In general, the optimum cooking time of fresh spaghetti was low and varied from 2 to 4 min Chang and Flores (2004) developed fresh pasta using different proportions of durum wheat semolina and common wheat flour and observed that the optimum cooking time ranged between 5 and 6 min, which was longer than in this study. Lower optimum cooking times (below 3 min) were verified on the contour graph, which are the two areas marked by black lines (Fig. 2C) between points 6, a and b. Thus, lower values of optimum cooking time were achieved in the fresh spaghetti with a formulation of 65e66 g 100 g1 DPP, 9e13 g 100 g1 EPP and 22e25 g 100 g1 AF, as well as in the area close to experimental point 3, with a formulation of 74e80 g 100 g1 DPP, 9e16 g 100 g1 EPP and 10e11 g 100 g1 AF.
