Some physicochemical properties of dextrin produced by extrusion process

Dextrinization of corn starch by twin screw extruder was studied. The effect of extruder operating conditions (five different screw speeds: 35, 45, 55, 65, and 70; and three temperatures: 125,130, and 135 C) on some physicochemical properties of dextrin (total soluble solid, water absorption index, water solubility index, and total color difference) was investigated. Results showed that as the…
