Abstract |
Absorbance of extracted oil during oilseeds
extrusion is important to produce high quality product. To date there is
little information about fat absorption capacity (FAC) of common
feedstuffs as absorbents in the extrusion process of oilseeds. The
objective of current study was to determine the FAC of alfalfa hay
harvested at three stages of maturity (SM; early bud, late bud and early
flower) and with different particle sizes (2, 0.75 and 0.2 mm) and some
feedstuffs as absorbent materials during oilseeds extrusion. In a
completely randomized design, the FAC of experimental feedstuffs was
different (P<0.05),
and alfalfa hay had highest FAC among all absorbents (P<0.05).
The FAC of alfalfa hay was not affected when particle sizes and oil
sources changed (P>0.05). With
advancing the SM of alfalfa hay, the FAC increased (P<0.05).
Different combination of alfalfa hay and pistachio by-products had
different FAC, and with an increase in the alfalfa hay portion, FAC
increased (P<0.05).
In conclusion, the FAC of alfalfa hay changed with advancing SM but not
by different particle sizes or oil sources and different feedstuffs had
various FAC.
