The inclusion of 1.2 g of distilled monoglycerides/100 g, 9 g of
egg white powder/100 g, and 50 g of warm distilled water (42e
44 C)/100 g in the recipe allowed the formation of appropriate
dough for pasta making. The drying conditions used in this study
(95 C for 45 min) enable the production of good cooking quality
pasta and contributed to extend the shelf life of the product. The
AFB of 90:10 raw to popped amaranth grain flour was suitable to
make gluten-free and composite pasta with acceptable cooking
quality and texture. These products could be included in the list of
the new food products with inherent nutrition quality which are
beginning to shift interest away from traditional fortified foods.
