High-shear dry extrusion from Insta-Pro\u00ae International allows the production of nutritionally superior ingredients from oilseeds like soy.\u00a0 This is by design \u2013 high-temperature, short-time cooking with dry extrusion provides a thorough cook, practically measured as temperature, while minimizing time.\u00a0 This short-time aspect of the process is critical because nutrients, especially the amino acids in protein, such as lysine, do not tolerate cooking for more than a minute.\u00a0 The cook time with dry extrusion lasts only seconds, preserving protein quality.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to understand that many things are happening during extrusion.\u00a0 While temperature is commonly and easily measured, other forces are at work in the extruder barrel.\u00a0 As temperature rises, pressure, shearing forces, mechanical energy, and other factors are changed (mostly increasing); these effects must be accounted for as well.<\/p>\n

How is this done?\u00a0 When it\u2019s difficult or impossible, we turn to measuring the quality of the end products.\u00a0 This is why we\u2019ve conducted animal feeding trials in addition to lab testing for nearly 50 years to understand and control our processes.<\/p>\n

Controlling the dry extrusion processing temperature allows you to maximize the following:<\/p>\n
