Abstract :
Introduction: The high consumption of low nutritional value snacks and malnutrition of children and teenagers are one of the major problems in society. Usually, the small seeds that are in watermelon, although they are rich in nutrients including fatty acids, essential proteins, and many minerals are not used and have been thrown away. Materials and Methods: This study was performed on the basis of a rotating central composite design. The effects of extrusion variables including screw speed (120-180 rpm), watermelon powder (10-20%) and feed moisture content (12-20%) on the physicochemical properties (expansion ratio, oil and water absorption index, porosity, and total acceptance) of expanded snack on the basis of corn-wheat flour grits were evaluated. Results: The results showed that watermelon flour decreased the expansion coefficient and porosity, however, the interaction effect of screw speed and watermelon flour improved the physicochemical properties of the samples. The increasing screw speed led to a decrease in the viscosity and therefore the expansion coefficient and porosity increased.
