Starch is one of the most used polysaccharides in formulation Edible Films (EFs). This work aimed to develop starch-based EFs employing extrusion technology as a pretreatment casting technique and evaluate storage relative humidity (RH) effect determine their possible application food coating. Corn starch mixture plasticizers (sorbitol glycerol) were processed twin-screw extruder. The was for f...

Radiotherapy efficacy is often limited by normal tissue toxicity. Standard models to estimate Normal Tissue Complication Probability (NTCP), such as Lyman-Kutcher-Burman (LKB), often rely on parameters derived from the dose-volume histograms (DVHs) which consider organs and tissues to be completely homogeneous with equal sub-volume radiation sensitivities. As a result, they neglect any potentia...

A central composite rotatable design with four independent variables viz. blend ratio (broken rice flour and cowpea flour): 90:10–70:30, moisture content (10–18% wet basis), barrel temperature (110–150 °C), screw speed (280–360 rpm) were varied in the development of ready-to-eat snacks using a twin extruder for broken rice–cowpea product. The effects on specific mechanical energy, water absorpt...

Introduction The food industries play a fundamental role in feeding for the functions of animal metabolism. Fish feed extrusion cooking includes process-independent factors such as temperature (°C), screw speed (RPM), throughput, feed, and moisture content that influence final product's nutritional value physical properties. evidence suggests application hydrolyzed protein flour (HPH) is crucia...
