Protein-enriched spaghetti fortified with corn gluten meal.
Spaghetti was prepared by replacing either 5 or 10% semolina or farina with corn gluten meal, a high-protein fraction from the wet milling of corn, to increase the protein content of pasta. Spaghetti fortified with corn gluten meal had a similar cooked weight and cooking loss but was less firm compared with the control. The overall flavor quality score of the spaghetti decreased with the increasing additions of either water-washed, water/ethanol-washed or regular corn gluten meal because of the higher intensity of the fermented flavor. Spaghetti with acceptable quality can be prepared with 5% water/ethanol-washed corn gluten meal, thereby improving its nutritional value while providing an additional market for corn gluten meal.
