The expander had a throughput of 1.5 to 1.8 t/h.
Specific energy inputs of 30.0 and 39.2-kilowatt hour/t were needed to reach expansion temperatures of 115 and 125°C, respectively.
Specific energy inputs of 13.1 and 20.0-kilowatt hour/t were needed to reach expansion temperatures of 115 and 125°C, respectively.
Steam pressure was set at 147 kPa. After heat treatment, all full-fat soybeans (excluding K0) were dried in a belt dryer at 85°C, and left the dryer after 5 min at 43°C. Dried samples were then transferred to the belt cooler and left it after 5 min at 30°C. Total of 7 samples were used in experiment 1: K0, K1-115, K1-125, K2-115, K2-125, K3-115 and K3-125. Total of 10 samples were used in experiment 2: K3-125, and Z1 to Z9.
