The application of some food industry by-products in the production of extruded products

Various by-products of the food industry (fruit and vegetable pulp, oilseed cake, different bark and shells...) are generated in large quantities and represent a huge problem for manufacturers, because they have a significant effect on the environment due to slow biodegradation, water pollution, emissions of methane, and related environmental problems. On the other hand, these by-products, aside from the fact that they are a rich source of polyphenols, dietary fibre, β-glucans, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, represent cheap and easily available raw materials which could be used for the production of various products consumed by many people (snacks, breakfast cereals, pasta, bread, biscuits...). One of the most important product groups are certainly extruded products, and their production mainly uses various types of grains, such as corn, wheat, rice and barley, which are rich in carbohydrates. Therefore, in recent years there is much more research on the topic of improving the nutritional value of this product group by using various food industry by-products.
