Consumer preferences in east Asian part of the world pave the way for consumption of lotus stem starch (LSS) in preparations such as breakfast meals, fast foods, and traditional confectioneries. The present study envisaged the investigation and optimization of additives, that is, acacia gum, sodium chloride (NaCl), and sucrose, on water absorption (WA), water absorption index (WAI), and water solubility index (WSI) of LSS employing response surface methodology (RSM). Acacia gum resulted in increased water uptake and swelling of starch; however, NaCl reduced the swelling power of starch by making water unavailable to starch and also due to starch-ion electrostatic interaction. Sucrose restricted the water absorption by binding free water and decreased amylose leaching by building bridges with starch chains and thus forming rigid structure.

In recent years, the demand for snacks with optimal functional and nutritional properties has a dramatic increased; hence researching in this regard is considered as an essential task. Almond, is one of the nuts kernel and an important source of nutrients, especially fats, fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals such as iron and calcium. Using this seeds nut in expanded products not only improves the nutritional properties but also it causes to produce a product with optimal functional features. As the screw rate and humidity level have a great effect on the properties of extruded products. In this study, defatted almond flour –corn flour blends (20 - 80) were extruded in a co-rotating twin-screw extruder. Response surface methodology using a central composite design was used to evaluate the effects of independent variables, namely screw rate (120–220 rpm) and humidity level (12–16%) on functional properties (water absorption index, water solubility index and oil absorption index). Based on the process optimization maximum water absorption is 6.54085, water solubility is 25.6472 and oil absorption is 3.09778 that was belong to the production of screw rate 209.17 rpm and the 14% humidity.

Physicochemical And Functional Properties

Flours with different physicochemical and functional properties were obtained from malted corn. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to study the effects of malting time (1,3, 5 days), malting temperature (20, 25, 30º C) and gibberelic acid concentration (0.0; 0.5; 1.0 %) on these properties. The chemical composition and paste viscosity of flours were significantly affected by malting time and temperature, while water solubility index (WSI) and water absorption index (WAI) varied only with malting time. Gibberelic acid did not significantly influenced any of the studied properties. Germination at 20-25ºC for 3 days was recomended to obtain corn flour with high WAI, low viscosity and medium WSI, without excessive loss of proteins.

Dehydrated carrot pomace was added in different proportions (10-30%) to rice flour. The formulation was extruded at different moisture content (17-21%), screw speed (270-310 rpm) and die temperature (110-130°C). The experimental combinations were decided based on central composite rotatable design for four variables at five levels of each variable. The lateral expansion, bulk density, water absorption index, water solubility index, hardness and sensory characteristics were measured as responses. Significant regression models were established with the coefficient of determination, R² greater than 0.70. The results indicated that pomace proportion, screw speed and temperature significantly influenced (P<0.10) lateral expansion; moisture content and screw speed for bulk density; pomace proportion and temperature for water absorption index and water solubility index, pomace proportion, screw speed and temperature for hardness and screw speed for sensory score. The compromised optimum condition obtained by numerical integration for development of extrudates were: carrot pomace of 11.75% in rice flour, moisture content 19.92%, screw speed 249.1 rpm and die temperature 114.3°C. Sensory evaluation revealed that carrot pomace could be incorporated into ready-to-eat expanded products upto the level of 11.75%.

Extrusion of corn semolina milled with cocoa shells using a single screw extruder “BRABENDER 20 DN” was carried out. Full factorial experimental 22 was used to investigate the effects of the quantity of cocoa shells and moisture of the material on the water absorption index (WAI) and water solubility index (WSI). Working screw speed and feed screw speed were fixed at 200 and 40 rpm, respectively. Compression ratio of the screw was fixed at 4:1. Temperatures of the first, second and third zone were 150, 155 and 160 °C. Water absorption index values range were between 6.71 and 7.6 g/g and the water solubility index between 25.38 and 35.33 %. The increase in moisture content and quantity of cocoa shells leads to an increase in water absorption index and a decrease in water solubility index. Practical applications: Cocoa shells in an amount of up to 10% can be used in the production of extrudates by mixing with corn semolina. Water absorption index values range between 6.71 and 7.6 g/g and the water solubility index between 25.38 and 35.33 %. The resulting regression models can be used to optimize the process. In general, results show that cocoa shells can be mixed with corn semolina for the production of extrudates, which allows us to recommend extrusion processing of cocoa shells as an alternative technology in utilization processing of raw cocoa materials.

Fish Protein Hydrolysate

Malnutrition is still a major problem in Indonesia, particularly stunting and acute malnutrition due to protein deficiency. In contrast, Indonesia is rich in protein sources such as fish but they are poorly utilized. Biologically processed fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) has proven to be highly nutritious and digestible. Our preliminary study in developing the High Protein Complementary Food (HPCF) formula for infant enriched with FPH, showed that of 17 formulas, 3 formulas was the best. This study was aimed to analyzing sensory analysis using the hedonic test, physical analysis and absorption protein. The result shows that the hedonic test of FPH-enriched HPCF infant food revealed that the product was acceptable in term of colour, aroma and texture. In comparison to the commercial product, FPH-enriched instant HPCF infant product had higher bulk density. The highest Water Absorption Index (WAI) was F1-C, the highest Water Solubility Index (WSI) was F1-P, and the lowest rehydration was F2-P. Compared to commercial products, the instant FPH-enriched HPCF baby porridge has a bulk density that is greater than that of commercial products. The highest Water Absorption Index (WAI) was F1-C, the highest Water Solubility Index (WSI) was F1-P and the lowest time for Rehydration was at F2-P. HPCF enriched with FPH showed the best protein absorption significantly in the P2 treatment group

Considering the importance of cassava starch for Brazilian industries, the current work aimed at evaluating the effects of extrusion parameters on the physical characteristics, mainly viscosity properties of extruded cassava starch. A factorial central composite design (2³) with three independent variables and the response surface methodology were used to evaluate the results of expansion index, specific volume, water absorption index, water solubility index, color and paste properties, according to the variations in the moisture content, barrel temperature and screw speed. Results indicated that barrel temperature influenced the expansion index, specific volume, water absorption index, all the color parameters, the initial viscosity, peak and final viscosity. Feed moisture influenced the specific volume, color parameters, final viscosity and retrogradation. The screw speed had effects on water absorption index, color components as well as on the final viscosity and retrogradation of extruded starch. High moisture, low screw speed and intermediate temperature provided lower starch degradation, which is desirable for pre-cooked starch.

Purpose This paper aims to optimize feed moisture contents, barrel temperatures, blending ratios of maize and lupine for processing of protein-rich best quality extruded product using a twin-screw extruder. Design/methodology/approach A three-factor three-level response surface methodology by Box-Behnken Design was applied to evaluate the effect of selected processing conditions of blending ratios of lupine (10-20 per cent), barrel temperatures (120°C-150°C) and feed moisture content (14-18 per cent) on functional, nutritional and sensory characteristics of produced snack food. Findings The results of functional properties such as radial expansion ratio, bulk density, water absorption index, water solubility index observed as 0.71-1.2, 0.33-0.92 g/cc, 4.4-6.4 per cent and 10.2-15.1 per cent, respectively. The snack food showed the moisture 5.6-7.2 per cent, protein 8.1-18.1 per cent, fiber 1.6-2.7 per cent, ash 1.6-2.2 per cent and carbohydrate 64.8-81.4 per cent. The independent variables (lupine blending ratio, barrel temperature and feed moisture content) posed significant effects on expansion ration (p = 0.0030), bulk density (p = 0.0026), water absorption index (p = 0.0075) and water-solubility index (p = 0.0116). Higher blending ratio of lupine was increase in the bulk density and water solubility index, but decrease in expansion ratio and water absorption index of snack food. Higher feed moisture content was led to a reduction in expansion ratio and water-soluble index of snack food. Whereas, higher feed moisture contents was lead to rise in bulk density and water absorption index. Fiber (p = 0.0145), ash (p = 0.0343) and carbohydrate (p = 0.0001) contents were significantly depended on blending ratio. Blending of lupine 15.06 per cent, barrel temperature of 150 °C and feed moisture content of 14.0 per cent produced the snack food with desirability value of 72.8 per cent. Originality/value Protein malnutrition is one of the major problems in child development in under developed countries including Ethiopia. Maize is a top producer in the country but least appreciated for cost. Lupine is one of the undervalued produce consumed in Ethiopia after boiling. Still data on the utilization of maize and lupine in the extruded snack preparation was very limited. Optimization of moisture and barrel temperatures for this snack was not reported clearly yet.

The silkworm pupae (Bombyx mori) may be an interesting resource for aquaculture feed, due to its high nutritional value. The present work evaluates the physical properties of five extruded diets for gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) containing 0, 2.5, 5, 10 or 15% of non-defatted silkworm pupae meal. The physical properties studied included: expansion ratio, density, hardness, durability, water absorption index, water solubility index, floatability, sinking velocity and fat leakage. Feed formulated with insect meal showed an increase in expansion ratio, hardness and durability, while water absorption index and sinking velocity decreased. The pellets from these diets showed no increased nutrient leaching or fat leakage. Thus, it is possible to include up to 15% of silkworm pupae meal in extruded fish feed without impairing its physical quality.

Bean Meal

Blends made of wheat flour and bean meal at various levels of moisture and bran content, were subjected to extrusion cooking by varying temperature and screw speed. Extrudates were analysed for expansion index, bulk density, apparent viscosity, water absorption index and water solubility index using a second-order rotatable central composite design. Excepting water absorption index, functional properties were significantly affected ( p<0.05) by levels of moisture, bran or extrusion conditions. Expansion index decreased with increasing levels of moisture in the blends; for bran the effect was the inverse. Response surface solution for apparent viscosity was maximum at 24% levels of moisture, 209r.p.m., 180°C and 10% bran. For water absorption index the response surface solution was a saddle point, with a minimum at 29% levels of moisture, 232r.p.m., 177°C and 25% bran. The higher apparent viscosity and lower absorption index reflected minor damage to starch and proteins, which was attributed to a protective role of the added fibre.
