Products covered include snack foods, textured soy, breakfast cereal, rice analog, pet food and aquatic feed. Apart from learning about extrusion processing from experts in industry and academia, the short course will also focus on strategic business planning for processing companies with the help of faculty from the Department of Agricultural Economics at Kansas State. There will be plenty of hands-on and practical oriented lab sessions in which different products will be developed and evaluated both instrumentally and by using a consumer panel. One day of the short course will be reserved for visit to Sabetha, Kansas which is home to major manufacturers of extruders and ancillary equipment. A unique feature of the KSU extrusion course is a hands-on session on the science and practice of sensory evaluation and consumer acceptance of new products.
