Abstract:

This article explores the influence of poly-cereal pasta ingredients on drying kinetics and finished product quality. The experiments were carried out on three formulations of poly-cereal flour mixtures with the addition of 25% dry wheat gluten during drying at temperatures of 40, 50 and 60°C. The quality of the cooked pasta is assessed using sensory analysis and the score methods. According to the results of studying the rheological properties, the drying rate increases with increasing drying temperature. The maximum drying duration before reaching a moisture level of 10% corresponds to the formulation containing barley and peas. Sensory analysis on quality assessment showed that pasta with a high content of millet and oats received the highest score 93. Other mixtures also received good grades, indicating a balanced composition of all formulations. The optimum drying temperature for these mixtures was found to be 60° C from the point of view of preserving the nutritional properties, quality characteristics of dry food products and energy efficiency in industrial production.
