Abstract
The effect of feed moisture content (10, 14 and 18%) and die temperature (110 and 160 °C) on functional properties, specific mechanical energy (SME), morphology, thermal properties, X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and amylose-lipid complex formation of extruded sorghum flour was investigated. Results showed that the extrusion cooking significantly changed the functional properties of extruded sorghum flour. Increasing feed moisture increased the peak gelatinization temperature (Tp), the degree of gelatinization (%) and starch crystallinity (%) while it decreased the gelatinization temperature ranges (Tc - T0), starch gelatinization enthalpy (ÎHG) and amylose-lipid complex (%) formation. With increasing die temperature, the degree of gelatinization and amylose-lipid complex formation increased and the starch Tp, Tc-T0, ÎHG and crystallinity decreased. The FTIR spectra also showed that the extrusion cooking did not create new functional groups or eliminate them in sorghum protein, whereas the sorghum extrudate protein had random coil conformation.
