The fresh spaghetti formulation selected in the desirability analysis was submitted to an acceptability test using a 9-point hedonic scale for appearance, texture, flavor and odor. Buying intention was evaluated using a 5-point scale among habitual pasta consumers. The tests were performed in a laboratory by eighty non-trained and 11 judges, consisting of 89 female male con sumers, and 81% consumed fresh spaghetti at least every 15 days, Samples were served in individual booths in 25 g portions and accompanied by tomato sauce.
