Effect Of Counter-Rotating Twin Screw Extruder On The Physicochemical And Functional Properties Of Sago (Metroxylon Sagu) Starch

This research project was conducted to study the extent of destruction of sago starch (Metroxylon sagu) by using counter-rotating twin-screw extruder. The effect of primary extrusion parameters, screw speed (100, 125, 150, 175 and 200 rpm) and moisture content (30, 40, 50 and 60% w/w dry basis) w...
