The first process is to reduce the size of food substance through force or compression like Grinding and Cutting.

2. Increase the size

This method used to increase the standard size of food matter. The equipment that is involved in These processes are Extrusion, Agglomeration or Rotating Pans and Forming for molding.

3. Unifying

In this process the particle size decreases and the consistency of liquid substance increases. The equipment that is used in Unifying are Mixers, Mills, etc.

4.  Blending

In this method, they have to maintain a constant mixture. By mixing and dispersing more than two components into one another.
