1 Introduction

Extrusion has gained attention and emphasis in the food industry since it is an important technique which, besides increasing the variety of processed food, presents more advantages when compared with other traditional systems of food processing.

The rapid acceptance of food extrusion as an important food processing operation results from the many advantages of the use of extrusion. First, extruders achieve high productivity in a single processing step by cooling and forming the product, thus enhancing the cost effectiveness of the process. The ability of an extruder to handle a wide variety of raw ingredients and processing conditions assures its versatility and consequently broadens its applicability to a myriad of food products (HARPER, 1981; GUY, 2001).

Consumer acceptance of extruded foods is mainly due to the convenience, value, attractive appearance, and texture found to be particular for these foods, especially when it concerns snack products (ANTON et al., 2008).

Brazil is the third largest producer of cassava (233,795,973 tons), accounting for 13.86% of the worldwide production. Cassava is grown in all regions of Brazil, taking outstanding importance in food and feed, and it is used as a raw material in numerous industrial products (LEONEL; FREITAS; MISCHAN, 2009).

The sour cassava starch is a natural latic-fermented and sun-dried modified starch. This modified starch is widely used in food products due to its natural expansion property (BERTOLINI et al., 2001). It is found in all South American countries, except for Ecuador.

Today's health conscious consumers have shown a preference towards value added products, and in general, more nutritious food items (BRADY et al., 2007). The opportunity to supplement common biscuits of sour cassava starch with a cereal of higher nutritional value is inherently beneficial to public interests.

Cereals and to a less degree pseudo-cereals meet the major worldwide protein intake requirements. However, there has been a growing interest by the food industry for pseudo-cereals no allergens such as amaranth and quinoa.

Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an annual crop of the family Chenopodiaceae, which has been cultivated in different regions in South America. Quinoa seed was introduced in Brazil in the 1990s. During the selection process, several genotypes were obtained, and the BRS Piabiru became the first recommendation for cultivation in the country, with average yield of approximately 2.8 t ha-1. The cultivated area, however small, has the potential to grow to meet demand, now stimulated by the imported product. Attractive prices do increase the interest of producers, researchers, and food industry (BORGES et al., 2010). Considered a pseudo-cereal or pseudo-grain, quinoa has been recognized as a complete food due to its protein quality. It has remarkable nutritional properties; not only from its protein content (15%), but also from its great amino acid balance. It is an important source of minerals and vitamins, and it has also been found to contain compounds like polyphenols, phytosterols, and flavonoids with possible nutraceutical benefits (JAMES, 2009). The quinoa flour contains about 135 g.kg-1 protein, 63 g.kg-1 lipids, 95 g.kg-1 crude fiber, 12 g.kg-1 total ash, and 583 g.kg-1 carbohydrate (based on 110 g.kg-1 moisture) (OGUNGBENLE, 2003).

In general, extrusion of starchy foods results in gelatinization of starch, denaturation of protein, and formation of complexes between starch and lipids and between proteins and lipids (GUY, 2001).

The complexes between starches and lipids are due to the ability of the amylose fraction of starches to bind lipids such as fatty acids. The decrease in expansion and the increase in bulk density of starch can also be compared to the swelling of native starch upon gelatinization. Swelling is generally considered a property of amylopectin. Amylose is considered a diluent. The amylase and native lipids present in cereal starches may inhibit swelling under conditions when amylose-lipid complexes are likely to be formed. Lipid complexation with starch is a very important reaction in extrusion cooking that affects structure formation and texture of the extruded products (BHATNAGAR; HANA, 1994; DE PILLI et al., 2011).

During extrusion, due to the effect of high temperature and mechanical forces, proteins lose their globular structure. There occurs cleavage of bonds responsible for the 2nd and 3rd order structure of proteins, due to which polypeptide chains become straightened and extended and unfolded protein structures subjected to the effect of mechanical forces form layered structures (CAMIRE; CAMIRE; KRUMHAR, 1990). Proteins can form non-covalent disulphide bonds, block polar groups, form complexes with oxidized lipids, and create complexes of Maillard reaction products. On the other hand, the most important transformations in starch material, caused by extrusion and dependent on the water content, are gelatinization, dextrinisation, and melting. Transformations have an enormous effect on the physical properties of the end-product (WLODARCZYK-STASIAK; JAMROZ, 2008; PÉREZ-NAVARRETE et al., 2008).

For the production of nutritious acceptable snacks, rates of starch fortification seem to vary according to the nature of each material (BERRIOS et al., 2004). Desirable properties in the extrudates are obtained by finding the appropriate processing condition as well as the proper composition of the raw material. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of extrusion temperature, screw speed, moisture content, and amount of quinoa flour on the physical properties of puffed snacks.

2 Materials and methods

The raw materials used were industrial sour cassava starch (Ouro Minas industry- São Pedro do Turvo, São Paulo, Brazil) and quinoa flour (Jasmine, Brazil). Cassava starch and quinoa flour blends were prepared containing 5, 10, 15, and 20% of quinoa flour (wet basis). After homogenization in a homogenizer in "Y" TE201/5 (Tecnal, Brazil) for 5 minutes, 28 samples of 1 kg were separated for moisture conditioning.

Extrusion was carried out using a complete line of INBRA RX 50 (Inbramaq, Brazil), which has a motor coupled with a speed reducer (extrusion by mechanical friction), and a single extrusion screw with 130 mm barrel diameter and 440 mm extruder length, a hydraulic cooling system for temperature control, variable speed, and 50 kg.h-1 capacity.

The extrusion process parameters were:

• Constant parameters: extrusion temperature in the 1st (20 to 25 ºC) and 2nd zones (40 to 45 ºC); screw compression ratio (3:1); screw diameter (32,6 mm), die diameter (4 mm); feed rate (150 g.minutes-1); and cutting speed (90 rpm).

• Variable parameters: quinoa flour amount, feed moisture; barrel temperature in the 3rd zone; and screw speed (Table 1). The variation ranges between the upper and the lower limit of variables were established based on preliminary tests.

During the extrusion process, a portion of the next test material was used to purge the extruder. A total of 500 g of extruded sample were collected after achieving steady-state flow in the extruder. The extruded samples were dried (40 ºC) to the desired moisture (6-7%) in an oven with air circulation (Marconi - MA037 Brazil). Each dried samples was divided in two portions and kept in plastics bags hermetically sealed until evaluation. A portion of each sample was powdered using a knife mill (Marconi-MA 680, Brazil) with screen of 468 mm.

The expansion index (EI) was evaluated after extrusion and before drying. It was determined using a digital caliper. Expansion indexes are derived from the division of radial expansion by the die orifice diameter (4.0 mm). The considered value was obtained by the arithmetic mean of measurements of 20 different expanded products in each treatment (FAUBION; HOSENEY, 1982).

Specific volume (SV) was determined according to the mass displacement method (millet seed) using a graded pipette (FAUBION; HOSENEY, 1982).

Water absorption index (WAI) and water solubility index (WSI) were assessed before and after extrusion process (ANDERSON et al., 1969). The water absorption index (WAI) is the weight of gel obtained per gram of dry ground sample. The extrudates were ground to a mean particle size of approximately 150 µm. A 2.5 g sample was dispersed in 25 g of distilled water using a glass rod to break up any lumps. After stirring for 30 minutes, the dispersions were rinsed into tarred centrifuge tubes, made up to 32.5 g, and centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 10 minutes. The water absorption index (WAI) is the weight of gel obtained per gram of dry ground sample. The water solubility index (WSI) is the percentage of dry matter recovered after the supernatant is evaporated from the water absorption determination.

Color measurements (CIE L*, a*, b* color space) were performed on ground samples using a Minolta CR-400 model colorimeter (Konica Minolta, Ramsey, NJ, USA). The color of extrudates was expressed as the average of three L*, a*, and b* readings, where L* stands for brightness, +a* redness, -a* greenness, +b* yellowness, and -b* blueness. A white calibration plate was used to standardize the equipment prior to color measurements.

The hardness of samples was determined using a texture analyzer TA-XT2 (Stable Micro Systems, Surrey, England) with a 50 kg load cell and a probe HDP/WBV (Warner Bratzler set with "V" slot blade for USDA Standart). The test speed was 1 mm/s. Ten extrudates were assayed for each treatment.

Response Surface Methodology describes the behavior of a system in which the independent variables (Xk) and the dependent variable or response (Yi) are combined. The response is a function of the levels at which those factors were combined and defined.

Within the proposed variation ranges, i.e. within the region characterized by these levels, the behavior of each response can be predicted in a general form according to the Equation 1:

where: Y1 = Dependent variable or response function;X1, X2, X3, X4 = Values of the independent variables; βo = Coefficient relative to the line interception with the response axis; β1, β2, β3, β4 = Linear coefficients assessed through least square method; β11, β22, β33, β44 = Coefficients of quadratic variables; β12, β13, β14, β23, β24, β34 = Coefficients of interaction between independent variables; ε= Experimental error.

The model was fitted by the option "step-wise" of SAS program; the obtained model was validated through F-test using the pure error mean square as denominator.

The response surfaces plots were drawn from the adjusted models using the software Statistica® 6.0.

3 Results and discussion

The color analysis of blends before extrusion showed the high brightness of the sour cassava starch (94.68), a* positive (1.1) and b* positive (5.96). The quinoa flour showed lowest brightness (89.6), lower presence of + a* (0.09) and greater presence of yellow (12.66 of +b*).

Sour cassava starch showed low water solubility index (2.11%) and water absorption index (0.82 g gel.g-1) before extrusion. The quinoa flour had higher WSI (8.97%) and WAI (2.9 g gel.g-1).

Low water absorption index and water solubility index in cassava starch before extrusion process were also found in other studies (LEONEL; FREITAS; MISCHAN, 2009; LEONEL; MARTINS; MISCHAN, 2010). The water absorption index found for quinoa flour was higher than that reported for unprocessed quinoa flour (1.69 g gel.g-1) (DOGAN; KARWE, 2003).

Table 2 summarizes the estimated regression coefficients for the models fitted to the experimental results and their significance as well as their corresponding coefficients of determination.

The degree of expansion of an extruded product is closely related to the size, number and distribution of air cells surrounded by the cooked material. High pressure close to the discharge of the matrix is reduced when the products leaves the extruder causing flash evaporation of water and expansion of the product.

The expansion index ranged from 2.58 to 4.65. Data analysis showed negative linear effect of moisture and the effect of the interaction of the amount of quinoa flour and moisture on the expansion index of the products (Table 2). According to the adjusted model higher expansion index are obtained under conditions of lower moisture (Figure 1a).


Specific volume is a major performance index for extrusion puffed food. It is a measure of volumetric expansion, which is the sum of radial and axial expansions. The specific volume of extruded products ranged from 4.11 mL.g-1 to 10.76 mL.g-1, with values close to the average specific volume of commercial corn snacks (8.72 mL.g-1).

The analysis of the regression coefficients showed linear effects of the amount of quinoa flour and moisture on the specific volume of products (Table 2). Under conditions of low moisture and higher amount of quinoa flour, temperature at 100 ºC, and 250 rpm of screw speed, the largest specific volumes are observed (Figure 1b).

Similar result was observed in a study on the effects of adding soy protein isolate (0-50%), initial moisture content (17.96 to 28.04%), and process temperature (from 106.4 to 173.6 ºC) in the development of expanded snack based on cassava starch, and it was concluded that expansion increased with higher temperatures and high content of protein (CHANG et al., 2001).

When starch is extrusion-cooked, expansion is dependent on the formation of a starch matrix that entraps the water vapor resulting in the formation of bubbles. The expansion of starchy materials is inversely proportional to the moisture of raw material. Increased moisture can change the molecular structure of amylopectin reducing the elastic viscosity and thus decreasing the expansion (DING et al., 2005; GUY; HORNE, 1988). In tested conditions of lower moisture, the expansion index and specific volume of the snacks were higher. Low moisture content in the mixtures may have restrained its flow inside the extruder increasing shear and residence time, thus increasing the gelatinization degree and the expansion.

Water solubility index (WSI), often used as an indicator of degradation of molecular components, measures the degree of starch conversion during extrusion, which is the amount of soluble polysaccharide released from the starch component after extrusion (YANG et al., 2008). The values obtained for the water solubility index of the extruded products ranged from 4.95% to 42.37%. Considering the WSI of blends before extrusion (2.15 to 2.24%), there was a pronounced increase in solubility with the process, independent of the tested conditions.

The analysis of the regression coefficients showed significant effects of all process parameters on the WSI (Table 2). Higher levels of water solubility are observed in conditions of high amount of quinoa flour in the mixture and low screw speed, as well as, under conditions of high temperature and high amount of quinoa flour (Figure 2).


The water solubility index of the extruded products is higher under the conditions of low moisture and low screw speed (Figure 2).

The increase in water solubility index with increasing temperature and decreasing moisture was consistent with results reported for quinoa flour extrudes (DOGAN; KARWE, 2003).

According to the response surface plot drawn from the adjusted model, under the conditions of high moisture and low extrusion temperature, high levels of solubility in water are observed (Figure 2).

The extruded products showed improvement in solubility and water absorption. The knowledge of interactions between proteins with starch is still scarce. There are not many studies concerning the changes in structure of components and the chemical reactions during extrusion cooking (WLODARCZYK-STASIAK; JAMROZ, 2008). The WSI depends on the intensity and type of reactions that occur during extrusion, influencing the amount of soluble molecules. In addition to starch gelatinization, which results in the release of amylose and amylopectin, dextrinisation process and other reactions that lead to the formation of low molecular weight compounds, influencing the WSI can also occur (CAMIRE; CAMIRE; KRUMHAR, 1990).

An increase in the amount of dextrinized starch during extrusion cooking results in an increase in water solubility index. However, molecular interactions between degraded starch, protein, and lipid components may reduce solubility (DOGAN; KARWE, 2003).

The high friction promoted by low moisture combined with longer exposure to center point temperature (100 ºC), due to slow rotation of the screw, may have contributed to the collapse of the crystalline structure of starch granules and protein denaturation of quinoa flour leading to an increase in solubility.

The water absorption index (WAI) measures the volume occupied by the starch after swelling in excess water and indicates the integrity of starch in aqueous dispersion. The water absorption index of extrudates ranged from 7.06 to 13.37 g gel.g-1.

Statistical analysis of experimental results showed linear effects of temperature and moisture, positive quadratic effects of quinoa flour amount, temperature, and moisture, as well as, effects of the interactions between the quinoa flour amount and moisture, and moisture and screw speed on the water absorption index of extruded products (Table 2). Higher water absorption index is observed under high temperature and low moisture conditions (Figure 3). Under conditions of low moisture and lower amount of quinoa flour, the absorption in water had higher value (Figure 3). On the other hand, under the intermediate conditions of temperature and moisture, the WAI was lower (Figure 3).


An increase in the value of WAI may probably be caused by uncovering of hydrophilic groups in extruded starch-protein material, by unfolding and loosening of biopolymer chains, greater availability, and easier penetration of structures by water molecules (MARZEC; LEWICKI, 2006).

Color is an important characteristic of extruded foods. Color changes can give information about the extent of browning reactions such as caramelization, Maillard reaction, degree of cooking, and pigment degradation that take place during the extrusion process (ANTON et al., 2008).

Analysis of the color components of the blends before and after extrusion evidenced that the values of the L* component from extruded products varied from 53.05 to 74.69 indicating a decrease in luminosity after extrusion when compared with the initial luminosity of blends (93.56). The analysis of the regression coefficients showed positive quadratic effects of the amount of quinoa flour, screw speed, and extrusion temperature on the luminosity of the extruded products (Table 2). Lower luminosity (darker products) is obtained under intermediate conditions of variable parameters of the process (Figure 4).


Chroma a* values ranged from 4.64 to 6.43, which indicates that there was little variability in this parameter during the extrusion process, considering that it can vary from -60 to +60. The extrusion process intensified the color red, given that blends showed chroma a* of 0.81. Data analysis showed negative quadratic effects of the amount of quinoa flour and temperature on this component of chromaticity (Table 2).

According to the model, under the extreme conditions of temperature and amount of quinoa flour, with moisture and screw speed at the central point, low a* is observed with higher values at the central point of all variable parameters of the extrusion process (Figure 5a)


Responses of the b* color parameter, which represents variation from blue to yellow, varied according to the treatment (from 10.88 to 20.86). After the extrusion process, it can be observed that yellow was intensified since the blends showed chroma b* of 7.56.

Regression analysis indicated linear effects of quinoa flour amount on this chromaticity component (Table 2). The increase in the amount of quinoa flour increases color intensity (Figure 5b).

The textural property of the samples was determined by measuring the force required to break the extrudate. The hardness of the extruded products ranged from 0.87 to 2.03 kgf (8.53 to 19.91N), minimum and maximum values, respectively. From the data obtained for the different tests, it was observed the positive quadratic effect of quinoa flour on hardness (Figure 6).


It is reasonable to suggest that the addition of quinoa flour (high content of protein and lipids) might have affected the character of the starch matrix (i.e., the viscoelastic properties of molten extrudate) so that it no longer holds water vapor, resulting in higher break strength.

The higher the value of maximum peak force required in gram, which means the more force required to breakdown the sample, the higher the hardness of the sample to fracture (LI et al., 2005).

4 Conclusion

The operational conditions of the extrusion process affect physical properties of sour cassava starch and quinoa flour snacks. Snacks with good technological characteristics can be obtained under the conditions of 10% of quinoa flour, 250 rpm of screw speed, temperature of 100 ºC, and moisture of 15%. Extrusion is an attractive process to obtain sour cassava starch snacks with different nutrients.
