“…Compression resistance was determined according to Park et al, 13 with an Instron model 4411 universal machine (Harry Mazal S.A. de C.V., México, D.F), using a compression speed of 10 mm min −1 , an 8 mm diameter probe and a 500 kg f load cell. Specific mechanical energy (SME), in J g −1 , was calculated following the methods of González et al 14 This was done by directly measuring equipment torque (T ), in rpm, at the moment each mix was processed, and then calculating feed caudal (QA), in g min −1 , accounting for output caudal (OC), in g min −1 , extrudate moisture (EM), in g kg −1 , and established processing moisture (PM), which was 155 g kg −1 .…”
