Extrusion is the core technology for a variety of products, such as breakfast cereals, food ingredients, pet food and aqua feed. Hot extrusion can gelatinize starch, texture or denaturate protein according to the amount of mechanical energy generated, modifying the structure of the original raw materials into interesting finished products.
Conversely, wheat pasta dough is prepared and shaped through cold extrusion in order to preserve the protein properties for the formation of gluten.

In the case of pasta from wheat, the formation of gluten occurs in the dough preparation and extrusion steps. The press technology selection depends also on the particle size, which determines the mixing times needed for the right hydration.
The gelatinization of starch is the key to delivering the right structure for a good pasta from gluten-free raw materials like corn, rice, quinoa buckwheat, as well as pulses. The Polymatik delivers a consistent, clean and efficient process with its direct injection of vapor and hot water.
