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

Seaweeds have had a role in the human diet, particularly in Japan, since 600 BC but still the use of algae for food applications is not widely adopted. This is due to a lack of available systematic information on algae and its various food applications. This book provides details on algae applications for students, food technologists and developers in the food industry who will all gain a better understanding of how to exploit the untapped potential of algae in food processes. Algae act as a reservoir of macro- and micronutrients including proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, peptides, vitamins, minerals and dietary fibres. They offer numerous health benefits, for example acting as anti-inflammatories, anti-coagulants, anti-oxidants and blood sugar regulators to name but a few. The oceans house these abundant and valuable products but their use is still in its infancy and the details contained in this single reference will encourage investigation into this sustainable source of food.
