Extrusion Cooking for Food and Feed: Biochemistry, Technology, and Applications offers a comprehensive updated knowledge on extruded food products (for human, pet, and aquaculture) and the associated processing technologies and machinery requirements. Comprised of 18 chapters, the book covers every possible application of the food extrusion, explaining the biochemical changes of food ingredients during extrusion cooking, the design aspect of the extruder, besides also covering cold and hybrid extrusion, the role of carbohydrates, proteins, fat and lipid in extrusion, and the pet feed and aqua feed. A concise book on extrusion cooking benefits the readers to understand the present status of snacks foods, and it also allows industries take on meeting the growing demand for pet food.Covers the biochemical changes of food ingredients during extrusion cookingDiscusses the design aspect of the extruder as well as how to design an extruderProvides insightful knowledge on pet feed and aqua feedExplores new extrusion technologies such as 3D and 4D printingBrings the biochemical aspect with the engineering aspect of food extrusion

The contents of this book have been organized into various chapters, including Advances in Food Engineering, Developments in Food Quality and Safety, Emerging Food Processing Technologies, Innovations in Food Product Development, and Developments in Food Property Analysis. The book delves into topics such as modeling approaches for various food processes, including drying, dehydration, and absorption, as well as quality characteristics, quality measurement, and food safety.In addition, the book explores emerging processing technologies for food, including ohmic heating, cold plasma, high pressure, and ultrasound-assisted processing. Furthermore, it covers the development of new ingredients and food products. The book also discusses various properties of food, such as antioxidant, physicochemical, and rheological properties. These topics are essential for understanding the complexities of food engineering and processing.
