ABSTRACT A commercially available extrusion cooker was successfully used to produce pre‐cooked corn flours for use in making arepas, a thick unsalted unleavened corn cake worked by hand into small patties and. then roasted. Sixteen trials were run and eight flour samples were obtained that formed a consistent dough that was easy to shape into arepas. The arepas were roasted and observed from l‐20 hr afterwards and no change was noted in sensory or textural properties. This extrusion cooker can be used for elaborating pre‐cooked corn flour for arepa production.
