Antarctic krill (Euphausiacea superba) is an abundant and sustainable but underutilized natural resource with well-studied protein isolation methodology using Isoelectric solubilization-precipitation (ISP). The resulting krill protein isolate (KPI) has high yield and sufficient impurity removal in addition to desirable nutritional and functional properties but has yet to be used in food systems. Extrusion is a versatile and scalable food processing method with many benefits; thus, the aim of this study was to determine the impact of KPI as an additive in extrusion processing with the eventual goal of introducing it to human and animal food systems. KPI was …
