Extrusion and Size Change Processes in the Food Industry, a volume in the Unit Operations and Processing Equipment in the Food Industry series, explains the processing operations and equipment necessary for extrusion of different food products including cereal based products, confectionary, and protein based products along with size reduction/enlargement techniques. Divided in three sections, “Extrusion operations “, “Size reduction processes in the food industry”, and “Section 3- Size enlargement processes in the food industry”, all chapters emphasize basic texts relating to experimental, theoretical, computational, and/or applications of food engineering principles and the relevant processing equipment to extrusion and size change unit operations. Written by experts in the field of food engineering, in a simple and dynamic way, this book targets industrial Engineers working in the field of food processing and within food factories to make them more familiar with the particular food processing operations and equipment.

• Thoroughly explores novel applications of extrusion and size change unit operations in food industries
• Covers the extrusion and size change of different food ingredients
• Brings extrusion of various food ingredients and products including cereal based products, snacks, confectionary, and protein based products
