COCCIÓN DE PASTAS ALIMENTICIAS ELABORADAS CON HARINA DE TRIGO Y ALMIDÓN DE FRUTIPAN (Artocarpus altilis)

the effect of partially replacing wheat flour by 10%, 20% or 30% of native breadfruit starch (Artocarpus altilis) on the cooking parameters in short Fusilli type pastes, obtained by extrusion, was evaluated. Optimum cooking time, percentage of swelling and weight loss by cooking were evaluated. The results indicate that the cooking time of the pastes of 0% substitution (10.66 ± 0.31 minutes), 10% (8.08 ± 0.05 minutes), 20% (8.10 ± 0.10) minutes), 30% (7.87 ± 0.27 minutes) decreases with the percentage of substitution, as well as the weight losses by cooking that were 2.39; 2.46; 3.16 and 4.05% for 0, 10, 20 and 30% substitution, respectively. In relation to the percentage of swelling, the values were 69.09 ± 0.21; 62.93 ± 0.26; 84.19 ± 0.53 and 82.06 ± 0.63% for 0, 10, 20 and 30% substitution, respectively.
