Optimization of extruder cooking conditions for the manufacture of fish feeds using response surface methodology

A composite blend consisting of sunflower cake, maize germ, wheat bran, fresh water shrimps and cassava flour was extruded using a single-screw extruder to produce expanded fish feed pellets. The effects of temperature (80–120 C), die diameter (2–4 mm), and feed pre-conditioning time (50–150 s; stea...
