The quality of nine spaghetti typologies, produced by using wheat durum semolina as a base plus the addition of buckwheat and durum wheat bran, was investigated. The quality of the produced spaghetti was compared with that of spaghetti made only of durum semolina (CTRL). Tests were run on the samples to determine breakage susceptibility and colour of dry spaghetti, the cooking resistance, instrumental stickiness at optimal cooking time (OCT) and overcooking, the cooking loss and sensorial attributes at the optimal cooking time. Results suggest that the breakage susceptibility decreases with the addition of 15% and 20% bran, the spaghetti dry colour changes with the addition of buckwheat flour and bran compared to the spaghetti made only of durum semolina, while the cooking resistance, instrumental stickiness and the cooking loss, in general, were equal to that of the CTRL. However, the addition of buckwheat flour and bran affected the sensorial attributes differently.

Abstract

The quality of nine spaghetti typologies, produced by using wheat durum semolina as a base plus the addition of buckwheat and durum wheat bran, was investigated. The quality of the produced spaghetti was compared with that of spaghetti made only of durum semolina (CTRL). Tests were run on the samples to determine breakage susceptibility and colour of dry spaghetti, the cooking resistance, instrumental stickiness at optimal cooking time (OCT) and overcooking, the cooking loss and sensorial attributes at the optimal cooking time. Results suggest that the breakage susceptibility decreases with the addition of 15% and 20% bran, the spaghetti dry colour changes with the addition of buckwheat flour and bran compared to the spaghetti made only of durum semolina, while the cooking resistance, instrumental stickiness and the cooking loss, in general, were equal to that of the CTRL. However, the addition of buckwheat flour and bran affected the sensorial attributes differently.
