Extruded snacks are crispy, puffed snacks made through an extrusion process that combines ingredients like cornmeal, rice, or tapioca starch. They are popular for their unique shapes, flavors, and crunchy textures, making them a favorite snack option for many.
Modified tapioca starch E1412 (pregelatinized) is used in the production of extruded snacks to enhance texture and improve expansion during cooking. It helps create a light, airy structure while maintaining crunchiness, ensuring that the snacks have a satisfying bite and optimal flavor retention.
