Rheological Behavior of Honey-Cereal Extrudates as a Function of Extrusion Processing Parameters

چکیده
Extrusion cooking as an attractive process for continuous food production has been extensively developed in recent years. The high temperature–short time extrusion cooking is used in the food industry to produce direct expanded products such as snack foods, breakfast cereals and pet foods (Miller, 1990; Moore, 1994; Rokey, 1994). Extrusion of food material results in starch gelatinization, denaturation of protein, microbial reduction, enzyme activation or inactivation, color and other changes. The extents of these changes are dependent on the conditions of the extrusion. Those changes at the constituents’ level modify the rheological behavior of flour batters (Hagenimana et al., 2006). Refined cereal flours are chiefly utilized in preparation extruded snacks owing to high expansion capability of these cereal flours. However, such refined cereal flours being rich in mere carbohydrate and proteins lack nutritional quality. Hence, in order to provide consumers nutritionally superior extruded snacks, these days, whole grain cereal flours are being increasingly used. Contrary to the refined cereal flours, the whole grain cereal flours produces snacks with decreased expansion and unattractive physical appearance due to high fiber content.

Rheological evaluation of wet masses for the preparation of pharmaceutical pellets by capillary and rotational rheometers.
The rheological properties of wet powder masses used in the preparation of pharmaceutical pellets by extrusion/spheronization were evaluated utilizing capillary and rotational rheometers. A ram extruder was used as a capillary rheometer to construct flow and viscosity curves for each wet mass under different extrusion rates and die geometry. As a result, shear thinning behavior was observed for...
متن کاملStability of Uric Acid Used as an Indicator of Insect Contamination During Extrusion
Cereal Chem. 73(5):625-627 To determine the stability of uric acid during extrusion, wheat flours butylammonium phosphate and ultraviolet detection. It was found that were spiked with uric acid such that the samples had a uric acid content 62-80% of the uric acid in flour survived extrusion, depending on the of approximately 25 ltg of uric acid per gram of flour. The samples were extrusion cond...
متن کاملRheological and Physicochemical Properties of Honeys as a Function of Temperature, Concentration and Moisture Content
In this study the rheological and physicochemical properties of four types of honeys, two poly floral (Mountain, Forest) and two mono floral (Sunflower, Ivy), were investigated. Rheological characteristics of honeys were evaluated at different temperatures (10, 15, 20, 25 and 30ºC). All the honeys exhibited Newtonian behavior for shear rate in the range of 1.045-41.8 s-1. The viscosity of sampl...
