Structural and functional modifications of soluble dietary fiber from pea fiber residues induced by extrusion-spray modification.

Pea fiber residue, a by-product of pea starch and protein extraction, is rich in dietary fiber, most of which is insoluble. An extrusion-spray (ES) modification was developed to increase the content of functionally valuable soluble dietary fiber (SDF). This technique used a reverse-threaded section in a twin-screw extr...
