Shear Conversion of Corn Meal by Reverse Screw Elements during Twin‐Screw Extrusion at Low Temperatures

Corn meal was extruded in a twin-screw extruder to study effects of one and two reverse-screw elements on conversion at extrusion temperatures <60 o C. Significant conversion was observed across the reverse-screw elements. The conversion was due to shear alone, since thermal effect was negligible at these low temperatures. Encompassing the reverse-screw elements were four visually distinct zones characterized by the state of the material
