This study was performed to determine the effect of psyllium husk addition on the physical properties of rice extrudates. Rice-based formulations mixed with psyllium husk (0, 7, 14 and 21%) were extruded at a die temperature of 140℃, screw speed of 200 rpm, and moisture content of 20%. As the content of psyllium husk increased, expansion ratio decreased, while piece density and specific length increased. Apparent elastic modulus, breaking strength, adhesiveness, and hardness augmented with an elevation in psyllium husk content. Lightness declined as psyllium husk content furthered, while redness, yellowness, and color difference intensified. Water soluble index and water absorption index increased with an increased amount of psyllium husk. In conclusion, the addition of psyllium affected the expansion of extruded rice snack possessing hard texture, small cells, and sticky texture due to higher water absorption during hydration.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of extrusion temperature on puffing of white and red ginseng powder. The extrusion variables were feed material (red and white ginseng powder) and die temperature $(100\;and\;115^{\circ}C)$. The analyzed characteristics of ginseng extrudates were sectional expansion index, microstructure and rheological properties. Most of biopolymer was highly puffed at higher extrusion temperature, but the cross-sectional expansion of white and red ginseng powder was higher at 1000e and longitudinal expansion seems to higher at $115^{\circ}C$. White and red ginseng powder were puffed inconsistently and discontinuously at $115^{\circ}C$. The scanning electron microphotograph of extruded white ginseng was uniform air cell distribution at 100oe, but pore size increased at $115^{\circ}C$ and had fine uniformity due to pore explosion. White ginseng and its extrudate were pseudoplastic. Intrinsic viscosity was lower as a result of increased die temperature. The cross-sectional expansion seems to be inconsistent and decreased due to decrease in melt viscosity at $115^{\circ}C$.

This study showed the optimum conditions for producing rice extrudate added with the sea tangle powder, and presented the effects of moisture content, barrel temperature and the amount of sea tangle powder. From the results, the more the amount of sea tangle powder was added, the less the water absorption ratio was showed, while the more the texture became smooth, the more the expansion ratio increased. From the sensory evaluation, the best preference was obtained when the moisture content was $18\%$, and the barrel temperature was at $100^{\circ}C$. Between control and $10\%$ sea tangle, there was no significant difference in all observed parameters. But if more than $20\%$ sea tangle was added, low sensory evaluation scores were obtained due to the peculiar smell from sea tangle. From these results, addition of sea tangle below $10\%$(w/w) did not affect the quality of products.

Objectives : Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill contains many nutrients and exhibits high physiological functions. It has been shown that Schisandra seed and pamace contains more nutrients than fruits and thus have higher antioxidant efficacy. In this study, seed and pamace of Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill (SPSC) were treated with hot-melt extrudate (HME) extrusion to produce water-soluble nanoparticles. Methods : SPSC was treated with HME to prepare nanoparticles. In this process, excipients (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, pullulan, 2-hydroxylpropyl-beta-cyclodextrin, lecithin) were added to prepare a hydrophilic polymer matrix. To compare and analyze the antioxidant effect and schizandrin content, total flavonoid content, total phenol content and ABTS assay were measured. To confirm the effect of increasing the water solubility of the particles, particle size and water solubility index measurements were performed. The molecular of the material was analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Results : The particle size of HME extrudates decreased, while total phenols, flavonoids, schizandrin, antioxidant effect, and solubility increased. Through FT-IR, it was confirmed that the SPSC and the extrudate exhibit the same chemical properties. In addition, it was confirmed that when extracted with water, it exhibited a higher antioxidant effect than the ethanol extract. Conclusions : HME technology increased the solubility of SPSC, which are processing by-products, and improved their antioxidant effect to a higher degree. It was confirmed that SPSC could be used as an eco-friendly, high value-added material.

The study was designed to investigate the effects of die temperature and $CO_2$ injection on the physical and antioxidant properties of extruded rice with tomato flour. Moisture content and screw speed were fixed at 25% and 150 rpm, respectively. Die temperatures and $CO_2$ injection were adjusted to 80, 110, and $140^{\circ}C$ and 0, and 300 mL/min, respectively. Specific mechanical energy input decreased as die temperature increased from 80 to $140^{\circ}C$. The expansion index increased, while bulk density decreased with $CO_2$ injection. All extrudates showed increased water soluble index (WSI) and water absorption index through the extrusion process. WSI increased as die temperature increased. 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging activity and total phenolic compounds increased as die temperature increased from 80 to $140^{\circ}C$. Total carotenoid and lycopene contents decreased through the extrusion process. Total carotenoid and lycopene contents upon 0 mL/min $CO_2$ injection and $140^{\circ}C$ die temperature were highest at $6.65{\mu}g/g$ and 2.69 mg/kg, respectively. In conclusion, $CO_2$ injection affects expansion properties while an increased die temperature leads to increased DPPH radical scavenging activity and total phenols.

This study investigated the effects of die temperature and repeated extrusion on the chemical components and antioxidant properties of extruded white ginseng (EWG). Die temperature was adjusted to 100, 120, and followed by repeated extrusion under the same conditions with corresponding samples. Secondary extruded white ginseng (SEWG) at a die temperature of $120^{\circ}C$ had the highest acidic polysaccharide content of all extrudates. Increasing die temperature and repeated extrusion both increased crude saponin content of the extrudate. Ginsenoside Rh1 was detected in the EWG ($140^{\circ}C$) and SEWGs, whereas ginsenosides Rg3s and Rg3r were only detected in SEWG ($140^{\circ}C$). The highest total phenolic content, DPPH radical scavenging activity, and reducing power obtained from SEWG ($140^{\circ}C$) were $8.55{\pm}0.03$ mg/g, $72.05{\pm}0.63%$, and $0.80{\pm}0.004$, respectively. In conclusion, repeated extrusion increases antioxidant activity and crude saponin contents for the development of improved ginseng products.

The purpose of this study is to prepare extruded rice flours suitable for baking rice cookies. The extruded rice flours were prepared at 100 and 130$^{\circ}C$ temperature and 25 and 27% moisture content in a co-rotating twin screw extruder. The rice extrudates were dried at 100$^{\circ}C$ for 18 hr and subsequently ground into the fine flour. Characteristics of the extruded rice flours were examined by rapid visco analysis, hydration property analysis, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and in vitro digestion test. Water absorption, solubility, and swelling power of all extruded rice flours were higher than those of native rice flour. DSC analysis showed that native rice flour had a peak at about 65$^{\circ}C$ while all extruded rice flours did not show any peaks since they were already gelatinized during the extrusion proess. Viscosity of the extruded rice flours decreased with increasing temperature and lowering moisture content in the extrusion proess. The extruded rice flours prepared at 130$^{\circ}C$ exhibited lower viscosity than those prepared at 100$^{\circ}C$. The operating temperature of the extrusion proess was critical for the starch digestion in vitro. The extruded rice flours prepared at 130$^{\circ}C$ showed a rapid decrease in digestible starch content while an increased level of slowly digestible starch content was observed compared to those treated at 100$^{\circ}C$ in the extruder. Cookies were prepared with a mixture of wheat flour and extruded rice flours at the ratio of 7 to 3. The cookies made with the extruded rice flours had lower spread factor and darker yellow color than those prepared with wheat flour only. Hardness of the extruded rice flour-added cookies was similar to that of the wheat flour cookie whereas their overall acceptance was better. Therefore the rice cookies partially supplemented with extruded rice flours may have a potential as early childhood foods which require soft texture and allergy reduction.
