Multiscale continuum thermodynamics based modeling of transport mechanisms and starch expansion during extrusion
… the experimental values of surface temperature, moisture content and expansion ratio of the extrudates at different extrusion conditions were obtained. Simulations showed the transition from rubbery to glassy state at different spatial locations across the cross–section of the extrudate. The …

Extrusion processing of selected fish feed blends containing distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS)
… with essential proteins, but it is expensive. Feed represents over half of the operating costs for aquaculture operations. This study investigated using distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) as a sustainable, less expensive alternative protein source for fish feeds. Two extrusion studies …

Utilizing near-infrared technology to assess changes in corn silage dry matter and the effects of feeding a starling resistant supplement to dairy cattle
… the accuracy of three NIR units (Digi-Star Moisture Tracker, Topcon Agriculture, Fort Atkinson, WI), food dehydrator (FD) (Nesco®, Two Rivers, WI), and a Koster Tester (KT) (Koster Moisture Tester, Inc., Brunswick, OH) to conventional 105°C forced air oven drying. Samples were taken at four …

Improvement of bio-oil stability in wood pyrolysis process
… to a liquid known as bie-oil in 75% yield on dry feed. Bio-oil can be used as a fuel but has the drawback of having a high level of oxygen due to the presence of a complex mixture of molecular fragments of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin polymers. Also, bio-oil has a number of problems in use …

Understanding the Role of Biomass and High Shear Bioreactor Parameters in Bioethanol Production
… well-known process/technique in the snack food, feed, and plastic industries, causes physio-chemical changes when the feed material pass through the extruder. Advantages of extrusion are highs hear, rapid heat transfer, mixing, moderate temperature, short residence time, and adaptability to …
