Abstract

The structural ingredient of pasta was varied in an attempt to identify a suitable and desirable gluten-free fettuccine pasta option. The flours that were used were almond flour, Bob’s TM Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour, cricket flour, potato flour, and cornstarch, with all-purpose flour serving as the control. The objective tests that were performed were a noodle density test, and a water absorption test. Once the various noodles were made, they were presented to a consumer panel and various sensory evaluations were performed to determine the acceptability of appearance, texture, and flavor in fettuccine noodles. Bob’s TM Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour had the most desirable results, and most of the other flours struggled to produce a quality noodle potentially due to an imbalance of wet-to-dry ingredients that would be suitable for that specific kind of flour.
