Mechanical Processing Techniques

Description

Mechanical processing techniques involve the breakdown of food particles through physical forces, resulting in changes to texture and appearance.

Technical

Mechanical processing techniques, such as grinding, milling, and extrusion, involve the application of physical forces to break down food particles, leading to changes in texture and appearance. This process can result in the denaturation of proteins, gelatinization of starches, and disruption of cell walls, affecting the final product's texture and nutritional content.
