EFFECT OF DIFFERENT HYDROCOLOIDS IN THE FORMULATION OF GLUTEN-FREE FUSILLI PASTA USING JAPANESE RICE AND CHICKPEA FLOUR.
Thermoplastic extrusion; Technological properties; Paste properties
The aim of this work is to develop and characterize different formulations of pasta made from Japanese rice and chickpea flour mixtures. Japanese rice and chickpea flours, pre-cooked or not and by extrusion will be used in the preparation of doughs using agar and gellan hydrocolloids. In addition to the hydrocolloids included in the formulations, dehydrated egg can be used as a technological aid, in order to contribute to the structuring of the elaborated product. Various formulations will be used alternating the added hydrocolloids. Flours will be characterized for rheological properties, texture, color, cooking time, soluble solids and chemical composition. For the physical-chemical analyses, a completely randomized experimental design will be considered, with three replications evaluated in duplicate. The results will be evaluated regarding the effect of the hydrocolloids used and their relationship with the properties of the pastes.
