Abstract
Spirulina is a unicellular, filamentous blue-green alga with spirals of varied tightness and size measuring approximately 0.1 mm in diameter. It takes less water and land to grow and may thrive in any tropical climate. Spirulina contains between 40% to 80% protein and has a rapid growth rate. Extruders are used to heat and mould products, act as reactors and alter the final product's properties. Spirulina extruded products are protein-rich, healthier, and cheaper for undernourished children. India is in the midst of an economic revolution, yet malnutrition remains a serious issue. Children and adolescents in India are more prone to suffer from protein energy deficiency, anemia, and vitamin A deficiency. Spirulina extruded foods will be high in iron, calcium and phosphorus and will thus be beneficial to malnourished children and nursing mothers and other diseases of deficiency. For several people, meat in animal flesh or seafood is the most popular type of high-protein food. However, in some parts of the world, the high cost of meat can make it unaffordable. Spirulina is currently integrated into a variety of goods, including baked desserts, beer, morning cereals, corn chips, doughnuts, food bars, frozen desserts, muffins, popcorn, salad dressing, snack foods, and soups. However, for the poor people affordability and long lasting ability will make the Spirulina extruded products popular and easily available with cheap rate to the undernourished children. Nevertheless, these extruded products are equally helpful to the any age group to fulfill the dietary deficiency.
