HIGHLIGHTS
  • Selected physical properties of obtained snack pellets were studied. The study focused on the effect of the conditions and sequence of the extrusion-cooking process on the quality of pellets (semi-finished products). The Zamak Mercator EXP-45-32 prototype single-screw extruder was used in the study.

ABSTRACT
The aim of the study was to evaluate selected properties of potato snack pellets fortified with fresh kale addition. Varying levels of fresh kale (10, 20 and 30%) were added in order to obtain a new type of fortified snack pellet as a semi-fini-shed product for further expansion and their effects on processing stability as well as on selected physical properties were defined. The results showed that the applied variables (moisture content, screw speed and the addition of fresh kale) significantly affected the extrusion-cooking process and also certain selected physical properties of the snack pellets. Furthermore, increasing the addition of fresh kale up to 20 and 30% in the fortified snack pellets changed some of these properties (lower energy consumption, higher efficiency of the extrusion-cooking process, higher expansion index, lower bulk density of the pellets, lower durability). The application of up to 30% fresh kale in the newly developed extruded snack pellet formulations is recommended.
