| Owing to creation of Thai rice snack with health benefits for higher potential in commercial scale, mulberry leaf was applied in the production of extruded snack product. Mulberry leaf in dried powder was mixed with rice, corn, soy, sugar, oil, vitamins and minerals to investigate the operating conditions with twin-screw extruder at varying mulberry content (5, 7.5 and 10%), screw speed (300 and 350 rpm) and feed moisture (13, 15 and 17%) in the 3 × 2 × 3 factorial experiment. The extrudates were examined of functional properties (antioxidant activity and phenolic compounds) and some physical characteristics (expansion ratio, bulk density, texture measurement and organoleptic test). The results had shown that at higher mulberry content (10%), the product... |
