Abstract—The composite flour blend consisting of corn, pearl millet, black gram and wheat bran in the ratio of 80:5:10:5 was taken to prepare the extruded product and their effect on physical properties of extrudate was studied. The extrusion process was conducted in laboratory by using twin screw extruder. The physical characteristics evaluated include lateral expansion, bulk density, water ab...

The present study focussed on the use of Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) along with other flour for production of ready-to-eat snack products using extrusion cooking. The ultimate objective is to add value to millet and other subtropical crops to enable their commercialisation and thereby provide additional livelihood opportunities to the farmers in semi‐arid regions. Composite flours were pre...

The seed coat of the legume lupin which is rich in insoluble dietary fibre a major by-product human food applications. Extrusion cooking has been demonstrated to increase desirable soluble Australian sweet coat. In this study, processing condition twin-screw extrusion was optimised using central composite rotatable design from 44.17 g/kg up 113.69 dry basis. high levels polyphenols were retaine...

Films of EVOH copolymers, processed three times by twin-screw extrusion were prepared using a cast-film line. The variation on the melt flow rate (MFR) and rheological behaviour of the films were determined, as well as the thermal properties assessed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic-mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). As the results showed that the reprocessing induced an ...

A new type of material, a "nanobursa" mesh (from "bursa" meaning "sac or pouch"), is introduced. This material consists of sequential layers of porous polymeric nanofibers encapsulating carbon nanotubes, which are functionalized with different metal nanoparticles in each layer. The nanobursa mesh is fabricated via a novel combination of twin-screw extrusion and electrospinning. Use of this hybr...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of synthetic magnesium aluminometasilicate (MAS) as a novel inorganic carrier in hot melt extrusion (HME) processing of indomethacin (IND) for the development of solid dispersions. A continuous extrusion process at various IND/excipient blend ratios (20%, 30% and 40%) was performed using a twin-screw extruder. Physicochemical characteriz...

This paper investigates new approaches for the blending and plastification of ceramic powder with a binder to form fused deposition (FDC) feedstock. The fabrication highly filled filaments was accomplished using granulation by agitation technique, followed twin-screw extruder homogenization single-screw filament extrusion. feedstocks are based on alumina (Al2O3) powders, which were prepared an ...

This paper deals with open-shaft twin-screw refrigeration compressors in the 10 175 m3/h (10 100 CFM) range. Applications for such compressors are, for example,external combustion engine heat-pumps and transport refrigeration. The twin-screw compressor concept is discussed from following view-points; operational mode and rotor housing design drive arrangement bearings lubricants cooling volume ...
