Elaboração de massa de pastel sem glúten

Abstract

Pasta or macaroniare unfermented product, presented in various forms obtained by mechanical mixing of the flour or wheat semolina with cold or warm water. Gluten is a complex of 75 % protein, 15% carbohydrates, 6 % fat and 0.8 % minerals. The gluten proteins account for 80 % of total proteins in wheat and fall into two classes, gliadins, which belong to the class of glutenin and prolamine. This work prepared the pastry dough gluten free, making 2 formulations until a mass close to traditional features. We analyzed the water activity, and color of both formulations. Realized that the masses had similar values, but to formulate 2 although there was a small difference in the color analysis on coordinate L *, which indicates brightness pointing a lighter mass formulation 1. The first result was the formulation of a rather brittle and after frying batter, quite rigid texture. In the second attempt with the addition of some ingredients, has come up with a final product appearance and texture very similar to traditional pastel.
