Abstract

The products discussed in this chapter are similar in that they are prepared by low-pressure extrusion (or sheeting by rollers) and fried under conditions leading to relatively minor puffing. They differ from the products discussed in the preceding chapter because high-pressure extrusion is no part of the process and a high degree of expansion is not achieved. They differ from the baked snacks described in the following chapter in that a baked product, as the term is used in this book, is made from a non-gelatinized, nonextruded dough, usually leavened by chemical systems or yeast fermentation.
