WORKSHOP 4

Setup to Structured Meat Analogues: An Introductory Workshop for the Twin Screw Extrusion & High-Moisture Meat Analogue (HMMA) Processing

Date: 18 August 2026

Time: 8.00 am – 4.30 pm

Venue: Extruder Lab, Food 1, Faculty of Food Science and Technology, Universiti Putra Malaysia

Course content:

  • Overview of twin-screw extruder setup & fundamentals
  • Raw materials: Description of ingredient composition and moisture adjustment
  • Principles and mechanisms of twin-screw extrusion: Understanding material flow, mixing, shearing, and texturization
  • Components and design of a twin-screw extruder system: Function and role of key elements such as screws, barrel, die, and feeder
  • Applications of twin-screw extrusion (TSE) in food product development

Benefits to participants:

  • Understand the fundamental principles and applications of twin-screw extrusion in food processing and innovation
  • Acquire knowledge of how ingredient characteristics and processing parameters—such as temperature, moisture content, and screw configuration—affect product quality, efficiency, and functionality
  • Engage in practical demonstrations of TSE setup and operation
  • Engage with experienced researchers, academics, students and industry professionals to share insights and establish collaborations
  • Gain ideas and techniques applicable to your research, product development, or process improvement initiatives

Mode: Face-to-face

Speakers:

Dr. Carl Dolgow

Product Manager for Food and Feed Extrusion at Collin Lab and Pilot Solutions

Speaker information/ background/achievement:

With over 8 years of experience in the food industry, Dr. Carl Dolgow specializes in food and feed extrusion. He studied Food Process Engineering at the University of Applied Sciences in Fulda (Germany) and Food Science at the University of Applied Sciences in Kleve (Germany). His research as a doctoral student at the University of Kassel (Germany) focused on the extrusion of food and animal feed products.
