Abstract: (558 Views)
Celiac disease is a digestive disorder caused by a permanent intolerance to certain cereal prolamines with a specific oligopeptide sequence and manifests as gluten intolerance. The aim of this study is therefore to formulate and produce gluten-free pasta based on rice flour and wheat alternative flours and to evaluate their qualitative properties. Different samples of gluten-free pasta were produced from a mixture of rice flour and wheat alternative flours (chia, teff, quinoa, amaranth and buckwheat) with different weight ratios. A commercial pasta was used as the control sample. The color, texture, cooking properties and sensory characteristics of the samples were then investigated. The results showed that as the proportion of alternative flours increased, the color lightness index (L*) decreased and the b* and a* values increased, resulting in a decrease in the whiteness index and an increase in the yellowness index and overall color changes. In addition, the wheat alternative flours had a positive effect on the texture firmness and reduced the baking index, and reduced the glaze index of the final product. The pasta sample with 75% wheat alternative flours and 25% rice flour was selected as the ideal gluten-free pasta sample in terms of overall sensory evaluation. The results show that the use of alternative flours can significantly improve the quality characteristics of gluten-free pasta.
