Influence of Nano-cellulose, peanut fiber, and Fibersol to physical characteristics of the Extruded dogfood Kibbles
Abstract
This thesis investigates the impact of screw speed and fiber composition on the physical quality of pet food kibbles. The study focuses on understanding how variations in screw speed (475 rpm and 650 rpm) and different fiber sources (peanut, Fibersol, and Nano-cellulose) influence parameters such as water activity, bulk density, hardness, moisture content, and durability of the pet food kibbles.
