Abstract
The study was carried out, to explore the potentiality of extrusion technology for elimination of antinutritional components of cereal brans. Extrusion variables were moisture content (14, 17 and 20%) and temperatures (115°C, 140°C, 165°C). Phytic acid, polyphenols, oxalates, trypsin inhibitor, bulk density and color of brans after extrusion were analyzed. All four raw bran samples had high concentration of phytic acid, polyphenols, oxalates and trypsin inhibitors. Extrusion cooking was found effective in reduction of these antinutritients. Extrusion processing reduced the phytic acid by 54.51%, polyphenol by 73.38%, oxalates by 36.84%, and trypsin inhibitor by 72.39%. The heat treatment caused the highest reduction in polyphenols followed by trypsin inhibitors, phytic acid and oxalates. The highest reduction in antinutrients was observed at 140°C and 20% moisture content. Bulk density increased significantly compared to raw brans and increase in redness and decrease in yellowness of brans was observed after extrusion treatment.
