Extrusion cooking is an energy efficient means of preparing ready-to-eat food and snacks. It offers versatility in terms of ingredient selection and texture & shape of products that can be produced. Extrusion snack food products are prepared using a wide variety of ingredients such as corn, potatoes, tapioca, and others. The extrusion process reduces the number of microorganisms present in the end product, and eliminates some naturally occurring toxins; hence, extrusion snack food products are comparatively safer for consumption. Breakfast cereals, onion rings, jelly beans, breads, and processed cheese are some of the extruded snack food products available in the market.
Changing lifestyles & eating habits, increasing preference towards ready-to-eat packaged food, lower product prices, and booming retail industry are the key driving factors of the market. Rapid urbanization and growth in disposable income supplement the market growth. High production cost, volatile prices of raw materials, and growing health concerns could restrict the market growth.
