USE OF BEAN HUSKS IN THE PRODUCTION OF EXTRUDED PRODUCTS

Abstract

The article presents a study to determine the effect of bean husk concentration (a by-product of industrial bean husk processing) and extrusion process parameters on the chemical composition of extrudates obtained using an extruder. It was determined that the concentration of bean husk in extrudates can reach 80%. The extrusion process resulted in a decrease in the content of lipids, protein, dietary fiber, and their insoluble fraction, and also caused an increase in the content of the soluble fiber fraction. These changes depended on the composition of the mixture subjected to the extrusion process, as well as on the following process parameters: temperature and humidity of the raw materials.
