Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to assess the effect of addition of hydrocolloids like CMC (Carboxyl methyl cellulose), sodium alginate and gum acacia on specific energy consumption (SEC), expansion ratio, bulk density and water absorption index of extruded product. The wheat flour: defatted soybean flour (80:20) blend was prepared and CMC, sodium alginate and gum acacia at 1, 2, 3 % levels were added to blend and extruded product was prepared. Addition of hydrocolloids increased the expansion ratio and water absorption index whereas reduced the bulk densities and specific energy consumption of extrudates.
