Thesis Abstract

<p><br><br>Abstract
<br>The extrusion process has become a prominent technology in the food industry, particularly in the production of snack foods. This project aims to optimize the extrusion process parameters to enhance the quality, nutritional value, and sensory attributes of snack foods. Through a systematic investigation of various factors influencing extrusion, including temperature, moisture content, screw speed, and die design, this study seeks to achieve superior product characteristics while maintaining production efficiency. The project will employ a combination of experimental studies, statistical analysis, and sensory evaluation to determine the optimal processing conditions for different types of snack products. The findings of this research are expected to contribute to the development of innovative snack foods with improved nutritional profiles and consumer acceptance.<br><br><br></p>
