Extrusion cooking is preferred due to its low energy consumption, efficient production and cheap end products, adaptability to new technologies, high temperature-short-term processing method and it is increasingly used in the food industry. There is an important relations between raw material entering the extruder (starch type, protein, oil, water content, formulation etc.), process variables (such as screw speed, feed rate, barrel shape and temperature) and product characteristics (such as nutritional, physical and chemical properties) during the extrusion cooking and many factors come into play to reach the desired product. Optimization studies are required to analyze these factors well and to decrease the number of experiments in the most logical way. In terms of engineering, optimization ensures optimum data by evaluating the relationships between independent variables that affect processes and dependent variables called responses. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the optimization studies carried out using the response-surface method for products produced by extrusion technique.
