Cooking quality is an important parameter for evaluation of macaroni. Table 2 shows the cooking quality parameters of macaroni products prepared with semolina, and semolina incorporated with 2.5%, 5% and 7.5% of MPP. Cooking quality, which includes cooking loss, cooked weight, and texture of the cooked macaroni, is the most important quality attribute (Feillet & Dexter, 1996). Measurement of cooking loss of macaroni is one of the important parameters in assessing its overall quality. During pasta cooking, soluble parts of starch and other soluble components including non-starch polysaccharides leach into the water.
