INFLUENCE OF WHEAT BRAN ADDITION AND OF THERMOPLASTIC EXTRUSION PROCESS PARAMETERS ON PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF CORN-BASED EXPANDED EXTRUDED SNACKS

INFLUENCE OF WHEAT BRAN ADDITION AND OF THERMOPLASTIC EXTRUSION PROCESS PARAMETERS ON PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF CORN-BASED EXPANDED EXTRUDED SNACKS

Corn-based expanded extruded snacks containing wheat bran as dietary fiber source were evaluated with respect to instrumental hardness, expansion index and color (L* - lightness). Internal cell structure was observed through Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Snacks were produced following a 2...
