Which type of wheat is commonly used for fresh pasta ?
Durum wheat
The water absorption capacity of gluten free pasta in comparison to wheat pasta is
Lower
What is the resistant starch ?
Is a a type of dietary fiber found in starch based foods
Whole flours contain
Bran / endosperm / germ
Pigmented cereals are functional ingredients likely due
Their content in polyphenols
The milling spent can influence
The percentage of damaged starch in the flour
În general resistant starch can be formed through
Starch retrogradation
A high quality semolina pasta is characterised by
Low cooking losses higher water absorption capacity
Ancient gardian compared to common grains has
Lower gluten index value
Gluten formation is related to the presence of
Water insoluble protein units
The white spots in whole semolina pasta are related to
The presence of simple sugars contained in the germ
When compared to common wheat flour semolina has
Greater particle size
A flour with a percentage of damage starch > 8% on a total starch basis is suitable for
Bread making
The extraction rate of whole flour is
100%
În general starch from waxy cereal grain contain
5% of amylose and 95% of amylopectin
Gelatinisation can transform starch from
A semicrystalline structure to an amorphous structure
În general starch gelatinisation starts from
55C
The production of CO2 from chemically agents with respect to biological agents is
Faster
Starch retrogradation is associated to
Aggregation of amylose and amylopectin chains
Gluten is formed by linkage of
Gliadins and glutamins
Glutenins are responsible for
Elasticity and tenacity
The amount of lipid added in bread can
Make the gluten more weak
In dry pasts gluten is formed during
Extrusion
When compared to doughs batter contain
Higher amount of water
