Abstract

Report Introduction: Short-time, high-temperature cooking of grain products with extrusion processing equipment has become a well-established technology in the US. A wide variety of food, feed, and industrial grain products are currently manufactured using extrusion-cookers. The equipment available for this ranges from highly specialized units designed for production of specific commodities to extremely versatile units capable of producing a broad spectrum of extrusion-cooked products. A description of extrusion-cooking including the principles and potential product applications is given in Appendix A. The purpose of this report is to evaluate a recently developed extrusion-cooker, the Brady Crop Cooker, and suggest how it might be used in food processing applications in less developed countries.
