Since many varieties of food extruders exist, the chapter on equipment was developed to give a broad, experimentation, and food ingredients used in extrusion is directed toward improved extrusion operations. The remaining chapters are oriented toward reviewing the technology, literature, and developments in the principal areas of food extrusion.
