new forms of flavoring have been studied in order to reduce the fat content and the caloric value of extrudates, including pre-extrusion flavoring. In this flavoring method, flavor is added to the raw material to be extruded, thus providing uniform distribution and better oxidative stability. This flavoring method is more suitable because no lipid vehicle is needed for it to be implemented. However, considerable loss of the volatile compounds added may occur during processing, with possible changes to the texture and structure of the extrudates
