Abstract:

In this study, corn grit by-product (hominy flour) is used as a replacement of durum wheat semolina in pasta (macaroni). Hominy flour is used as a feed ingredient in livestock, poultry, etc. and is found to be a good source of protein and dietary fibre. Trials were made in such a way to replace durum wheat semolina such as 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% and quality assessment along with typical characteristics of pasta were tested. Different Pasta blends have been compared with the control pasta and quality characterisation of pasta is evaluated. It has been found that 30% replacement has good sensory acceptance with 9.45-9.57% of Dietary fibre.


Keywords: Replacement- Dietary fibre- Hominy flour- Quality Characterisation
