13 XI Preface Extrusion-cooking is gaining increasing popularity in the global agro-food processing industry, particularly in the food and feed sectors. In this handbook, we want to share the secrets of this relatively new technology, paying particular attention to the utilitarian aspects, namely discussing the processes associated with the production of various extrudates and describing the machinery and equipment necessary for their manufacture. There are also many comments and recommendations of a purely operational nature. A perusal of the book will give, in my view, not only information concerning the complexities of the production but also a quantum of engineering knowledge helpful in decision making for those who are considering whether or not to implement this technology in their processing plants. Being a promoter of substantial research programs in this field for many years I am a great enthusiast for extrusion-cooking, seeing much room for its application. As an editor my ambition was to collect the contents of this book that represent the latest achievements in the field, offering readers the best practical knowledge available at the time of publication. The text of the book has been developed together with invited scientists and industrial experts, whose substantial contribution has assured a high level of transferred knowledge. This handbook is intended for researchers, students, engineers and technical staff studying or working in food process engineering, food technology, chemical engineering and/or related disciplines. I do hope that the text will also be of interest for food and feed producers as well as representatives of the various industries benefitting from the processing components and semi-finished goods in the agro-food industry.
