Influence of hydrothermal processing conditions on the bulk density and flowability of animal meals

Summary

As part of a research programme conducted jointly with ACTA, ITAVI, INRA – Nouzilly, ITCF and UCAAB, TECALIMAN assessed various methods for characterising heat-treated meals.

During this study, it was observed that this type of treatment helps to densify animal meals and improve their flowability.

The correlations and regressions between these values were identified in order to determine how process control settings affect the variables that describe product densification and flowability.
