Model for Gelatinization of Wheat Starch in a Twin-Screw Extruder

Wheat starch was processed in a co-rotating twin-screw extruder, at moisture contents 25% and 30%, screw speeds 200 and 300 rpm, feed rate 30 kg/hr, and barrel temperature settings 100, 120, 140, and 160°C. Degree of starch gelatinization at each point along the extruder channel was determined by sampling and analyzing material inside the extruder. Kinetics of the gelatinization during extrusion was investigated. A first-order rate equation was developed to predict degree of starch gelatinization during extrusion. The rate constant was a function of both temperature and shear stress.     

Use of a Twin-Screw Extruder as a Chemical Reactor for Starch Cationization

The objective of this work was to study the obtaining of cationic starch by using a pilot scale twin-screw extruder Clextral BC45 as a chemical reactor. The reagent was 3-chloro 2-hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (CHPTMA) and catalyst was sodium hydroxide (NaOH). In a first set of experiments extruded starch gave higher chemical efficiencies than native starch (+15%) both being fed at the same location of the barrel. Influence of extrusion conditions on reaction kinetics was studied starting from extruded starch in order to optimize the reaction without interfering with starch melting phenomenon. In a second set of experiments, a special screw design was implemented in order to obtain a homogeneous starch molten phase in a first stage, and to achieve starch modification in a second stage. Changes of reacting conditions were performed through the modification of reagent quantities and molar ratios related to starch and NaOH, location of reagent injection, temperature of reaction and Specific Mechanical Energy input. Samples were evaluated through their degree of substitution (final DS < 0,09); their homogeneity and rheological behavior were studied by ion exchange chromatography and Brabender viscoamylograph. resp., Reaction efficiency was computed to optimize the process, leading to values up to 82%. Extruded samples were then compared to commercial cationic starches.     

Evaluating Energy Consumption and Efficiency of a Twin-Screw Extruder

ABSTRACT: Using the results from twin-screw extrusion of corn meal, both energy consumption and extruder efficiency were found to be significantly correlated with screw speed and specific feeding load (SFL). An increase in the SFL decreased the total specific mechanical energy, but increased the extruder efficiency. SFL influenced the extruder efficiency more than the screw speed. Increasing the screw speed from 300 to 450 rpm at a constant SFL level increased the extruder efficiency by 6 to 11%, whereas an increase of SFL from 0.0026 to 0.0038 kg rev ¹ raised the extruder efficiency by 30%. Of the mechanical energy consumed per unit mass of extrudate, over 98% were used for shearing or viscous dissipation and less than 1.5% were for pumping during twin-screw extrusion of corn meal.     

Continuous Production of Fish Meat Sol using a Twin-Screw Extruder

The washed minced meat of flying fish was extruded at low temperatures with NaCl in a twin-screw extruder while varing screw rotation, feeding rate, feeding of NaCl, and barrel temperature. Extrusion at a higher screw rotation and moderate feeding rate with the residence time of about 1 min, using NaCl in solution and with cooling by ice-water, gave the most adhesive meat sol. Heat-induced gel from this meat sol had a similar textural parameters measured by an instrument to the gel prepared with a conventional stone grinder, however, the toughness score in sensory test of the gel prepared by extrudate was a little smaller than the gel by a conventional method.

Accurate Measurement of Extrudate Temperature and Heat Loss On A Twin-Screw Extruder

Infrared (IR), extended melt and flush thermocouple probes were used to measure bulk temperatures of extrudates. Good agreement was obtained between IR and extended probes. However, substantial differences were observed between IR and flush mounted probes and between extended and flush mounted probes. A response surface methodology was used to study effects of moisture screw speed, and barrel temperature on measured temperature differences between IR and flush probes. The standard flush probe may not accurately measure bulk temperature of the extrudate. The heat flux from the surfaces (top, bottom, and side) of a twin-screw extruder barrel was also measured. Total heat loss from the surface varied between 2–19% of the total heat input.

A Model for Mechanical Degradation of Wheat Starch in a Single-Screw Extruder

The effect of extrusion cooking in a single screw extruder on the molecular weight distribution of wheat starch was correlated to the starch melt rheology. A simple first-order model has been developed which defines the extent of mechanical degradation of the amylopectin component as a function of nominal shear stress and residence time in the extruder. A limited set of experimental observations were used to test the model. Iso-shear stress curves were calculated for the experimental range of conditions. The curves can be used, in conjunction with estimates of the residence time, to calculate equivalent processing conditions, and to predict the extent of amylopectin degradation. The model may allow the use of small extruders to determine fundamental process parameters for full scale extrusion.     

Effects of Salt, Sugar and Screw Speed on Processing and Product Variables of Corn Meal Extruded with a Twin-Screw Extruder

The effects of screw speed and additives (sugar and salt) on processing and product variables of corn meal extruded with a twin-screw extruder were studied. Higher salt (0–3%) and sugar concentrations (0–4%) in the feed decreased the die pressure, % torque and specific energy. But at 6 and 8%, sugar increased the three processing parameters. Higher screw speed (250 vs 200 rpm) decreased die pressure and % torque, but increased specific energy. The addition of salt and sugar enhanced extrudate radial and axial expansions, but reduced product bulk density and breaking strength. An increase in screw speed decreased radial expansion and bulk density, but increased axial expansion and breaking strength.

Twin-Screw Extrusion as a Continuous Pretreatment Process for the Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Cassava

Twin-screw extrusion was evaluated as a pretreatment for the enzymatic hydrolysis of cassava starch to glucose. Extrusion temperature and pH affected the key parameters associated with the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch such as the water solubility index, the water absorption index, the apparent viscosity, and the susceptibility of the extruded starch to glucoamylase. The glucose concentration of extruded and enzyme-hydrolyzed cassava starch was approximately 5% greater than that of acid-liquefied and enzyme-hydrolyzed cassava starch.

Residence Time Distributions for Wheat Starch in a Single Screw Extruder

Residence time distributions for wheat starch in a single screw extruder were measured for different operating conditions using a manganese dioxide tracer. Two flow models which differed in the definition of dead space were used to represent the flow pattern in the extruder. The parameters for each model were fitted using the experimental residence time distributions. Screw speed and the moisture level of the feed showed the strongest effects on the average residence time. A small fraction of the flow, 5–20%, was held up in the dead space region. The remainder passed directly through the active region with a residence time distribution close to plug flow. An apparent power law index for the starch melt was calculated and over the experimental range of extrusion conditions it varied from 0.2 to 1.0.
