Five different blends at a level of 0每20% w/w apple pomace were extrusion cooked with varied barrel and die temperature (100每140⊥), screw speed (100每200ˋrpm), and feed moisture content (14每20% wet basis). Increasing apple pomace content in the blends significantly (Pˋ<ˋ0.05) increased the bulk density, the total phenolic content, and the antioxidant activity of the extrudates. The expansion ratio increased with pomace inclusion level of 5% but decreased significantly (Pˋ<ˋ0.05) at higher levels of pomace inclusion (10每20%). Moisture content had quadratic influence on water absorption and solubility indices. Optimal extrusion cooking conditions most likely to produce apple pomace-enriched extruded snack products were at 140⊥ barrel and die temperature, 20% feed moisture content, and 200ˋrpm screw speed. The results indicated active interaction between apple pomace and starch during expansion process %K Antioxidants %K extrusion %K properties %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1082013218766981
