partial melting of the starch crystallites. With the beginning of the HT phase, the gelatinization enthalpy increased to final values that were close to or higher than those of freshly extruded pasta. In general, HT drying of pasta induced a broadening of the gelatinization range. Starch crystallinity remained unchanged during extrusion and drying at HT. Based on a state diagram of starch and on DSC measurements of pasta during drying, it is hypothesized that HT drying favors molecular rearrangements of starch polymers at the double helical level.  相似文献

莲子热风干燥过程对其淀粉热特性及凝胶化的影响   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  
为解决莲子干燥过程中淀粉形态结构变化造成莲子结壳、硬化,不利于干燥以及复水难、易返生问题,该文利用差示扫描量热技术(differential scanning calorimetry,DSC)对新鲜莲子以及不同热风干燥(70、80、90℃)莲子的淀粉热特性与凝胶化过程进行了研究.研究发现,莲子淀粉在低水分环境(42.2%,以质量比计)时存在2个明显的吸热峰,高水分环境(71.1%,以质量比计)时存在1个明显的吸热峰;莲子在干燥过程中不断失水,并伴随着淀粉凝胶化.方差分析(analysis of variance,ANOVA)表明,高温干燥显著影响莲子淀粉的热特性,其淀粉凝胶化温度(峰起温度To、峰顶温度Tp以及峰止温度Te)部分显著升高.相同干燥条件下,莲子淀粉糊化焓ΔH受水分显著影响,但干燥温度、升温速率对其影响不显著(P>0.01).采用Kissinger、Crane方程获得了淀粉凝胶化动力学参数(活化能Ea、指前因子Z以及反应级数n).莲子淀粉的非等温凝胶化反应可近似为一级反应,高温干燥后其Ea值出现增加,并随着水分增加呈现降低趋势.研究结果可为确定莲子高品质干燥工艺以及干莲子、莲子淀粉后续加工过程提供技术支持.  相似文献

Starch plasticized with water, glycerol, and stearic acid was extruded and sheeted into films 0.4–0.6 mm thick. The ingredients were extruded in a conical twin‐screw extruder at a temperature profile of 50–120–120–120°C and a screw speed of 45 rpm. The effects of glycerol, water, and stearic acid on selected physical and functional properties of the films were studied. The tensile strength, tensile strain at break, and Young's modulus were 0.23–2.91 MPa, 45.79–90.83%, and 2.89–37.94 MPa, respectively. Differential scanning calorimetry thermograms exhibited two glass transitions and multiple melting endotherms, including that of amylose‐lipid complexes formed during extrusion. The enthalpy of gelatinization of starch in the extruded films was 0.7–4.1 J/g and was dependent largely on the plasticizer content. Fourier‐transform infrared spectra revealed significant interactions between the starch and plasticizer but the peaks shifted to higher wave numbers with increasing glycerol content. During extrusion in the presence of glycerol, the A‐type crystalline structure of starch was transformed to B‐type. It also was observed that the Vh crystallinity increased with increase in glycerol content due to tight packing of starch chains. The water vapor permeabilities of the starch films were 12.3–19.9 g·mm/hr·m2·kPa.  相似文献

In this study, attempts were made to improve the characteristics of starch‐based plastic foams by blending starch with polylactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable polymer made from renewable sources. Formulations of the foams (types of starch, ratio of starch to polymer, and moisture content) were optimized. Physical and mechanical properties of the foams, including expansion, unit density, bulk density, water solubility index (WSI), spring index, and compressibility on both single piece and bulk samples were determined. The addition of the PLA polymer to regular (25% amylose) and waxy corn starches significantly improved the physical and mechanical properties of the extruded foams. Foams made from waxy starch had better radial expansions, higher WSI, higher compressibilities, and lower spring indices than those of regular starch foams. Both regular and waxy starches produced foams with similar unit and bulk densities, bulk compressibilities, and bulk spring indices. Increasing PLA polymer contents increased the radial expansions and spring indices and significantly reduced the unit and bulk densities and bulk compressibilities. Changing the PLA content had no significant effect on WSI, compressibilities, and bulk spring indices. Increasing the moisture content adversely affected foam characteristics. The formulation containing waxy starch, 40% PLA, and 19% moisture produced a loose fill foam with the best physical characteristics and mechanical properties.  相似文献
