Pasta manufacturing industry, like all industries, caters to the
wants and needs of their consumers. High quality cooked pasta
from durum wheat semolina maintains good texture, resists surface
disintegration, does not release an excessive amount of organic
matter into the cooking water, retains a firm structure, and does not
show surface stickiness (Liu, Shepherd, & Rathjen, 1996). This is
clearly related to the fact that gluten in wheat flour is the main
structure-forming protein, thus its absence in gluten-free (GF)
pasta results in technological and quality problems.
