Preparation of extruded Hom Nil rice snack
Hom Nil rice flour moisture content varied at
levels of 13, 15 and 17%, respectively. While the
other extrusion conditions were fixed at a 20 g/
min feed rate, 120 and 80oC die and transition zone
temperature, respectively and 250 rpm of screw
speed. The optimum feed moisture content was
selected for the next experiment. Then, the effects of
extrusion conditions, die-zone temperatures of 120,
140 and 160oC and screw speeds of 150, 200 and 250
rpm, on physicochemical and sensory properties of
Hom Nil rice snack were investigated.
