Effect of particle size, feed moisture content and screw speed with different levels (250, 500 and 600 μm; 14, 16 and 18%; 300, 350 and 400 rpm) using a co-rotating twin screw extruder on physical and chemical properties (color, expansion ratio, bulk density, water absorption index (WAI), water solubility index (WSI), rheological and amylose/amylopectin content) of modified extruded products was investigated. Increasing feed moisture content results in extrudates with a higher bulk density, WAI and cold paste viscosity, but reduced the expansion ratio and WSI. Increasing particle size caused with a brighter color and higher amylose content. In case of higher screw speed increased the expansion ratio, WSI and amylopectin content.
