What Food Products Can Extrusion Be Used On?

The development of science and technology has brought tremendous changes to our lives. Various industries have undergone great changes under the impact of science and technology. Food extrusion technology in the food processing industry has become the most popular new technology. Foods are very popular in the market. In order to catch up with the trend, many manufacturers have begun to use food extrusion machinery to make a variety of foods.

So among the foods we eat every day, which foods use food extrusion technology?

Let us first understand what food extrusion technology is. Food extrusion technology uses the driving force of the extruder screw to squeeze the raw materials forward. The raw materials are subjected to mixing, stirring and friction, as well as high shear. It can make starch granules Disintegration, while the temperature and pressure of the machine cavity are increased. And then it is extruded instantly with a certain shape of die hole.

A variety of different foods can be made using this extrusion principle, the common ones are as follows:

Soy Meat
Soy meat is a food made from soybeans as the main raw material through extrusion technology. It is nutritious and has a mellow taste. Compared with animal protein, it has the advantages of low price, no cholesterol, long shelf life, easy coloring, and easy to add flavor.
