Extrudability of cookie batters evaluated with three measurement methods.

For cookie batters, there is a strong interaction between ingredient formulation and processing. Changing the amounts and types of sugar and fat in a recipe to change taste or healthiness influences the type of product formation in a production plant. In this study, the applicability of three measurement methods, a rheometer, a forward extrusion cell, and the Foodtexture Puff Device (FPD), was evaluated to measure the extrudability of cookie batters.
