Tests were performed using a commercial standard semolina
(Durakota No.1) from North Dakota Mill (Grand Forks, ND) and
whole wheat flour (Ultragrain) from ConAgra Foods (Omaha, NE),
with a protein content of 12.1 and 10.9%, 12% mb respectively.
Flaxseed flour was obtained by milling golden flaxseed on a pilot
scale hammer mill (Fitzmill, Elmhurst, IL). The ground flaxseed was
separated into fine (600 mm) by
using a sieve with a 34XXG mesh screen. Only the fine fraction was
used in the pasta dough formulation.
