Significant differences were found between selected fresh spaghetti
(FS6) and fresh wheat flour spaghetti for all instrumental
color and cooking characteristics evaluated (Table 4). The optimum
cooking time was 13% lower in FS6 than in fresh wheat flour spaghetti,
which favored a rapid preparation of FS6. The mass increase
of FS6 was 73% higher than that of the fresh wheat flour spaghetti,
which contributed to a higher yield after cooking. The loss of solids
of FS6 was 70% lower compared to fresh wheat flour spaghetti.
