Pumpkin is one of the one of the most desirable
sources of carotenoids and insoluble dietary fiber (Padalino,
Mastromatteo, Lecce, Cozzolini, & Del Nobile, 2013). Pumpkin
flour (PF) contains 40% cellulose, 4.3% hemicellulose, and 4.3%
lignin (El-Demery, 2011). Therefore, the partial replacement of flour
with PF may overcome the lack of semolina, gluten and carotenoids
in the gluten-free pasta. In addition, PF is mainly used because of its
highly-desirable aroma, sweetness and deep yellow-orange color
