Twin screw extrusion technology, commonly known as "twin screw extrusion process", is widely used in food production. Twin screw extrusion technology is also applied to the production of nutrient rich and low-cost fortified rice.
The advantages of double screw rice strengthening technology
Compared with traditional rice reinforcement methods, twin-screw extrusion technology has several advantages. Firstly, the twin-screw extruder can evenly mix nutrients into the raw materials, making the fortified rice more effective in achieving nutrient homogenization. Secondly, rice reinforced by twin-screw extruders has lower viscosity than rice produced by other rice reinforcement methods. Unlike traditional mixing methods that allow rice to mix nutrients, a twin screw extruder enhances the stability of rice grains by uniformly mixing nutrients, reducing the viscosity of the reinforced rice grains.
Thirdly, twin-screw extrusion technology can better control the dosage of supplementary nutrients. Add nutrients to the raw materials in appropriate proportions.
Fourthly, reinforced rice produced using a twin-screw extruder has a longer shelf life than traditional reinforcement methods. Traditional reinforcement methods use high temperatures, which can lead to the degradation of nutritional supplements and affect the taste of rice. In contrast, the twin screw extruder does not overheat, thus retaining the nutrition and flavor of the rice.
The benefits of consuming fortified rice
Enhanced rice can provide dietary nutrients that certain populations lack. Rice is considered a staple food in many places, and with the improvement of nutrition, it can help people improve their physical condition.
Enhanced rice is rich in vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients that support human health. Especially fortified rice contains vitamin A, iron, and zinc. Vitamin A helps support normal vision and healthy immune function, and trace elements such as iron and zinc also have many benefits for people's bodies.
The reinforced rice produced using twin-screw extruder technology is easier to digest and provides consumers with a healthier staple food. The uniform mixing of nutrients in the double screw rice strengthening technology has improved the bioavailability of rice nutrients, making fortified rice an ideal food for people who need a balanced diet.
Scope of twin-screw extruder
Twin screw extruders are used to process various raw materials, including grains, proteins, fibers, and starch products. Twin screw extruders can be used to produce a variety of products, such as snack food, pet food, and many other human foods.
Twin screw extruders are also used in the rice processing industry to strengthen rice. This technology uses a twin-screw extrusion process to mix and cook rice while adding supplements.
Market prospects for fortified rice
The emergence of the COVID-19 has led to an increase in global demand for fortified rice. With the growth of population and the increasing demand for nutritious foods and nutritional supplements, the use of twin-screw extrusion technology in the rice processing industry has increased. The demand for healthy food from consumers is also increasing, and the demand for fortified rice is also increasing.
Twin screw extrusion technology has several advantages in enhancing the production of rice, making it a reliable process for improving the nutritional status of rice grains. The rice made from this is healthy, easy to digest, and has a longer shelf life. The reinforced rice produced using twin-screw extrusion technology provides necessary nutritional supplements for global consumers, and the market prospects for reinforced rice are broad.
