The purpose of the present study was to explore the effects of feed moisture and the addition of whey protein isolate on some physicochemical properties of the obtained extrudates from potato flakes. Extrudates were produced using a laboratory single-screw extruder. Conditions during extrusion were: screw speed - 200 rpm; compression ratio - 3:1; extruders temperature zones - 120, 150, 160 °C; diameter of the nozzle - 5 mm. With increasing of feed moisture content and protein level, there was a significant rise of density as well as lowering of expansion of extrudates. As the feed moisture content increased from 13 to 20 percent w.w. the water absorption index (WAI) increased and the water solubility index (WSI) decreased. The feed protein level increased the protein content and decreased WAI. A maximum of WSI was observed at feed moisture content 20 percent w.w. and protein level 18 percent w.w. The extrusion and the protein addition do not affect the equilibrium moisture of the potato flakes extrudates.
