How to Adjust the Puffing Effect of Raw Materials

The first point: control of puffing equipment

Different puffing equipment vary in the degree of puffing. Generally speaking, puffing equipment can control the time, temperature and pressure of raw materials under heating and pressurization conditions, thereby affecting the puffing degree of raw materials. By adjusting the parameters of the puffing equipment, different degrees of puffing effects can be achieved.

The second point: raw material ratio

The raw material ratio of puffed food also has a certain impact on the degree of puffing. Some raw materials contain high moisture and starch content, and these ingredients will expand under heating and pressure conditions, thus affecting the puffiness of the final product. Therefore, the expansion degree of the product can be controlled by adjusting the raw material ratio.

Point 3: Moisture Control

The moisture content in the raw materials also has an important impact on the puffing degree. During the puffing process, moisture is converted into steam under heating and pressure conditions, thereby pushing the raw material to expand. Proper control of moisture content can affect the puffiness of the product.

Point 4: Pressure Control

During the puffing process, factors such as time and pressure under pressurized conditions will also affect the puffing degree of the raw materials. Generally speaking, higher pressure can promote the expansion of raw materials, while lower pressure can inhibit expansion. By adjusting the pressure conditions, the puffing degree of the product can be controlled.

It should be noted that there may be differences in different puffed food production processes and equipment, so the specific production process needs to be adjusted and optimized according to the actual situation. At the same time, in order to ensure the quality and taste of the product, strict quality control and testing are also required.
