ABSTRACT
Theoretical and practical energy balance considerations in food extrusion-cooking are presented in the paper. Based on the literature review as well as on own measure- ment results, the baro-thermal treatment of different vegetable raw materials is discussed together with the engineering aspects of the extruders� performance as a whole.
