Production technology of extrusion polysaccharide food products

To begin with, the original grain raw material is subjected to grinding by means of roller machines and hammer crushers. Subsequent re-grinding occurs in knife, gear, disk and other types of griding machines.
Mixing machines
Ready-crushed grains are mixed in various mixers to obtain a homogeneous mass. Such mixers can be conditionally divided into two main groups: periodic and continuous action. Depending on the design of the mechanism distinguish vertical / horizontal, blade and screw mixers.
Mixers mix bulk products together, as well as bulk products with liquid components; the designs of such machines slightly differs.
Extruders
The production of extruded polysaccharide food products is not possible without the use of extruders themselves. There are different types of extruders:
- Single-screw
- Double-screw
- Multi-screw
- Сylindrical
- Disk
- Combined, etc.
In the process of extrusion, under the influence of high temperature, active thermomechanical destruction occurs. As a result, protein substances are preserved, and polysaccharides are converted into more easily digestible oligosaccharides. Thus, the useful properties of food products are increased.
