Application of extrusion technology of snack food machine in corn food

Application of extrusion technology of  snack food machine in corn food

 Corn is one of the most important food crops in the world. It is rich in starch, protein, fat, crude fiber, minerals and other nutritional elements. Compared with other grains, the content of glutathione is relatively high. Long-term consumption can reduce the blood cholesterol concentration of human body, and has a certain preventive effect on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Although the nutritional value of corn is very high, the edible quality of corn is poor, the majority of consumers are not too fond of corn, and the potential value of corn is not played.

Extrusion by snack food machine can not only sterilize and passivate bad factors, but also improve the utilization rate of protein and accelerate the gelatinization of light powder. Starch and protein are the main components of grain, and various physical and chemical properties change during the production of food extruder. Under the verified processing conditions, the contents of reducing sugar and soluble dietary fiber, water absorption index and water solubility index of corn were increased obviously after extrusion.

The extruding technology of snack food machine is a modern processing technology which can save energy, keep fresh, and improve the utilization rate, digestion and absorption rate and productivity of corn. With the research and application of extrusion technology, the edible quality of maize will be greatly improved, and the field of maize deep processing will be brought vibrant vitality.

Corn can be extruded by twin screw extruder to produce a variety of small food, such as: corn circles, salad rolls, beef rolls, pizza rolls, cheese corn balls, chocolate rings, mountain tablet, crispy rice, etc., corn derivatives market is broad, using extruder to produce corn snack food will be the future market trend.
