"The objective of this work was the optimization of extrusion process for the production of extruded cornmeal (ECM) that may be used in the production of corn bread by a direct procedure. The extrusion process variables, barrel temperature, Et (111-159C), moisture content, Mc (12.10-24.77%) and screw speed, Ss (160-460 rpm), were considered and their influence on moisture content of milled extrudates (ME), expansion index (EI), bulk density (BD), water solubility index (WSI), water absorption index (WAI) and cold paste viscosity (CPV) of extrudates was investigated," investigators in Zagreb, Croatia report.
"The influence of ECM addition on viscosity of wheat ...
