Effect of red food bean flour on the rheological properties of pasta

Legumes, in particular beans, differ significantly from cereals in protein content, amino acids, micro- and macroelements, so it can be argued that the addition of beans to the composite mixture will improve the nutrient composition and use the final products (pasta or bakery products) as specialized with increased protein content. The purpose of the work is to study the effect of red bean flour on the rheological properties of dough from a composite mixture based on durum wheat grits, as well as to confirm the possibility of using this product for the production of pasta with high protein content. The influence of beans has been determined by establishing a correlation between the qualitative characteristics of the components of the composite mixture and the rheological properties of the dough based on them. The objects of research are grains of durum wheat variety Krasnokutka-13, whole-ground flour from red food beans and composite mixtures based on them in a percentage ratio: 90 : 10, 80 : 20, 70 : 30, 60 : 40, 50 : 50, 40 : 60, 30 : 70, 20 : 80, and 10 : 90, as well as pasta from composite mixtures. The expediency of using bean flour for the production of pasta has been confirmed. The data obtained are applicable for the preparation and conduct of clinical trials of universal mixtures with high protein content based on bean flour in patients with diabetes mellitus, obesity, and metabolic syndrome.
