Optimising the extrusion process

Extrusion is a unique processing operation that uses high temperature and pressure over a short time, in which high shear forces are applied to produce a feed product with distinct physical and chemical characteristics. Optimised feed extrusion needs to be subjected to statistical analyses using the model of response for each ingredient or its contribution in the final formulation on surface methodology through the sciences of rheology and tribology. Evaluating the effect of moisture content, b
