Abstract

Pasta is produced from semolina with the addition of S pirulina platensis at three different levels (5, 10 and 15% w/w) to enhance the sensorial and nutritional quality. Pasta samples were evaluated for cooking quality (weight increase, cooking loss, volume increase), microbiological quality (total mold and yeast count), color ( L , a , b ) and sensory characteristics. The cooking loss in all pasta samples was similar and was below the technologically acceptable limit (<8%). According to color measurements and evaluations of panelists, adding S pirulina in pasta provided an appealing green tone. Also, mold and yeast were not detected in control and pasta enriched with S pirulina . Sensory evaluation indicated that pasta enriched with 10% S . platensis has a good overall score the same as the control group. In this study, the investigation results of pasta enriched with S pirulina indicated satisfactory technological attributes needed in the pasta industry. Practical Applications: Microalgae may enhance the nutritional content of conventional foods to positively affect human health because of their high nutritional components. Pasta is one of the best choices for incorporating S pirulina because it is popular with consumers due to it is easy handling, storage and preparation. There is a great need for scientific knowledge about application of such functional ingredients in industrial food. Determination of the cooking quality parameters of pasta enriched with S pirulina will provide the basic information to the food industry.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
