Considering that untreated CD promotes cancer in intestinal
cells, a highly inflammatory mucosal status, and several
nutrient deficiencies, and that oxidative stress is an important
factor in its pathogenesis,13 developing gluten-free pasta
products with bioactive compounds such as the ones present
in green banana flour is very important for CD patients. Therefore,
the objective of this study was to develop gluten-free
pasta made with green banana flour.
