Fibre-like structure formation in fava bean protein based extrudates: effects of extrusion inputs and potential of outputs for process control by Clara Barnés-Calle, Grau Matas, Pere Gou, Elena Fulladosa

“…High moisture extrusion processing (HMEP) is a complex process in which product formulation and extrusion conditions play a key role in fibre-like structure formation. The aim of this work was to study the effect of process input parameters (formulation, liquid feed, and extrusion temperature) on the texture development of a high moisture extrudate (HME) based on fava bean protein concentrate (FBPC), combined with a different protein source (pea protein isolate - PPI) or an oil ingredient (extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)). …”
