Corn gluten meal (CGM) is the main by-product of corn starch with rich protein and dietary fiber. The extrusion CGM a twin-screw extruder aimed to expand novel utilization this plant-protein resource. impacts screw speed, temperature, material moisture on physicochemical properties extrudates were assessed.The microstructure depicted favorable fiber-like structure formed under speed 120-150 rpm, temperature 140-150 °C, 40-45%. Expansion ratio, rehydration water solubility index, hardness,...
Zein has viscoelastic properties similar to gluten. To improve the functionality of zein in gluten-free dough, ethanol-plasticization and extrusion modification were employed. Ethanol-plasticization (10%, v/v) increased exposure hydrophobic regions enhanced its interactions, thus improving distribution network starch base internal structure zein-starch dough. However, dense extruded made ethanol inaccessible interior, structural improvement on dough was limited. A model developed explain...
