Once the optimum formulation was determined, it was used to
manufacture gluten-free tagliatelle which were cooked as
described above and all the response variables of this product were
analyzed. Experimental values of each response are presented in
Table 4. It could be observed that the model obtained using surface
response methodology was satisfactory since all textural variables
agreed with the predicted values (P > 0.05). Cooking losses and
total organic matter were overestimated by the model, but this
result is not detrimental to the predictive model because the
optimized formulation resulted in a well-structured network
enhancing the organic matter retention. This study allowed us to
determine a composition to produce high quality cooked glutenfree
pasta
