Evaluating the techno-economic feasibility of buckwheat extrudates production using twin screw extruder technology


Author(s): Prabha Haldkar, Virendra Kumar Tiwari and Sandeep Kumar Rumandla

Abstract: The techno-economic feasibility of producing ready-to-eat extrudates using the optimal blend of raw materials (Buckwheat and Bengal-gram) with a blend ratio of 70:30 was assessed in this study. Three key economic parameters, namely break-even volume/quantity, break-even sales, and break-even period, were analyzed. The break-even analysis revealed that to manufacture 10,40,000 units of 20-gram packets of ready-to-eat extruded snacks, formulated from Buckwheat and Bengal-gram with a blend ratio of 70:30, the break-even quantity was determined to be 26,60,950 units of 20g each. The corresponding break-even sales amounted to 1,33,04,721/-, and the break-even period was projected to be 1 year and 4 months. This study provides valuable insights for the commercial production of extruded snacks.
