Abstract Rice flour, wheat flour and flour in combination (rice:wheat::50:50) were used to prepare modified flour using co-rotating twin screw extruder. The effects of barrel temperature, feed moisture and screw speed on product responses (specific mechanical energy[SME], expansion ratio and bulk density) were studied using response surface methodology. Extrusion variables were barrel temperature (125, 150 and 175°C), moisture content (14, 16 and 18%) and screw speed (300, 400 and 500 rpm). Expansion ratio was directly affected by barrel temperature, whereas increase in temperature decreased SME and bulk density. Feed moisture had positive effect on bulk density only, i.e. it increased with increase in moisture. Increase in screw speed was directly related to SME and expansion ratio. The higher R2 values showed that the model developed for the response variables appeared adequate for predictive purposes.

The application of twin screw extrusion (TSE) in the scale-up of cocrystal production was investigated by using AMG 517–sorbic acid as a model system. Extrusion parameters that influenced conversion to the cocrystal such as temperature, feed rate and screw speed were investigated. Extent of conversion to the cocrystal was found to have a strong dependence on temperature and a moderate dependence on feed rate and screw speed. Cocrystals made by the TSE process were found to have superior mechanical properties than solution grown cocrystals. Additionally, moving to a TSE process eliminated the need for solvent.
