Abstract
Effects of feed moisture (14, 18, and 22 g/100 g) and screw speed (300, 350 and 400 rpm) on selected physical properties, gamma-aminobutyric-acid (GABA) content, antioxidant activity and consumer acceptance of extruded snacks from germinated brown rice flour (GBRF) were investigated. Changes in feed moisture significantly affected physical properties of extrudates whereas screw speed showed less effects. Decreasing feed moisture caused a decrease in bulk density and hardness, but an increase in expansion ratio. Decreasing feed moisture increased destruction of free GABA in extrudates. DPPH radical-scavenging activities, ferric reducing antioxidant power and total phenolic content of extrudates were significantly lower than those of the non-extruded GBRF. The predicted optimum extrusion condition (16–19 g/100 g feed moisture; 300–320 rpm screw speed) would yield extrudates with 25–30 mg/100 g extrudate (dry-basis) free GABA content and an overall liking score of 6.0 (on a 9-points hedonic scale).
