With the accelerating pace of life and increasing work pressure, consumers are increasingly demanding convenient and fast foods, creating a broad market for extruded puffed foods.

Not all extruded puffed foods are fried. Extrusion involves extruding raw materials under high temperature and high pressure using a twin-screw extruder, rapidly vaporizing the water in the raw materials and causing them to expand, thus achieving the puffing effect. During this process, the mechanical energy of the raw materials is converted into internal energy, resulting in localized high temperatures and high pressures. When the raw materials reach the discharge port, this internal energy is rapidly converted into mechanical energy, causing the food to puff up like popcorn.

Fried puffing is another common puffing method, which involves deep-frying the food at high temperatures. Fried puffed foods are typically high in calories and fat, and have a crispy, delicious texture and a rich, oily flavor.Common extruded puffed foods on the market include cereal rings, rice popcorn, and puffed rice crackers. These foods have a crispy texture, are easy to chew and digest, and generally have a lower fat content than fried puffed foods. Of course, with consumers' increasing focus on healthy eating, both extruded and fried foods are trending towards low-fat, low-salt, and low-sugar options.
