Abstract

Highlights: [•] We apply twin-screw extrusion to alfalfa fractionation. [•] Protein extraction yields in the green liquid extract are above 50%. [•] Twin-screw extruder design is of crucial importance and can be optimised. [•] Adding a second filter improves both protein extraction and plant dehydration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
