Summary Quality of pastas made from wheat flour (WF) and durum semolina (DWS) with added resistant starch (RS) distilled monoglyceride was evaluated through a central composite rotational design. A press extruder used to produce the pasta. Water absorption index showed statistical difference between WF DWS indicating that proteins present in each samples were different. Pasta obtained presented shorter cooking time less solid loss than those DWS. Increase volume weight gain similar for both...
